Information

Contently’s text editor provides a collaborative environment for drafting and editing content. It allows team members and freelancers to work on content directly in the platform, track changes, and make revisions in real time. This ensures that content creation is organized and that the entire team can stay updated on progress.

Here’s how to use Contently’s text editor for content creation:

Step 1: Accessing the text editor

• Once a story is created and assigned, navigate to the story page.
• On the left side of the story page, you’ll see the text editor where you can begin drafting or editing content.

Step 2: Drafting content

• Start by typing directly into the text editor. The editor supports basic formatting tools such as bold, italics, headers, bullet points, and links.
• Use the toolbar at the top of the text editor to format your text. You can also add hyperlinks, images, and other media as needed.
• The editor automatically saves your work as you type, ensuring that no progress is lost. You can also manually save by clicking the "Save" button.

Step 3: Collaborating in real time

• Multiple team members can collaborate on a piece of content simultaneously. The text editor tracks changes, allowing for real-time editing and revisions.
• To add a comment or suggest a revision, simply highlight a section of text and leave an inline comment. This feature is useful for providing feedback on specific parts of the draft.
• Tagged team members will receive notifications of comments or changes, allowing them to review and address feedback efficiently.

Step 4: Reviewing and editing drafts

• Once the draft is complete, it can be reviewed and edited within the text editor. The editor allows you to compare previous versions of the document to see changes that were made during the writing process.
• If additional revisions are needed, you can make edits directly in the editor or leave comments for further clarification.

Step 5: Submitting the content

• After the content is finalized, you can submit it for the next step in the workflow (e.g., review or approval).
• Click "Submit" to indicate that your step in the workflow is complete. The content will automatically move to the next step, and the assigned team member will be notified.

Using Contently’s text editor simplifies the content creation process by providing a centralized platform for drafting, reviewing, and editing content. It facilitates real-time collaboration and ensures that the entire team stays informed throughout the workflow.
