Draft to publish

Authoring is where you build what a cohort sees each week: the events, the "what matters" briefings, the to-dos, and the check-in. Everything you write moves through the same simple lifecycle.

The status flow

A piece of content is always in one of four states, shown by the colour along its left edge:

• Draft — written, not visible to students. Warm tint.
• Scheduled — set to go live at a chosen time. Blue.
• Published — live to every matched student now. Green.
• Archived — retired, but recoverable from the archived filter. Grey.

You can publish several drafts at once with multi-select, which is handy when a whole week is ready to go.

The six-week arc

Content is organised by week. A cohort runs across a set number of weeks (six is typical) and each piece is scoped to a week number. The timeline view shows every week as a tab, marked as now, coming up, or complete, so you always know what is live and what is ahead.

Scheduling

Every item can carry a publish-at time. Leave it empty and the item goes live the moment you publish. Set it, and the item stays scheduled until that moment arrives, then publishes itself.

Audience targeting

Each item can be tagged by campus, program, and role. The facets combine with AND: an item tagged a campus and a program shows only to students who match both. Leave a facet untagged and it is universal across that facet.

This is how one cohort's feed can carry both "everyone" content and content meant only for, say, the Sunshine Coast business students.

The AI writing assistant

You can have the assistant draft content for you. Assistant-written items are marked Written by AI and can be filtered as a group, so nothing AI-drafted goes live unreviewed by accident. The moment you edit an AI draft, it flips back to a human draft. The assistant drafts; you decide.
