Editorial Workflow Steps

Scalar’s editorial workflow requires that the book’s content goes through six editorial stages to be published. 

Draft. All content begins in the private Draft state, where Authors can add, remove, and edit content as they see fit.

Edit. Once content is ready for editing, an Author moves it to the Edit state, where only Editors can make changes. Editors can edit page by page or use the scrolling Editorial Path view to quickly move through the book’s content and make edits or add queries.

Edit Review. When editing is complete, an Editor moves the content to the Edit Review state, where Authors can review, accept, reject, and otherwise respond to changes and queries suggested by Editors. 

Clean. Once all changes are made, an Author moves the content to the Clean state for editorial sign-off. 

Ready. When an Editor decides that the content is ready to be published, they move it to to the Ready state. 

Published. Finally, when an Editor moves content to the Published state, it becomes publicly available.
