Editorial Checklist v1.0.0

Pre-publish checklist for posts: automatic checks and manual items, with publishing blocked until required items pass.

No credit card for the trial. Pro from $3.25/mo, billed annually. 14-day money-back guarantee.

Editorial Checklist puts your house rules next to the Publish button. Writers see a checklist in the editor sidebar that updates as they work, and a post cannot go live until every required item is done. No more posts without a featured image, a category or alt text on the photos.

Editorial Checklist Pro

$39 per year, single site

Everything in Free, plus:

  • Per-role requirements: make an item required only for some roles, for example a legal sign-off for contributors but not for editors.
  • A separate checklist for each post type, started from a ready-made template (blog post, news article, landing page or minimal).
  • A compliance report under Tools > Editorial Compliance: every published post checked against the current checklist, with a compliance percentage and the items each post is missing.
