Content Workflow

How to manage content as it moves through the Orion pipeline -- from initial generation through review and publishing.

Best Practice

Review content promptly when it reaches the In Review stage. Letting items sit in review too long can delay your publishing schedule and reduce trend relevance.

Viewing the Content Queue

Navigate to Content Queue from the sidebar. All content items are displayed as cards organized in a grid layout.

Content Queue

Each card shows:

  • Thumbnail -- Preview of the generated media
  • Status badge -- Current pipeline stage (Draft, Generating, In Review, Approved, Published, Rejected)
  • Confidence score -- AI-assigned quality score (shown for items past the Draft stage)
  • Title -- Content headline
  • Body preview -- First line of the content body
  • Timestamp -- When the content was created or last updated

Filtering by Status

Use the filter tabs at the top of the Content Queue to narrow down items by their pipeline status.

Content Queue with Approved filter active

Available filters:

Filter What It Shows
All Every content item across all statuses
Draft Newly created content not yet submitted for generation
Generating Content currently being processed by AI services
In Review Generated content awaiting human review
Approved Content that passed review and is ready to publish
Published Content that has been published to one or more platforms
Rejected Content that was rejected during review

Click any filter tab to instantly update the view. The active filter is highlighted with a colored border.

Sorting Content

Use the Sort by controls in the top-right corner:

  • Date -- Most recent first (default)
  • Score -- Highest confidence score first

Content Pipeline Stages

Content moves through these stages in order:

    Draft --> Generating --> InReview["In Review"]
    InReview --> Approved --> Published
    InReview --> Rejected
    Rejected -.->|Regenerate| Draft

Draft

The initial state when a trend has been selected for content creation. The content brief exists but generation has not started.

Generating

The AI pipeline is actively creating content. You can monitor progress on the Generation page, which shows each sub-stage (Research, Script, Critique, Images, Video, Render).

In Review

Generation is complete and the content is waiting for human review. Open the content detail view to:

  • Read the full script
  • Preview generated images and video
  • Check the confidence score
  • Approve or Reject the content

Review Checklist

Before approving content, check: (1) the script tone matches your brand, (2) generated images are relevant and high-quality, (3) the video renders correctly with audio, and (4) the confidence score is above your threshold.

Approved

Content has passed review and is queued for publishing. Navigate to Publishing to see scheduled and completed publish jobs.

Published

Content has been successfully published to one or more platforms. The Publishing History table shows the platform, post ID, and publish timestamp.

Rejected

Content that did not meet quality standards. Rejected content can be sent back for regeneration.

Pagination

When there are more items than fit on one page, pagination controls appear at the bottom of the content grid. Click a page number to navigate.
