Create and edit a content piece

Create a content record, complete its workflow fields and use Plan, Media and Publish without splitting the work across tools.

Create one content piece for each publishable idea. The record holds its planning, ownership, files, discussion and publishing setup.

Create the record

  1. 01
    Open the correct brand, then in the sidebar open Content and select Content planner.
  2. 02
    Select New, or use an add-post control within the relevant group.
  3. 03
    Give the piece a clear working title.
  4. 04
    Set its status, priority, post type, platform, category, assignee, post date and project as needed.
  5. 05
    Open Plan and add the brief or script.

1. Create a blank content piece

2. Write the working brief

3. Choose the correct post type

4. Assign an owner

5. Review the finished content piece

Edit as the work develops

Use Media for creative files and versions. Use Publish for targets, captions and timing. Add comments for decisions that collaborators need to understand, and @mention the person who should respond.

Sequence saves editable fields as you work. Before closing, check that the visible status, assignee and date match the next action.

Respect published locks

Some publishing fields become locked after a post is published because changing Sequence cannot change the version already live on the platform. Duplicate the content when you need a new publishable version, then update its date, target and wording.
