CMS publishing
A saved record is not the finish line.
CMS publishing connects your editorial system with the place where readers encounter the article. The important work includes field mapping, editable formatting, draft previews, revision ownership, and recovery when an operation has an uncertain result. These guides explore WordPress and Ghost through those practical concerns. Neither assumes that a successful request proves a faithful import. Use the WordPress guide to think through post identity and controlled publication; use the Ghost guide to examine editor behavior and separate web publishing from email decisions. The common objective is a destination draft that a reviewer can inspect, improve, and publish with confidence in exactly which revision is being released.
