Review & Edit Articles

Turn a generated Draft into an Article you are confident delivering.

Tallpine gives you a review-ready starting point. Review first keeps it private until you explicitly approve publishing. Autopilot can approve and queue it from the Site policy without a per-Article click. In both modes, verify claims and links, make direct edits, and use a revision only when it saves you time.

You remain responsible for the output. Check facts, quotations, links, product details, Images, alt text, and metadata. Monitor Autopilot output and pause it when a Site needs closer review.

Understand the Three Article Tabs

The Articles page follows the Article from review to publication:

Drafts contains Articles waiting for review, editing, or approval.
Queued contains approved Articles waiting for or undergoing managed CMS delivery. Review first requires your approval; Autopilot approves and queues completed Articles automatically.
Published contains Articles confirmed by a connected CMS or manually published as a ZIP.
Badges such as Approved, Approved by Autopilot, Publishing, and Failed explain what is happening within a tab.

Publish as ZIP downloads a portable copy and moves the Article directly from Drafts to Published. It does not send the Article to a connected CMS.

A Reliable Review Pass

Open Articles, choose a Draft, and start in Read view.
Read from beginning to end. Confirm the audience, angle, structure, claims, examples, links, and call to action.
Inspect every Image and verify its relevance, alt text, caption, and attribution.
Switch to Edit, make the necessary changes, and choose Save.
Return to Read view for a final proofread before delivery.

A dot on the Save action means there are unsaved changes. Wait for theSaved confirmation before leaving the editor. If saving fails, your current changes remain visible so you can retry when the connection is stable.

Edit the Article Directly

Direct editing is free. It does not consume an Article, a Quick edit, or an Image regeneration. In Edit view you can change:

Title: the Article headline.
Markdown: the full body, including headings, links, lists, and Image references.
Excerpt: a short summary available to exports and supported publishing destinations.
Slug: the URL-friendly identifier.
Meta Title: the search-title field included with the Article metadata.
Meta Description: the search-description field included with the Article metadata.
Keywords: the terms stored with this Article.

The character guides beside the meta fields help with common search display lengths, but your destination decides how or whether those fields appear.

Request Article Revisions

Choose Request revisions, then select the lightest mode that fits the change:

Quick edits changes specific parts of the current Draft from your instructions. Existing Images stay attached. Each Article includes two Quick edits.
Guided rewrite reshapes the Draft with your instructions and new length, tone, or Image settings. It consumes one Article and one full regeneration for this Article.
From scratch runs a fresh research, outline, writing, and Image Pipeline. It consumes one Article and one full regeneration for this Article.

By default, each Article includes 3 full regenerations. This allowance does not refill. The remaining allowance appears inline; when none remain, the unavailable action is replaced by Contact support to get more.

Quick edits are best for requests such as “shorten the introduction,” “make the second section clearer,” or “make the conclusion more direct.” Use direct editing for changes that are faster to make yourself. Use a full rewrite only when the structure or direction needs to change.

The current Draft remains available while revision work runs. Follow its progress in Activity, then review the returned Draft again. See Billing for what consumes an Article and how failed work affects usage.

Regenerate an Image

In Read view, choose the regenerate action on an attached Image. You can add optional visual guidance and select relevant First Party resources from Media. Tallpine sends the request to the configured Image generator and replaces the Image only after the new result is ready.

By default, each Article includes 3 Image regenerations. The remaining allowance appears inline; when none remain, contact support to get more.
An Image regeneration does not consume an Article.
The allowance does not refill. Each new Article receives its own.
Describe the desired subject, composition, style, and any details that must remain accurate.
Review the replacement, then update alt text or surrounding Markdown if the meaning changed.

Choose What Happens Next

After the final review, you can:

Keep the Draft in Tallpine with no remote delivery.
Approve for publishing so the Article can take its place in the daily queue.
Publish now from Publishing after selecting any ready Articles you want to send. Tallpine processes selections in visible queue order and leaves unselected Articles scheduled.
Publish as ZIP to download portable Markdown, metadata, and available attached Images and move directly to Published.

See Publishing & Queue for connection setup, the daily time, queue order, manual publishing, and export settings.

Bulk Actions

Use the checkboxes on Articles when the same action applies to several items:

Publish as ZIP prepares one ZIP from the selected Drafts and moves them directly to Published after it completes.
Download ZIP prepares a fresh ZIP from selected Published Articles without changing their delivery history.
Delete permanently removes Articles you no longer want. Review the confirmation carefully.

Save any direct edits before starting a bulk action so the latest saved version is included.

If Something Fails

For a save error, keep the editor open and choose Save again after checking your connection.
For a failed revision or Image update, read the Activity message before retrying. Avoid starting a duplicate while work is queued or running.
For a delivery error, keep the local Draft, test its destination, then use the recovery action shown on the Article.

More recovery guidance is available in Troubleshooting & Support.
