# Kanban Content Pipeline Board

{% embed url="<https://www.loom.com/share/396cab6e3bfc4eb39fb4c5100df8c29d>" %}

The Kanban Content Pipeline is a visual board that lets marketing agencies track every article—from idea to publication—across all client domains in one place. It replaces scattered spreadsheets and endless email chains with a single, role-based workflow.

***

#### 1 . Why Use the Pipeline?

* **Unified view** of every draft for every client
* **Drag-and-drop** progress tracking (Created → Research → Draft → Review → Approved → Publish)
* **Role assignments** for writers, editors, clients, and admins
* Integrated actions: *Create Brief | Keyword Research | Write with AI | Publish to WordPress*

#### 2 . Board Layout and Filters

| Element              | Purpose                                                                     |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Domain Filter**    | Focus on one client or view all domains at once.                            |
| **Columns / Phases** | Created, Brief Ready, Draft, Review, Approved, Publish.                     |
| **Cards**            | Each card = one article, showing due date, assignee initials, and keywords. |

Tip: Filter to **ColorGuru** (or any client) to see only its scheduled articles.
