# Editorial Workflow

Use statuses to show whether a page is ready for readers.

## Statuses

- Draft: work in progress.
- In Review: ready for a teammate to check.
- Beta: usable, but still changing.
- Stable: published and supported.
- Deprecated: kept for reference, but no longer recommended.

## Publish a page

1. Open the article in the composer.
2. Confirm the title, body, sidebar placement, and visibility.
3. Change the status to **Stable**.
4. Save.

Only members with write access can edit content. Status changes are a separate permission for agent keys.

## Archive a page

Archive pages that should disappear from public docs, search, sitemap, and machine-readable exports. Archived pages are hidden without permanently deleting their history.

## Review checklist

- The first paragraph says what the page is for.
- Steps are ordered and testable.
- Code samples use real placeholders.
- Links point to live pages.
- The page has a clear next step.
