Publishing Workflow

Make the handoff from recording to finished story easier to trust.

Inside this collection

Publishing involves more than exporting a file. The articles here connect episode organization, local recording, excerpt review and transcript preparation. Each focuses on a particular handoff where meaning, accuracy or a usable asset can be lost when the process remains implicit.

Choose a starting point

Use one consistent record linking source files, published versions and the decisions made during review. Test the final output, not only the editor preview. Keep captions and text attached to the media version they describe, and make the destination of a promotional excerpt clear. A modest repeatable workflow is more useful than an elaborate one nobody can reliably follow.
