When a publication deadline moves, confirm the audience, release time, and which drafts are on the critical path. Reassign review slots and leave time for the writer to apply feedback. If time is short, reduce optional material or publish a narrower piece rather than dropping fact checks, source review, accessibility, or final approval.
Use clear statuses—drafting, in review, changes requested, approved, published—and name the owner of the next step. A late change to a factual claim should return to review even if an earlier version was approved. Tell downstream teams when copy is truly final, not merely when the calendar says it should be. Preserve the revision record for later corrections.
