Make room for the work around the draft

Plan drafting, review and publication dates together

A topic list becomes a calendar when each article has an owner, a drafting slot, time for technical review and a publication target. Use this editable example to agree on the workload before starting the article.

  • Separate draft, review and publication targets
  • Changed dates, questions and owners update the output
  • Download CSV; no scheduled or published task is created

A calendar with owners and review space

Drafting starts on your selected date; this example places review two days later and publication targets another two days later, one week between rows. Dates, owners and edited questions update the table and CSV. Extra rows repeat sample questions until you replace them.

Start with the questions and pages worth working on

Select buyer tasks your team can answer and identify the current page for each task. A calendar can contain an update as well as a new article. If the needed business evidence is missing, assign the evidence task before committing a draft date.

The topical-map guide assigns questions to pages; the frequency guide discusses workload. This template adds the dated handoffs and responsible roles that those decisions still need.

Reserve review capacity before filling every drafting slot

Put a named draft owner and a responsible reviewer beside the question. The sample places review two days after drafting and the publication target two days after that. These are fixed example intervals. After export, adjust them in your own spreadsheet to match the review time your team needs.

Ask the reviewer whether they can inspect the sources and product conditions in that slot. If not, move the start date, reduce the number of rows or change the assignment before treating the plan as a commitment.

Use publication targets as targets

A date in this worksheet does not schedule a website action. Before publishing, the team still reviews the current article, resolves remaining issues and checks the destination. If review is unfinished, revise the calendar rather than calling the row published.

The CSV can be kept in your team’s spreadsheet. It does not sync to Blogo, create WordPress jobs or run paid drafting. Use the existing article library when you are ready to work on one question.

Update the plan from completed work

After an article is reviewed and handed to the publishing team, record what actually happened in your own tracking system. Compare planned dates with the real review effort and adjust future capacity.

Keep old work visible when planning refreshes. A dated row identifies a task and owner; it is not proof of search indexing, traffic or completed publication.

  • Bring one selected question into the article library.
  • Keep evidence collection separate from drafting.
  • Confirm the current text before editorial handoff.

Source and its scope

Questions

Does downloading the calendar schedule articles?
It downloads the current CSV only. The worksheet creates no article, automation or publishing job.
What happens when I change the starting date?
All draft dates move in weekly increments; review and publication targets retain the displayed two-day offsets. The table and CSV update together.
Are the sample review gaps recommendations for every team?
They are fixed illustrative offsets. Choose a workload your responsible reviewers can handle; the page does not forecast completion time.
