Draft or live: how an article lands in each CMS
Ghost, Webflow and Framer get a draft you publish. WordPress gets a draft now or goes live at a scheduled slot. Sanity goes live, now or at the slot.
Ghost, Webflow and Framer always get a draft, which you publish from their own dashboard. WordPress gets a draft when you publish now, and puts the article live by itself when you schedule it. Sanity goes live, now or at the scheduled slot. A CMS is the tool your blog runs on.
WordPress
Publishing now saves the article in WordPress as a draft. Munshi says “Saved in WordPress as a draft. Review and publish it from your WordPress dashboard.” The article's status in Munshi reads Landed as a draft in WordPress.
Scheduling sends the article to WordPress with its date and time, and WordPress puts it live at that slot by itself. The body arrives as WordPress blocks, so you can edit it as normal. Its images are copied into your media library.
Ghost, Webflow and Framer
These three always hold the article as a draft, whether you publish now or schedule. Scheduling decides when Munshi sends the draft, not when it goes live. At the slot, the article is sent again, still as a draft. It goes live when you publish it in the platform.
- Ghost: “Saved in Ghost as a draft. Review and publish it from your Ghost dashboard.”
- Webflow: “Saved in Webflow as a draft item. Publish it from your Webflow CMS.” The article goes into the collection's rich text field.
- Framer: the article is saved as a draft item in your Framer CMS collection. You review and publish it from Framer.
Sanity
Publishing now writes the live document. Munshi says: “Published to Sanity.”
Scheduling saves a draft document instead, so Studio shows it coming. Munshi says: “Staged in Sanity as a draft until the scheduled slot.” At the slot, Munshi publishes it and clears the staged draft.
The document is of type post, with a title, body, slug and excerpt.
Which platforms carry the cover
The cover you chose for the article goes with it to four platforms. If you chose no cover, Munshi uses the first image in the article.
- WordPress: the featured image, uploaded to your media library.
- Ghost: the feature image, uploaded to Ghost.
- Sanity: the main image, uploaded to your assets.
- Webflow: written into every Image field in the collection, with its alt text.
- Framer: not written. Add the image in Framer when you publish.
If something goes wrong
“Landed as a draft in WordPress. Publish it there when you're ready.”
Open the article in your WordPress dashboard, review it and publish it. Publishing now always leaves a draft in WordPress. To have WordPress put an article live by itself, schedule it instead.
I scheduled an article to Ghost and it is still a draft
Publish it from the platform's own dashboard. Ghost, Webflow and Framer keep the article as a draft at its slot.
The cover is missing in Webflow or Framer
In Framer, add the image yourself before you publish, because Framer does not get the cover. In Webflow, add an Image field to the collection and publish the article again. Webflow puts the cover in Image fields, so a collection with none has nowhere to hold it.
