Where you are now

The article is approved. You can publish it from Published, or copy it out for a platform Munshi does not connect to. Approving never publishes anything by itself. The next article waiting is listed on Home.

If something goes wrong

“Finish writing first”

Approve the article first. Published shows this for an article that is not approved yet. Open it and click Mark completed on the banner above the article. Then set its SEO fields and publish it.

There is no Mark completed banner on the article

Finish any open step in Steps. The banner shows only while every step is done and the article is not approved. If the status already reads Approved, there is nothing left to approve.

“Un-published. Back in the pipeline.”

Once the article is live again, mark it published with its address. It had been marked published, so its live address and publish date were cleared.
