Editing Suite

Read time 6 min Level Beginner Prerequisites A release drafted on the MEDIA RELEASES tab in Campaign Builder

In a nutshell: The Editing Suite is a focused, distraction-free editor purpose-built for reviewers and approvers. An assigned reviewer opens one release, reads it, makes any edits, and approves it -- with the same four fields and 15-second auto-save as Campaign Builder's inline editor, stripped of everything else. Approve is publish: the moment a release is Approved, the media pack PDF, email pitches, portals and reports all pull that version.

The four fields, the auto-save, and the review-and-approve flow.
What "Approved" means for everything downstream.

The mental model: a quiet room for the reviewer

Drafting happens in Campaign Builder > MEDIA RELEASES, where the inline editor sits alongside the Story's brief, strategy, talent and media pack. The Editing Suite is a separate, single-purpose page: a focused editor where an assigned reviewer opens one release, reads it, makes edits, and approves it. Nothing else on the screen.

The split is deliberate. Drafting needs context -- the Story's brief, the angle, the bullets, the AI helpers. Reviewing needs focus -- one release, four fields, an approve button. Two surfaces, each tuned to its job, both feeding the same canonical release.

Acme PR Corp routes every Globex Wellbeing Index release through the Editing Suite for final sign-off before it goes out.

How you reach the Editing Suite

Two routes, both link-based:

By an Assign link. On the MEDIA RELEASES inline editor, click Assign (or Add Reviewer inside the Editing Suite) and pick an internal team member or type an external email address. The reviewer gets an email with a link straight to that release in the Editing Suite. External reviewers do not need a Buzzscribed login -- the link carries a one-time token, and a Return to Sender button at the end sends the release back when they finish.
From the Pending Reviews widget. Your home dashboard carries a Pending Reviews widget listing releases waiting on you; each row links straight into the Editing Suite.

What is on the page

The four fields: The same four content fields as Campaign Builder's inline editor: Headline, Summary, Body, and Suggested Questions, References and Citations. Edit them like any rich-text area.
Auto-save: Changes save automatically about every 15 seconds, with a "Saved at HH:MM" indicator. The browser warns if you try to close the tab with unsaved edits. Approved releases lock against further auto-saves -- the canonical version stays intact.
Save & Close: Saves current content and closes the editor. Use when you have made edits but the approval is someone else's call.
Assign / Add Reviewer: Pass the release on to another reviewer -- internal (pick from the tenant user list) or external (enter an email). The new reviewer gets the same kind of link, on the same release.
Approve: Marks the release Approved -- the action that publishes it across every downstream surface (see below). Approved releases lock; reverting the approval in Campaign Builder reopens them for further edits.

What Approved means downstream

Approval is publishing. The moment a release is Approved, everything that consumes release content reads that version:

The branded media pack PDF and Spokesperson Pack.
Email Pitching -- the release attached to a pitch.
The Client portal and the public Schedule portal.
Story Performance, the NewsWire post, coverage and reporting pages.

Treat Approve as the moment of commitment. If a journalist or client already has the pack or the pitch, anything you change after a revert is a re-issue rather than a quiet edit.

Try this: In Campaign Builder, open a Story, head to MEDIA RELEASES, and click Assign. Pick yourself as the reviewer. Check your email for the link, click it, and confirm you land in the Editing Suite on that exact release -- four fields populated, auto-save bar at the top. The full review loop in three clicks.

Quick reference

The Editing Suite is a standalone, distraction-free reviewer page.
Reach it by an Assign / Add Reviewer email link, or the Pending Reviews dashboard widget.
Four fields: Headline, Summary, Body, Suggested Questions, References and Citations.
~15-second auto-save; Save & Close; Assign; Approve.
External reviewers work via a tokened link with no login; Return to Sender closes the loop.
Approve = publish: the approved release flows to the media pack PDF, email pitches, portals and reports.

Key takeaways

The Editing Suite is the reviewer's focused editor, reached by a link from Campaign Builder or the Pending Reviews widget.
Same four fields and the same auto-save as Campaign Builder's inline editor, stripped of every other distraction.
Approval is the publishing trigger -- the approved release becomes the single version every downstream surface pulls from on its next render.
