Writing — Editorial

One surface for everyone who writes: /editorial.

It is open to any grant holder, not only moderators. It shows the queues over the branches you hold, and the library itself below them — browsable and searchable, every row opening straight in the editor.

• The queues — the six lists, and exactly what puts an article in each.

• Writing an article — starting one, the editor, saving, publishing, and what refine rewrites.

• Drafting with AI — the two drafting paths, what each is grounded in, and what "refine" rewrites.

• Revisions and restoring — what is snapshotted, when, and how to put it back.

• Figures and the bin — unlinking versus binning, and the one job that destroys anything.

• Decks from articles — generating cards, and the many-to-many link back.

• Managing decks and cards — writing cards by hand, who may delete or share a deck, and the bin.

• Feedback from learners — the reports, who sees them, and replying.

The editorial workflow

draft  ──►  in_review  ──►  published

• draft — invisible to learners. An article with generated_by set is a machine draft nobody has read yet.
• in_review — submitted. submitted_at is stamped.
• published — live. reviewed_at and reviewed_by are stamped, cross- references are linked, and the article is reindexed for search.

first_published_at is stamped on the first publish and never cleared. It is what decides whether deleting the article bins it or removes it outright.

Moving an article through these states is moderator-only, even for an article a grant holder may otherwise rewrite entirely. Editing is editorial work; publishing is a decision about what the library contains.

The change log

GET /access/changes (moderator-only, /changes in the interface) records nothing new of its own. It reads question_versions and article_revisions directly and merges them into one newest-first list: kind, id, title, who, when, and the note. Filterable by user, capped at 500.

It is moderator-only rather than open to grant holders because it names people and what they did — oversight, rather than editorial work.
