Review and edit generated content before publishing

Every piece of content Shipstar generates goes through a simple lifecycle before it's published: it starts as pending while it waits to be processed, moves to processing while the content is being written, and lands at completed (or failed) when the job finishes. You can review and edit the result at any point after it reaches completed, and nothing is published until you explicitly choose to publish it.

Finding and editing drafts in the dashboard

1. Open the Calendar page. Each generated piece appears as an event on the calendar.
2. Click an event to open the content sheet. The sheet shows the current status, the generated text, and any metadata like the date range used.
3. To edit, click into the content body directly. Changes are saved inline — there is no separate edit mode to switch into.
4. Once you're satisfied, click Publish Now or use a scheduled delivery to distribute the content.

Editing content via the API

You can update content programmatically with:

PATCH /sources/content/{content_id}

Pass the fields you want to update in the request body. This is useful if you're building an automated workflow that post-processes generated drafts before publishing.

Team review on the Team plan

On the Team plan, every team member receives an email notification when a new piece of content is ready for review. Any member — not just the owner — can open the draft, make edits, and approve it. Each person can opt out of these notifications in their individual notification preferences. This makes it easy for the whole team to stay in the loop on what's going out, even without dedicated marketing oversight. See Plans & Credits for a full breakdown of owner versus member permissions.
