Managing source material: classification, pinning, pausing

The classification flow, pinning to a piece of content, pausing and archiving, and when to use which.

Updated: 16 October 20263 min read

Short answer

Uploaded material does not land in a passive folder: the system classifies it, and you decide which pieces take part in generation. For items awaiting classification you can accept the suggestion or adjust the category; for finished items you can enable or pause their use, pin one to a specific piece of content, archive it or delete it. That is how you control which information ends up in which article.

The classification flow

After processing, material lands in the awaiting classification list. The system says what it thinks it is — a service description, a case study, pricing information — and proposes how to use it. You have two options:

  • Looks right — accept the suggestion and the material joins the usable set.
  • Adjust — refine the category, or answer a few quick questions so the classification is more accurate.

What you can do with an item

ActionWhat it doesWhen to use it
Use in generationThe material takes part in content production.The default state for anything useful and current.
PauseThe material stays but generation does not use it.A seasonal promotion after the season, or information under review.
Pin to contentAttach the material to a specific piece so it is certainly used there.When an article has to be about one particular case study or document.
ArchiveOut of the day-to-day list but not gone; can be reactivated.A finished project, old campaign material — things you may need but that are in the way now.
DeleteRemoves it permanently.A wrong file, a duplicate, or something that must not be stored.

What you see in an item's detail

  • Transcript — for video and audio, the spoken words written out. You can edit it if it misheard a technical term.
  • Extracted text — for documents and images, what the system read. If this is empty or wrong, the file is probably a scan with no text layer.
  • Safety — the result of the content check. Blocked material is not used.
  • Repurposing ideas — suggestions for what content could come out of this material.

Why is the extracted text empty?

Usually because the PDF is a scan rather than a text layer. The system then uses image recognition, which can be incomplete on a poor scan — try uploading the text original.

How many items go into producing one article?

The system picks the material most relevant to the topic, not all of it. If a particular item must appear, pin it.

Does archived material use storage?

Yes — archiving is not deletion: the file remains. To free storage you have to delete.
