Advanced enterprise workflows

Designed to support content teams

Wagtail comes with features that support the whole publishing process from writing the first draft to copyediting to publication. Wagtail supports each step you need to create flawless content, no matter how many steps you need.

Customisable workflows

Control who can moderate, review, and publish content

Whether you need one editing step or many, the custom workflows in Wagtail give you options to add as little or as much content review as you need. The fine permissions in Wagtail make it easy to control who can moderate, review, and publish content.

Site history

Full transparency into who has made changes

With the site history feature, you’ll have full transparency into who has made changes to your content and how. You can log and audit user actions with the site history report directly in the Wagtail administrative panel or through a backend management command.

Revision rollbacks

Rollback to the version that you want to share with the world

Editing often involves multiple revisions and it can be hard to keep track of the changes made from version to version. Wagtail includes a built-in revision comparison tool that can help you rollback to the version that you want to share with the world.

Scheduling

Take full control over your editorial calendar

You can schedule posts to go live whenever you choose and you can set an expiration date on content so that your time-limited posts are automatically unpublished.

Commenting and notifications

Editors can review and request content changes directly in Wagtail
