Add-ons

Add-ons extend an Aeon News WordPress installation for specific editorial or audience needs. Enable a tool because it supports a defined workflow, not because every capability should appear in the editor.

Available add-ons

Aeon News Add-ons provides polls, quizzes and video features. The quiz tools include knowledge quizzes, personality tests, matching guides, opinion compasses and anonymous surveys. Popular Posts highlights readership patterns, Proofreading supports editorial review, Translate / Migrate supports planned language or content moves, and Comment Agent supports comment workflows. Use the dedicated poll guide and quiz guide for their editorial flows.

Introduce one workflow at a time

Name an editor responsible for each enabled add-on. Decide which story types may use it, what review is required, and how readers can report a problem. Train the team with real, low-risk examples before changing a large section of the site.

Keep optional tools optional

An add-on should not make a basic article harder to publish. Review its editorial value, accessibility and maintenance needs after launch. If a tool changes the reader experience, include it in routine front-page and mobile checks.
