Reels
Reels editorial workflow
Select suitable stories, create a vertical video and keep editorial approval in the publishing chain.
Last updated 27 August 2026
Reels Creator turns an eligible WordPress article into a vertical news video. The source article remains the editorial record. Video is a derived format and should not introduce claims, certainty or emphasis that the reporting does not support.
Choose the right story
Prefer stories with a clear central development, complete source text and usable visual material. Complex investigations, sensitive breaking news and stories whose meaning depends on charts or long qualifications may require manual adaptation or may be unsuitable.
Manual workflow
- Complete and review the article in WordPress.
- Open the Reels controls for the post.
- Select the intended voice, language and configured destinations.
- Start creation and follow the status.
- Review the finished video before distribution.
Check names, numbers, pronunciation, image treatment and whether the opening gives an accurate reason to continue watching. Keep editorial approval separate from the technical success status: a generated file can be technically complete and still need revision.
If the source article changes materially, review every derivative video and distribution copy affected by that change.
