Noindex desk

Move one real story carefully before it becomes public.

The Pilot Story Desk is a draft-only workflow for the first Public Memory story. It keeps sources, rights, privacy, metadata, correction routing, and owner review visible before anything can enter the public story corpus.

Back to ToolkitPrepare source packet

Desk flow

Six gates before any article can become public.

Every gate is review support only. The desk cannot publish, index, create a CMS entry, or activate monetization.

  1. 1

    Source packet

    Collect source links, custody notes, and missing-source blockers.

  2. 2

    Owner intake

    Review rights, privacy, consent, and sensitive-claim flags.

  3. 3

    Draft workspace

    Prepare headline, deck, body, source note, and metadata locally.

  4. 4

    Policy pass

    Check noindex, no-ad, source, rights, privacy, and correction gates.

  5. 5

    Approval request

    Package a future source-controlled publication request.

  6. 6

    Publication hold

    Keep the pilot out of public rails until explicit owner approval.

Desk map

Jump to the active review surface.

The desk is intentionally long because every step remains private, browser-local, and gated. These shortcuts make the workflow scannable without adding publish, index, CMS, ad, or provider behavior.

Public state

Noindex / no sitemap / no public listing

Draft scaffold

Public Memory Pilot Draft

Keep noindex and out of sitemap, Explore, Source Index, homepage shelves, category rails, and public collection rails until every owner-review gate passes.

First and second pilot bundles

Public Memory pilot policy pass candidates prepared.

This section tracks pilot candidates before owner approval moves any story into source-controlled publication.

Noindex, policy pass prepared

Public Memory pilot bundle (policy-ready draft)

First real pilot article candidate for the Public Memory lane. This bundle keeps policy checks explicit while remaining out of public story rails until owner indexing approval.

Policy pass checks

  • Every factual claim is tied to a source note and rights/privacy review state.
  • Correction route and source trail are documented before publication consideration.
  • Owner indexing decision remains explicit and defaults to noindex.
  • The candidate remains `indexable: false` until the full owner approval packet is completed.
Open pilot story candidate
Noindex, policy pass pending

Public Memory pilot bundle (scope + consent pass)

Second pilot story candidate for the Public Memory lane. This bundle keeps consent boundaries, source custody, and correction responsibilities explicit before owner indexing approval.

Policy pass checks

  • The source and media scope remains local-only and clearly marked as pending until owner consent is completed.
  • Privacy, consent, and sensitive-claim flags are declared before drafting any community-facing claim.
  • Rights and source trail references appear with date and custody context in draft notes.
  • Owner indexing decision remains noindex until explicit policy pack completion and approval.
Open pilot story candidate

Cross-bundle next actions

  • Use the Source Packet, Intake, Draft Desk, and Owner-Review Gate to complete the policy pack.
  • Attach the approval request with explicit owner decision before moving any source record.
  • Use the publication handoff and validator as the handoff layer only after policy pass review.
  • Keep the story out of homepage, category rails, Source Index, and sitemap until explicit index approval.
  • Use the source packet intake and owner intake review to complete custody and consent flags.
  • Keep this candidate out of homepage, collection, category, and source-index rails until approval.
  • Prepare a paired approval request after owner-review checks are complete.
  • Track correction paths and media-credit updates before publication consideration.

Public gate monitor

Confirm the pilot stays out of public story systems.

This browser-side monitor checks noindex, sitemap count and exclusions, draft-route status, Explore and Source Index exclusions, and OpenNext Worker headers when running live. It reads public routes only and cannot publish, index, create a CMS entry, create a CultureUp story record, or activate monetization.

Public gate snapshot

0/0 checks passing

This monitor reads public routes only. It cannot publish, index, create a CMS entry, create a CultureUp story record, or activate monetization.

    This monitor only reads public routes and headers.

    Source packet

    Gather proof before shaping the public story.

    Public Memory stories can involve family material, archives, cultural context, living people, creators, and community history. The source packet keeps the draft useful without creating premature public claims.

    Pending

    Primary source packet

    Collect direct records, archive links, collection notes, public documents, interview approvals, or owner-provided material before drafting factual claims.

    Pending

    Rights-reviewed media

    Confirm creator, holder, license, usage limits, caption context, alt text, and whether any image, audio, video, screenshot, or document can be published.

    Privacy and consent notes

    Record consent boundaries before naming private people, publishing personal details, using family material, or referencing minors or sensitive community history.

    Review guidance

    Correction route

    Keep the correction path visible so the owner can review updates before and after publication.

    Workflow gates

    Four checks before CultureUp can publish.

    Source packet intake

    Gather the material before writing the article, and keep uncertain claims marked pending.

    • Name every source, holder, creator, collection, public record, or interview approval.
    • Separate direct evidence from context, memory, interpretation, and opinion.
    • Record access dates and archive links when available.
    • Escalate legal, safety, medical, financial, political, or identity-sensitive claims.

    Draft review

    Turn the packet into a labeled draft without pretending it is already reported or approved.

    • Choose Feature, Community Story, Explainer, Analysis, or another accurate content label.
    • Write the source note before the headline becomes final.
    • Keep unsupported claims out of the deck, captions, Open Graph text, and social copy.
    • Use placeholder-safe media until image rights, alt text, and credit lines are approved.

    Rights and privacy gates

    Protect people, creators, and communities before the draft can move toward public indexing.

    • Confirm permission for quotes, screenshots, documents, images, audio, and video.
    • Remove private personal information unless there is owner-approved public-interest reason.
    • Avoid naming minors or private people without explicit review.
    • Document cultural context and consent limits near the material they affect.

    Ready-to-index decision

    Only move a draft into the public story model when the owner can approve the full publication packet.

    • Source packet, author, dates, metadata, rights, privacy, and correction route are complete.
    • No placeholder, demo, or review-pending language remains in the article body.
    • Sitemap, Explore, Source Index, homepage shelves, and category rails are enabled only after approval.
    • No ad placeholders are added to sensitive pilot material unless CUPREV approves the surface.
