Create your first output

An output is a finished piece written from a story: a web article, a short-form video storyboard or a post for X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or LinkedIn. You choose which outputs to make, and each one is written from the story's own enrichment.

You need the Member role or above, and the story must be Enriched.

Before you startCopy Anchor Link

Outputs are written from an output template: the rules for how a piece should read, such as its tone and length. An administrator creates templates under Settings in Output templates. If the picker shows No template yet beside a type, no active template covers this story's newsdesk. An administrator sees a link to Settings there; a Member is asked to request one. See Templates, brand kits and checks for what a template controls.

Create the outputCopy Anchor Link

1. Open your enriched story.
2. In Outputs, choose New output. The picker opens with the templates for this story's desk.
3. Pick a template, or several. Each one becomes its own output and they are written side by side.
4. Choose Generate 1 output, or the matching count if you picked more.

What you should seeCopy Anchor Link

The new output appears in the story's Outputs strip, marked Queued, then Generating, then Ready. The page updates by itself when the writing lands. If an output shows Failed, open it and choose Retry.

Open the output to read it. Edit lets you change the text and Save keeps your edit; Preview shows how it reads. Regenerate writes it again from the story, optionally with a one-off instruction such as "Tighten this to 500 words". Your edits stay until you decide: the new draft arrives alongside the current one, and you choose Keep current or Replace with new draft.

Claim checksCopy Anchor Link

Each output also gets a Claim checks panel. A second reading compares the output with the story's research and lists the claims the output uses that the story marks unverified or contested, and any statement the story does not support. It checks against the story, not against the world, so it never says an output is verified. You can run Check or Check again yourself. An open finding is either fixed by editing the output or accepted with a note explaining why it is fine, and open findings must be dealt with before the article is filed into a content management system.
