Review and approve
Where drafts wait, everything the review drawer shows you, and what approving, editing, rejecting, holding and retrying each do.
On this page
Every draft waits for a decision. In supervised mode, that decision is always yours; once autopilot is on, high-scoring drafts can decide for themselves after a hold you can stop.
Where drafts wait
The review queue on Overview lists what's waiting on you, in three tabs:
- To review: drafts ready for a decision, each with its quality score.
- Writing: articles being researched and written right now.
- Needs attention: drafts that couldn't be written, each with the reason and a Retry button. The tab only appears when there's something in it.
Search by title, or filter by type: blog articles, comparisons or landing pages. The Library keeps every article Seovyn has written, whatever happened to it, so nothing ever disappears. Filter it by All, Live, In review or Rejected.
The review drawer
Open a draft to read it in the review drawer. Top to bottom:
| Part | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Title and keyword | The article's title (editable) and the search it's built to rank for |
| Quality | The score, its label (strong, good with notes, needs work), the Editor's and the SEO checks' parts, the five judgments, and the Editor's notes. See Quality score |
| On autopilot | While you're in supervised mode: whether autopilot would have published this draft by itself, or why it would have waited for you. See Autopilot |
| SEO checks | Where the focus keyword appears (title, first 100 words, a heading, meta title and description) and how often, the length against what the ranking pages run to, the terms those pages cover, and every check the draft fails |
| Search preview | How the article will look on Google, with the meta title and description and a character count for each |
| Search performance | For live articles: clicks, impressions, click-through rate and position over the last 28 days, from Search Console |
| Research | The brief: what Google shows for the search, the intent, the format, the length and whether it needs an FAQ |
| Article body | The article as it will be published |
| Sources | The pages the writer drew on, to check where a claim came from |
The first time you open a draft, Seovyn offers a 20-second tour of the drawer.
Approve
Approve sends the article to your destination: live or as a draft there, as you set it up. If you pace publishing, it joins the publishing queue on Overview and goes out in turn. See Publishing.
Each approval of an unedited draft counts toward autopilot.
Rewrite one section
Hover over any section of a draft and choose Rewrite. Say what should change, in your own words ("mention the free tier", "cut the second paragraph") or with a one-click suggestion: shorter, more detail, a concrete example, simpler words, the focus keyword worked in, or a list. Seovyn rewrites that section only, in the article's voice and keeping its facts, and shows it beside the original. Keep this saves it; Try again asks once more; Discard leaves the section as it was. Each rewrite uses one from your plan's monthly number: 20 on Free, 200 on Pro, 600 on Scale. See Plans and usage.
Edit
Edit opens the title, the body (in Markdown), and the meta title and description. Save edits keeps your changes. The SEO checks card updates as you type, so you see the keyword count, the length and the failing checks change with each edit.
Reject, and say why
Reject asks what's wrong with it:
| Reason | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Inaccurate | A claim is wrong or unsupported |
| Off-brand | The voice or positioning doesn't sound like you |
| Thin | It lacks depth or specifics |
| Duplicate | It overlaps something you already have |
| Off-topic | It isn't something you want to be known for |
| Bad SEO | The structure or targeting is wrong |
| Other | Anything else |
Add a note if the reason needs one. Rejected articles stay in the Library, and Seovyn learns from them: a source whose drafts you often reject is checked less, for example. A rejection also starts the autopilot count again, and on autopilot it puts you back in supervised mode.
Hold
On autopilot, a draft that will approve itself is marked Scheduled, with the time it auto-approves. Hold stops that one draft without leaving autopilot: it waits for you like any other, marked On hold. A draft autopilot won't approve says why, for example "quality score 72 below the 75 bar".
Retry
A draft that couldn't be written shows why under Needs attention: for example, that the topic isn't for your customers, or that it would be about a real person. Retry writes it anyway. A draft that fails gives its article back to your allowance; a retry uses one again.
Tips
- Check the Research card for anything surprising, especially numbers and quotes, and the Sources list for where they came from.
- Reject with a reason rather than silently fixing, so the same problem doesn't come back.
- Use your first reviews to tune brand voice. Most "off-brand" drafts trace back to one vague field.
- Review often. If a dozen drafts sit for more than ten days, Seovyn pauses new writing until you catch up, so you're never buried.
