# Publishing: Auto-Publish or Review Drafts Before They Go Live

> Turn auto-publish on to send each scheduled article to your domain automatically, or leave it off to review every article as a draft and publish when you're ready.

SEOPilot writes an article for your site every day and delivers it to your own domain. A single **Auto-publish** toggle controls what happens after each scheduled article is generated — publish it automatically, or hold it as a draft for you to review first.

## Auto-publish on

With auto-publish on, SEOPilot handles everything from keyword research to publishing without requiring any action from you. Each day, a freshly drafted, SEO-structured article is generated and delivered to your site automatically.

This is the right choice if you want SEO running in the background while you focus on everything else. There are no approvals to give and no articles to push — just consistent, daily content hitting your domain.

## Auto-publish off (review drafts)

With auto-publish off, every scheduled article is saved as a **draft** in your dashboard instead of going live. You open it, read it, and decide what happens next:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Publish as-is">
    If the draft looks great, click **Publish** and it's delivered to your domain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit before publishing">
    Open the built-in editor to adjust the title, meta description, body copy, or slug — then publish the updated version.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Leave it as a draft">
    Not the right topic? Just leave it unpublished. Drafts never go live until you publish them, and SEOPilot keeps generating the next article on schedule.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Reviewing drafts is ideal for teams with brand guidelines to uphold, founders who want a final read before anything goes live, or anyone publishing in a regulated or sensitive industry.

<Note>
  Articles you generate manually (outside the daily schedule) are always saved as drafts, regardless of the auto-publish setting — so you can always generate and review on demand.
</Note>

## Changing the setting

Toggle **Auto-publish** at any time from **Settings → Publishing**. The change takes effect for the next scheduled article.

## Where articles are published

Every article SEOPilot writes is delivered to your domain — not hosted on SEOPilot's servers. You own all the content and all the SEO authority that builds over time. SEOPilot never takes credit for your rankings.

You can connect your domain using:

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Webhook" icon="webhook" href="/docs/integrations/webhook">
    SEOPilot pushes each article to a URL you control the moment it's published — wire it into your CMS, static site generator, or custom publishing pipeline.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

You can also download articles as [MDX or CSV](/docs/integrations/mdx-csv-export) and import them manually.

<Note>
  You retain full control after publishing. You can edit the content, update the meta description, or unpublish any article from your SEOPilot dashboard at any time.
