Workflow guide

Content tools guide

Use this workflow when you are checking draft length, cleaning pasted text, previewing Markdown, creating image cards, or splitting long copy into smaller pieces.

Data handling: Content tools are designed for browser-side processing. Avoid entering sensitive drafts unless you have reviewed the current implementation and your own publishing policy. Review the data handling guide.

Recommended workflow

Follow the sequence when the task needs more than one tool.

Content cluster map

Use this map to move from the pillar page to focused tools, supporting guides, and future comparison pages.

Pillar page

Free browser tools for writing, editing, and publishing content

Pillar workflow for counting, cleaning, previewing, converting, and turning draft text into publishable assets.

Open pillar

Internal link rules

  • Pillar to tools: Each pillar guide should link 5 to 8 focused tools before broad blog expansion.
  • Tool back to pillar: Priority tool pages should point users back to the relevant guide, workflow, docs, or pillar article.
  • Guide focus: A supporting guide should primarily serve one main tool and at most two adjacent helper tools.
  • Comparison scope: A comparison page should link the two compared tools and explain the practical difference.
  • Related tools shape: Related tools should cover a previous step, next step, alternative, and advanced path where possible.
  • Chinese cluster fit: Chinese content should be regrouped by Chinese search demand instead of copying English clusters directly.
