Collaborate across teams
With shared workspaces, teams can manage their own pipelines while staying aligned with company-wide strategy, ensuring every project stays on schedule.
A Kanban board built for editorial teams
Every article lives on a card. Every card has a stage, an owner, and a due date. Team leads see the full content pipeline and writers see their deadlines, streamlining the entire content process.


See everything at a glance
Every article in your workspace shows up with its title, target keyword, generation type, editorial status, folder, assignee, and timestamps in one view. Filter by content status or folder, and search by keyword without opening a single article.

Unified content calendar
View your entire month or campaign in one place. The AI blog writer helps you add each blog to the calendar so you can track timelines and publishing schedules effortlessly.
Smooth publishing integration
When content is approved, the tool publishes content directly to WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Ghost, Shopify, or ContentStudio, saving hours of manual uploads and edits.


Role-based collaboration
Assign roles, manage permissions, and let the content planner route content between writers, editors, and approvers, so your workflow runs smoothly without any issues.
Editorial workflows built for your team size
Contentpen supports two editorial workflow modes: simple and approval-based. Choose whichever one supports your needs directly from the content planner tool.

One content planner tool. Every editorial benefit covered.
Contentpen's content planner fits teams at every stage of growth, helping you scale smartly without the stress.
Stop tracking content in spreadsheets
Every article has a status, an owner, and a place in the pipeline. The information that usually lives across tabs, Slack threads, and documents lives in one place instead.
Catch publishing gaps before they cost you traffic
The calendar view makes empty dates visible before they become missed weeks. You plan around gaps to keep your content engine running.
Give editors a clear handoff point
The approval-based workflow creates a powerful edit, update, schedule, and publish loop that helps you move forward with your campaigns without any hurdles.
Color-coded, folder-based task assignment
Organize content into color-coded folders for different campaigns across the workspace. The content planner helps you execute your content clusters with convenience.
Keep every team member on the same page
Writers, editors, and managers see the same content pipeline. Status updates happen in the tool, without ever leaving the platform.

What does a content planner do?
Content planning tools range from basic calendars that let you assign dates to articles, to full pipeline systems that track editorial stages, team assignments, and publishing schedules in one view.
Basic tools, including spreadsheets, standalone calendars, and lightweight schedulers, work for teams with low volume and simple workflows. The limitation is that they do not scale. As article volume grows and more people are involved, keeping a spreadsheet accurate requires effort that should be going into the content itself.
Pipeline-based planning tools like Contentpen are built for teams that publish consistently at volume. They connect content plan to the production workflow so that every article in the planner has a real status that updates as the work moves forward.
How Contentpen compares to other content planning tools
Contentpen's two workflow modes, simple and approval-based, are designed around how content-first teams actually operate rather than generic project management stages. You pick the one that matches your process to see productivity gains in real-time.
