Pre-publishing checklist

Here are some key steps and considerations to tick off before your Shorthand story is exported or published:

  • You have signed up to a Shorthand subscription

  • Theme approved (if included in your subscription)

  • Portrait image alternatives added or focus points set as necessary to Title, Text Over Media, Reveal and Background Scrollmation

  • Checked mobile and tablet view of content (in particular use preview to check image crops, text sizes and nav structure across screens)

  • Pull-quotes and headers used where appropriate for added impact

  • Any custom coding finished and tested

  • Settings fields completed where necessary, including page metadata , Google Analytics and social sharing buttons

  • Navigation added (how-to guide)

  • Checked performance (particularly video sizes)

  • Link added to logo (including http:// or https://)

  • Logical flow and clear, engaging structure

  • Prompt for continued engagement at end. e.g CTA, further sharing or use of a Collection Section

  • Publishing process understood and chosen (publishing options)
