Kitepod Staged Edit Approval Workflow (Delivery)

Kitepod Staged Edit Approval Workflow (Delivery)

1. 01

   Open the Kitepod MCP connector in Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor and confirm the client site is listed under connected WordPress installations.

   Verify the connector points to kitepod.com/mcp and that the target site appears with its assigned capped WordPress user role.

2. 02

   In the Kitepod plugin dashboard, navigate to the Staged Edits panel and select the page, post, or builder layout (Elementor, Divi, Bricks) that requires modification.

   Use the search filter to locate the specific content item; confirm the item type matches the requested change (page, WooCommerce product, SEO metadata, code snippet).

3. 03

   Issue the natural-language edit request through the connected AI client, then review the generated preview link and before/after screenshots in the Kitepod Staged Edits queue.

   Check that the preview reflects the intended change and that no unintended elements were altered; the before/after screenshots are generated automatically for each staged edit.

4. 04

   Share the preview link with the client contact via email and request written approval before any publish action.

   Record the approval timestamp and client name in the Kitepod audit trail notes field; do not proceed without explicit confirmation.

5. 05

   After client approval, return to the Kitepod Staged Edits queue and click Publish to apply the change to the live site.

   Confirm that the hash-chained audit trail logs the publish event with the approving user and timestamp.

6. 06

   Verify the live change by re-checking the before/after screenshots and, for WooCommerce or code edits, testing the affected functionality on the front end.

   If any discrepancy appears, use the 90-day undo option in the Kitepod edit history to revert immediately and re-stage the edit.

7. 07

   Log the completed edit in the client's Kitepod activity report, noting the change type, approver, and any follow-up actions.

   Export the audit trail entry for the client's monthly retainer report; this record supports compliance and dispute resolution.
