Daily publishing operations guide
Run a source refresh calendar for outsourced evergreen articles
Schedule evidence checks by volatility and consequence instead of treating every old link as equally urgent.
Classify why a source matters
Mark whether a reference supports a definition, current rule, statistic, product behavior, or general operating principle. This determines what kind of change could damage the article.
Set review triggers
Use fixed reviews for changing material and event triggers for broken links, revised official guidance, product changes, or owner feedback. Stable background pages can follow a lighter cadence.

Inspect the claim with the link
A live URL may no longer support the sentence. Compare the observed material, the article wording, and the date rather than treating a successful request as proof of freshness.
Preserve a replacement trail
Record the former source, replacement, review date, and any wording change. If the evidence weakened, narrow or remove the claim before updating the citation.
Prioritize consequence
Review customer, financial, privacy, employment, and security claims before low-impact examples. Age alone should not determine the queue.
Continue with Approve article calls to action in an outsourced content routine when the workflow reaches review.
Report outcomes clearly
Track sources checked, claims changed, broken links, deferred decisions, and routes held. Do not present a large check count as proof that every conclusion remains correct.
Assign final review
A researcher can run the checks and propose bounded edits. The editor retains approval for changed claims and republication.
