Article settings

Advanced article settings

Use advanced settings when the default article workflow does not capture a real requirement. Change one decision at a time, test it on a representative topic, and save reusable guidance only after the output behaves as expected.

Control the output deliberately

Advanced options can affect research behavior, structure, metadata, formatting, links, citations, and other article fields. More instructions do not automatically produce a better draft. Keep requirements specific, avoid conflicting rules, and separate brand policy from topic-specific facts so the model can apply each piece of context correctly.

  • SEO fields

    Review title and description guidance, heading structure, links, and canonical ownership for the destination page.

  • Research inputs

    Choose the sources and supplied knowledge the article may use, then verify important claims against primary material.

  • Output format

    Set structural preferences only when they help the reader task or the CMS handoff.

Test settings before reusing them

Run a small set of representative topics after changing advanced controls. Compare the drafts with your editorial checklist, not only with each other. Look for repeated phrasing, missing caveats, unsupported facts, awkward formatting, and instructions that work for one article type but fail for another.

  • Change one variable

    Isolate the effect of a setting so you know which instruction improved or damaged the output.

  • Keep a review checklist

    Check accuracy, reader value, voice, structure, links, metadata, media, and publishing fields.

  • Use scoped guidance

    Apply site-wide rules broadly and keep campaign or article-specific instructions close to the work they govern.

Frequently asked questions

Should I change advanced settings for every article?

No. Use defaults until a real requirement calls for a change, then test the smallest adjustment.

Do more instructions improve the draft?

Not necessarily. Specific, compatible instructions are more useful than a long list of rules that compete with each other.
