SleekView Kanban for KB Suite Pro
SleekView reads the kbsuite_article post type with its review_status taxonomy and joins author plus category data, then renders one card per article grouped by stage so editors drag from Draft through In review and Published to Archived in one place.

Knowledge bases need an editorial pipeline
KB Suite stores every article as a kbsuite_article post with the standard post_status field for publish state plus a custom review_status taxonomy used for the editorial workflow. Categories live on kbsuite_category, author sits in postmeta, and feedback counts come from wp_kbsuite_feedback. The default All Articles screen is a flat table with a category filter and no view of the editorial pipeline.
SleekView reads kbsuite_article posts and joins the review_status taxonomy, the category terms, and the feedback aggregate so a card knows its stage, its owner, and its helpful-vote count. The natural grouping field is review_status, the column editors already use to coordinate who is writing or reviewing. Cards show article title, author, category, last-edit date, and a helpful-vote badge.
Dragging a card from Draft to In review writes the new review_status term through the plugin's REST endpoint and triggers kbsuite_review_status_changed, the reviewer-assignment email, and the audit log entry. Publish dragging from In review to Published also calls wp_publish_post, no extra step needed.

- Helpful-vote feedback hides behind the analytics tab on each article view
- Reviewer assignment is a custom field, not a sort or filter on the main list
- Editorial backlog shape is invisible without a custom report or CSV export

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for KB Suite Pro
Drag drafts through review to live
Move an article from Draft to In review and SleekView writes the stage through KB Suite's REST endpoint. A drag into Published also calls wp_publish_post so the article reaches the public KB the moment the editor approves it on the board.
Reviewer load at a glance
Switch the grouping field from review_status to reviewer to see per-editor backlog. Reassign by dragging cards into a quieter column, then flip back to the stage view to confirm the In review queue still moves through to Published this week.
Helpful votes inform priority
Card fronts show the feedback score so editors prioritize articles that already get traffic but rate poorly. Draft updates target high-vote articles first, archive candidates surface from the long tail of low-feedback Published items quickly.
Audience
Who uses SleekView Kanban for KB Suite
Technical writers on rotation
Start in Draft, drag to In review when the article is ready, reorder cards within the column to signal priority. The board shows what is in flight without checking the Slack thread or the writer schedule each morning.
Editorial managers
Group by reviewer to balance load. Drag Mia's stale review into David's column to unblock the publish queue, then flip back to stage view to confirm In review is clearing fast enough for the cadence.
Support leads tracking KB gaps
Filter the board to articles linked from recent tickets and group by stage. Pinpoint the most-requested topics still sitting in Draft and escalate them with one drag into In review for the writer on rota.
The bigger picture
Why editorial work fits kanban over a list
A knowledge base lives or dies by how fast articles move from draft to live. KB Suite tracks editorial stage through the review_status taxonomy, but the default Articles screen treats every article the same: a flat list sorted by date, mixing fresh drafts with five-year-old archive candidates. Editors lose the shape of the pipeline.
Writers cannot see which review they should chase, managers cannot see whether In review is clearing, support leads cannot tell whether requested topics are stuck or moving. A kanban grouped by review_status reads like the editorial calendar the team already keeps in their head. Draft on the left, In review in the middle, Published and Archived on the right, each column counting its articles so a glance answers the question of whether to write more drafts or push the queue to publish.
The board does not replace the article edit screen, it sits next to it.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for KB Suite Pro
SleekView groups by the review_status taxonomy, the same field KB Suite uses for the editorial workflow. You can also group by author, by category, or by assigned reviewer to switch between an editorial view and a per-person workload view.
 Yes. When the target stage is Published, SleekView calls wp_publish_post in addition to writing the review_status term, so the article hits the public KB the moment the editor approves it on the board, without a second click in the editor.
 Yes. The feedback score from wp_kbsuite_feedback renders as a numeric badge on the card. Sort within a column by feedback descending and the highest-rated drafts or lowest-rated published articles float to the top of the relevant column quickly.
 Because SleekView writes through KB Suite's REST endpoint, the audit log records the editor who dragged the card, the source stage, the target stage, and the timestamp. The audit trail matches what the article edit screen produces for a manual change.
 Yes. Writers load a board grouped by review_status filtered to their own author meta. Managers load a board grouped by reviewer to balance load. The underlying kbsuite_article dataset is shared so changes from one view appear instantly in the other.
 Yes. Filter the board by kbsuite_category to focus on one product area, save the filter as a named board, and reload it next week. Each board keeps its columns, filters, card fields, and color palette so the editorial workflow stays consistent.
 Yes. Select multiple cards in the Published column, drag them in one motion to the Archived column, and SleekView writes the review_status change through the REST endpoint for every selected article. The audit log records each change individually.
 SleekView polls for changes at a configurable interval, defaulting to thirty seconds. Updated drafts appear with a brief highlight on their card, last-edit dates refresh, and the column counts update so the manager sees the pipeline move.
