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.

SleekView Kanban board for KB Suite Pro

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.

Workflow

From article list to editorial board

1

Connect KB Suite articles

Point SleekView at the kbsuite_article post type. It joins the review_status taxonomy, kbsuite_category terms, author postmeta, and the wp_kbsuite_feedback aggregate, so every signal an editor needs is on the card without a custom query.
2

Pick review_status to group by

Choose review_status as the kanban field and one column appears per stage. Reorder so Draft sits left, In review next, Published, then Archived. Hide stages the board does not need today, and color headers to match KB Suite badges.
3

Choose what shows on each card

Add the editorial fields: article title, author, category, last-edit date, feedback score, and the assigned reviewer. Numeric feedback renders as a badge, dates as relative time, and long category names truncate so columns stay narrow.
4

Enable drag-and-drop stage changes

Switch on writeback and SleekView writes review_status when a card moves. kbsuite_review_status_changed fires, reviewer emails run, the audit log records the editor, and a drag into Published also publishes the post so the public KB updates.

Comparison

Default KB Suite vs SleekView Kanban

Default KB Suite list

  • Articles screen mixes Draft, In review, Published, and Archived in one flat table
  • Stage changes need the article edit screen or a slow bulk action workflow
  • 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

SleekView Kanban

  • Group by review_status for the editorial pipeline view
  • Drag writes through KB Suite's REST endpoint and fires status hooks
  • Cards show author, category, feedback votes, and reviewer assignment
  • Drag into Published auto-publishes the article in the same single action
  • Save per-category boards: WooCommerce, Hosting, Integrations, Migrations

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.
