JumpLinks Flow – Editorial Review & Content Approval Workflow

Flow helps teams review, comment on, and approve content in WordPress before it goes live, without complex setup or heavyweight workflow tools.

If your current process depends on long comment threads, scattered docs, or complex workflow setup, Flow gives you a cleaner path from draft to approved.

How it works

  1. The author assigns a reviewer to the draft.
  2. The reviewer opens the review page and leaves inline comments in context.
  3. The reviewer requests changes or approves the content.
  4. The author publishes with confidence once the review is approved.

Best for

  • Content teams that need a clear draft-to-approval path
  • Agencies and freelance developers showcasing in-progress pages or posts to clients for feedback and signoff
  • Marketing teams shipping frequent updates across multiple content types
  • Editorial teams that want structure without heavy workflow configuration

Why teams choose Flow

  • Inline comments in context: Leave feedback exactly where it matters so edits are clearer and faster.
  • Simple review and approval workflow: Move content through practical statuses such as pending, in review, changes requested, and approved.
  • Familiar Gutenberg-style review page: Dedicated review UI that feels native to WordPress.
  • Fast team onboarding: Minimal setup and intuitive UI for writers, editors, and reviewers.
  • Status change email notifications: Keep everyone aligned with timely workflow updates.
  • Lightweight by design: Built with native WordPress APIs and WordPress UI libraries.

Built for your content stack

  • Editor support: Works with Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, and Bricks Builder workflows.
  • Content type flexibility: Use Flow for posts, pages, products, and custom post types.
  • WooCommerce friendly: Works smoothly with WooCommerce-based editorial setups.

What makes Flow different

Many editorial workflow plugins optimize for maximum configuration. Flow optimizes for publishing momentum.

You get a clear approval process and contextual collaboration without overwhelming your team with complexity.

If you want an editorial workflow that is modern, focused, and easy to use from day one, Flow is built for you.

Development

Where is the JavaScript and CSS source?

Human-editable source for the compiled assets in build/ lives in the src/ directory. Files under build/ are generated by webpack; edit src/ instead of hand-editing build/.

How do I rebuild the compiled assets?

From the plugin directory, with a supported Node.js release:

  1. Run npm install or npm ci to install dependencies.
  2. Run npm run build to regenerate webpack output.

Third-party JavaScript

Packages such as @wordpress/scripts and @wordpress/icons are declared in package.json. After npm install, see each package under node_modules/ for license text, or refer to the upstream WordPress repositories.

External services

This plugin loads avatar images from Gravatar (operated by Automattic), which is a third-party service.

  • What is sent: an MD5 hash of the user’s email address, generated by WordPress core via get_avatar_url(). No raw email address leaves the site.
  • When: whenever the plugin renders a comment author avatar (review page comment cards, inline comment threads) or a reviewer/requester avatar (REST responses for the review sidebar and Bricks/Elementor drawers).
  • Why: to display each commenter’s avatar next to their comment, matching the rest of the WordPress avatar experience.
  • Service URL: https://gravatar.com/
  • Terms: https://automattic.com/terms/
  • Privacy: https://automattic.com/privacy/

This is the same Gravatar integration that ships with WordPress core; the plugin does not contact any other external services.
