Draft asset boundary
Image Studio drafts should stay separate from approved WordPress Media Library assets until a human reviews quality, rights, product accuracy, brand fit, and placement. Do not import every variation just because it was generated.
Brand and rights review
Review brand kit settings, prompt, source provider, campaign intent, prohibited motifs, product claims, and whether the output could imply a third-party brand, protected design, celebrity likeness, or inaccurate product state. The Image Studio feature page explains the workspace, and the brand kit tutorial shows a controlled first workflow.
Media Library handoff
Approved assets should enter the Media Library with useful filename context, descriptive alt text, rights notes, and intended placement. The Media Library tutorial explains the handoff pattern.
Owner and cadence
- Primary owner: operations lead for the affected workflow, watcher, agent, playbook, or custom tool.
- Review cadence: before first run, after failed runs, after provider changes, and during monthly automation review.
- Escalate when rights, product accuracy, brand compliance, likeness, or intended placement is uncertain.
Production checklist
- Review prompt, brand kit, product accuracy, rights notes, alt text, intended placement, and campaign context before import.
- Keep rejected drafts out of the Media Library and out of production pages.
- Define trigger, owner, input data, output, approval requirement, retry behavior, failure notification, and kill switch before enabling automation.
- Start with read-only runs or staging examples until the team has reviewed successful traces and audit records.
Acceptance checks
- Only approved assets enter the Media Library with human-readable metadata and alt text.
- The asset owner can explain rights, source, prompt intent, and where the image will be used.
- The workflow or agent has a named owner who can pause it and explain its last run.
- Failures produce enough audit, diagnostics, and notification context for another operator to respond.
Common mistakes
- Saving every generated variation to the Media Library without rights, alt text, brand, or placement review.
- Turning a useful prompt into automation before defining trigger, owner, input scope, approval rule, and failure handling.
- Ignoring noisy alerts or failed runs until operators stop trusting the workflow surface.
