Content matrix planning

Plan multi-platform content and publishing cadence in NetTree Content Matrix linked to content publish workflows.

Content matrix planning

The content matrix link building feature plans what to publish across owned channels — then pushes items into content publish workflow with drafts and progress tracking.

Who this is for

Teams running a multi-platform content plan SEO cadence (Tumblr, GitHub, Medium, etc.) who want structure without losing manual publish control.

What you will learn

  • Where matrix lives in the app
  • Generate plan from site profile
  • Draft, publish, and record channels
  • Export and print views

Where to open matrix

EntryPathNotes
Content publish hub/app/workflows/content-publish?site={id}Primary entry; site filter
Site shortcut/app/sites/[id]/content-matrixRedirects to content publish with site
Per-channel matrix/app/workflows/content-publish/[queueId]/matrixPlan for one platform queue row
Export.../matrix/exportMarkdown download
Print.../matrix/printPrint-friendly view

There is no separate top-level matrix app — matrix is integrated into content publish.

Generate a plan

From a content-publish queue item’s matrix panel:

  1. Open channel row → Matrix
  2. Generate plan from site profile + platform playbook profile
  3. Review plan items (titles, formats, platform fit weights)

Generation uses AI draft quota. Regenerate sparingly after editing site profile.

Plan items

Each plan item represents one publishable unit:

  • Title and format notes (short post vs long article vs README)
  • Platform assignment within the channel
  • Status: planned → drafted → published

Items can link to contentmatrixplanitems records and ownedchannels.matrixplanitem_id for traceability.

Draft and publish loop

flowchart LR
  M[Matrix plan item] --> D[Generate item draft]
  D --> P[Publish on platform]
  P --> R[Record owned channel]
  R --> V[Verification]
  V --> T[Tracker Live]
  1. Generate item draft — format-aware body from matrix context
  2. Deep link — open content publish queue with planItemId context
  3. Human publish on third-party platform
  4. Record channel — public URL → backlink + verify
  5. Matrix progress bar updates on site overview

See Content publish workflow.

Progress tracking

  • Site overview — ContentMatrixProgressBar on /app/sites/[id]
  • Channel matrix panel — item-level completion counts
  • Task Center — publishmatrixitem daily task (+20 points)

Progress reflects recorded publishes — not draft-only work.

Export and print

  • Export markdown — download plan + drafts for offline editing
  • Print view — clean layout for team review meetings

Exports are snapshots; live plan state remains in NetTree.

Common questions

Matrix vs single post draft? Matrix plans cadence across many items; workflow draft is one submit session.

Competitor gap keywords in matrix? Site keyword/gap research can inform generated titles when configured in generator inputs.

Failed verification after matrix publish? Use Tracker Recheck; matrix item may stay “published” while Link shows Checking.
