Which articles can be rewritten
- Failed articles — for example after a failed quality check or a publishing error.
- Rejected articles that had already been written.
- Not possible: a topic you rejected before it was written (that topic is dropped), and articles that are planned, waiting for approval or live.
How to rewrite
Open the article
Go to Autopilot → Articles and open the failed or rejected article.
Click Rewrite
Click Rewrite and confirm.
Wait a few minutes
The autopilot writes the article for the same keyword from scratch and runs the quality check again. In approval mode it then waits for your approval; with autopublish it goes live if it passes.
Rewrites and your monthly allowance
A rewrite counts as one article of your monthly allowance, because it costs the same research and writing as a new one. If the allowance for this month is used up, the rewrite is refused with a clear message and becomes possible again on the 1st.
The old text stays visible until the new one is ready. It cannot be published by accident in between: only articles waiting for approval can be approved.
Questions
Can I rewrite an article that is already live?
Not with Rewrite. You can change its title, slug and meta under Title & meta; approving it again updates the post on your website.
