# Feature Document: Draft/Publish System for Insertr CMS
## Overview
This document outlines the design and implementation plan for adding draft/publish functionality to Insertr CMS. Currently, all content changes are immediately reflected when enhancement is triggered manually. This feature will introduce a proper editorial workflow with draft states and controlled publishing.
## Problem Statement
### Current State
- All content stored in database is immediately available for enhancement
- Manual "Enhance" button triggers immediate file updates with latest content
- No separation between working drafts and production-ready content
- Not suitable for production environments where editorial approval is needed
### User Pain Points
- Editors cannot safely make changes without affecting live site
- No preview workflow for reviewing changes before going live
- All-or-nothing manual enhancement process
- No rollback mechanism for published content
## Industry Research: How Other CMS Handle Drafts
### WordPress
**Approach**: Single table (`wp_posts`) with state field (`post_status`)
**States**: draft, pending, publish, future, private, trash, auto-draft
**Storage**: All content in one table, differentiated by status field
**Pros**: Simple schema, easy queries, unified storage
**Cons**: No separation between draft and live data, potential performance issues
### Drupal
**Approach**: Content moderation module with workflow states
**States**: Configurable (draft, needs_review, published, archived, etc.)
**Storage**: Moderation state entities linked to content revisions
**Pros**: Flexible workflows, proper revision tracking, role-based transitions
**Cons**: Complex architecture, steep learning curve
### Contentful (Headless)
**Approach**: Separate published/draft versions with sync API
**States**: draft, published, changed, archived
**Storage**: Maintains both draft and published versions simultaneously
**Pros**: Performance optimized, global CDN delivery, precise change tracking
**Cons**: Complex API, higher storage overhead, sync complexity
### Ghost
**Approach**: Single table with status field plus scheduled publishing
**States**: draft, published, scheduled, sent
**Storage**: Uses `status` field + `published_at` timestamp
**Pros**: Simple but effective, good scheduling support
**Cons**: Limited editorial workflow, no approval processes
### Strapi
**Approach**: Draft & Publish feature with timestamp-based differentiation
**States**: draft, published
**Storage**: Single table with `published_at` field (null = draft)
**Pros**: Clean API separation, optional feature, good performance
**Cons**: Limited workflow states, manual schema management
## Requirements
### Functional Requirements
- **FR1**: Editors can save draft content without affecting published site
- **FR2**: Editors can preview changes before publishing
- **FR3**: Authorized users can publish draft content to live site
- **FR4**: System supports rollback to previous published versions
- **FR5**: Clear visual indication of draft vs published state
- **FR6**: Auto-save functionality to prevent content loss
### Non-Functional Requirements
- **NFR1**: Backward compatibility with existing content
- **NFR2**: Minimal performance impact on content editing
- **NFR3**: Support for concurrent editing workflows
- **NFR4**: Audit trail for all publishing actions
## Recommended Solution: State-Based Approach
Based on industry research and our existing architecture, we recommend following the **WordPress/Ghost pattern** with a state field approach. This provides the best balance of simplicity, performance, and functionality.
### Schema Changes
**Core Change**: Add state tracking to existing `content_versions` table:
```sql
-- Add state column to existing content_versions table
ALTER TABLE content_versions ADD COLUMN state TEXT DEFAULT 'history' NOT NULL
CHECK (state IN ('history', 'draft', 'live'));
-- Create index for efficient state-based queries
CREATE INDEX idx_content_versions_state ON content_versions(content_id, site_id, state);
-- Ensure only one draft and one live version per content item
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_content_versions_unique_draft
ON content_versions(content_id, site_id) WHERE state = 'draft';
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_content_versions_unique_live
ON content_versions(content_id, site_id) WHERE state = 'live';
```
**Migration Strategy**:
1. All existing `content_versions` entries become `state='history'`
2. Current `content` table entries migrate to `content_versions` with `state='live'`
3. Drop `content` table after migration (everything now in `content_versions`)
### Content States
| State | Description | Query Pattern |
|-------|-------------|---------------|
| `history` | Previous versions, for rollback | `WHERE state = 'history' ORDER BY created_at DESC` |
| `draft` | Current working version, not published | `WHERE state = 'draft'` |
| `live` | Currently published version | `WHERE state = 'live'` |
### Workflow Logic
**Auto-save Process**:
1. User edits content → Auto-save creates/updates `state='draft'` version
2. Only one draft version exists per content item (upsert pattern)
3. Previous draft becomes `state='history'`
**Publishing Process**:
1. User clicks "Publish" → Current draft version updated to `state='live'`
2. Previous live version becomes `state='history'`
3. Enhancement triggered with all `state='live'` content
**Rollback Process**:
1. User selects historical version → Copy to new `state='live'` version
2. Previous live version becomes `state='history'`
3. Enhancement triggered
### API Design
**New Endpoints**:
```
GET /api/content/{id}?state=draft|live|history # Get content in specific state
POST /api/content/{id}/save-draft # Save as draft (auto-save)
POST /api/content/{id}/publish # Publish draft to live
POST /api/content/{id}/rollback/{version_id} # Rollback to specific version
GET /api/content/{id}/diff # Compare draft vs live
POST /api/enhancement/preview # Preview site with draft content
GET /api/status/changes # List all unpublished changes
POST /api/content/bulk-publish # Publish multiple items
```
**Enhanced Endpoints**:
```
PUT /api/content/{id} # Now saves as draft by default
POST /api/enhancement # Only processes 'live' content
```
### Repository Layer Changes
**Core Queries**:
```go
// Get current live content for enhancement
func (r *Repository) GetLiveContent(siteID, contentID string) (*Content, error) {
return r.queryContent(siteID, contentID, "live")
}
// Get current draft for editing
func (r *Repository) GetDraftContent(siteID, contentID string) (*Content, error) {
return r.queryContent(siteID, contentID, "draft")
}
// Save as draft (upsert pattern)
func (r *Repository) SaveDraft(content *Content) error {
// Mark existing draft as history
r.updateState(content.ID, content.SiteID, "draft", "history")
// Insert new draft
return r.insertContentVersion(content, "draft")
}
// Publish draft to live
func (r *Repository) PublishDraft(siteID, contentID, publishedBy string) error {
// Mark existing live as history
r.updateState(contentID, siteID, "live", "history")
// Update draft to live
return r.updateState(contentID, siteID, "draft", "live")
}
```
## Strengths of This Approach
### 1. **Simplicity**
- Single table with state field (WordPress/Ghost pattern)
- Minimal schema changes to existing system
- Easy to understand and maintain
### 2. **Performance**
- Efficient state-based queries with proper indexing
- No complex joins between draft/live tables
- Leverages existing version history system
### 3. **Backward Compatibility**
- Existing content migrates cleanly to 'live' state
- Current APIs work with minimal changes
- Gradual rollout possible
### 4. **Storage Efficiency**
- No duplicate content storage (unlike Contentful approach)
- Reuses existing version infrastructure
- History naturally maintained
### 5. **Query Simplicity**
```sql
-- Get all draft content for a site
SELECT * FROM content_versions WHERE site_id = ? AND state = 'draft';
-- Get all live content for enhancement
SELECT * FROM content_versions WHERE site_id = ? AND state = 'live';
-- Check if content has unpublished changes
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM content_versions
WHERE content_id = ? AND site_id = ? AND state = 'draft';
```
## Weaknesses and Potential Roadblocks
### 1. **State Management Complexity**
**Risk**: Ensuring state transitions are atomic and consistent
**Mitigation**:
- Use database transactions for state changes
- Implement state validation triggers
- Add comprehensive error handling
### 2. **Concurrent Editing Conflicts**
**Risk**: Multiple editors creating conflicting draft versions
**Mitigation**:
- Unique constraints prevent multiple drafts
- Last-writer-wins with conflict detection
- Consider optimistic locking for future enhancement
### 3. **Auto-save Performance**
**Risk**: Frequent auto-save creating too many history versions
**Mitigation**:
- Implement debounced auto-save (30-second intervals)
- Consider version consolidation for excessive history
- Monitor database growth patterns
### 4. **Migration Risk**
**Risk**: Data loss or corruption during content table migration
**Mitigation**:
- Comprehensive backup before migration
- Gradual migration with validation steps
- Rollback plan if migration fails
### 5. **Limited Workflow States**
**Risk**: Only 3 states may be insufficient for complex editorial workflows
**Mitigation**:
- Start simple, extend states later if needed
- Most CMS start with basic draft/live model
- Consider "scheduled" state for future enhancement
## UI/UX Changes
### Control Panel Updates
- Replace "🔄 Enhance" with "💾 Save Draft" / "🚀 Publish"
- Add state indicators: 🟡 Draft Pending, 🟢 Published, 🔴 Error
- Add "👁️ Preview Changes" button for draft enhancement
- Show "📊 Publishing Status" with count of unpublished changes
### New UI Components

---
## 🚀 **Priority Roadmap**
### **🔴 Phase 1: Editor Integration Polish** (High Priority)
#### **Frontend-Backend Integration**
- [x] **Editor-API Connection**: StyleAware editor saves successfully to HTTP API
- [ ] **Error Handling**: Proper error states, loading indicators, offline handling
- [ ] **Content Validation**: Client-side validation before API calls
- [ ] **Save Feedback**: Professional save/error feedback in editor interface
#### **User Experience Enhancements**
- [ ] **Draft Auto-Save**: LocalStorage drafts during editing with recovery
- [ ] **Optimistic Updates**: Immediate UI feedback, background sync
- [ ] **Conflict Resolution**: Handle concurrent editing scenarios
- [ ] **Editor Performance**: Optimize style detection for large pages
### **🟡 Phase 2: Production Deployment** (Medium Priority)
#### **Production Workflows**
- [ ] **CI/CD Integration**: GitHub Actions templates for static site generators
- [ ] **Deployment Examples**: Netlify, Vercel, CloudFlare Pages integration guides
- [ ] **CDN Configuration**: Library asset hosting and optimization
- [ ] **Database Migrations**: Schema versioning and update strategies
#### **Enterprise Features**
- [ ] **Multi-Site API**: Single server managing multiple site content
- [ ] **User Management**: Role-based access control and permissions
- [ ] **Content Approval**: Editorial workflows and publishing controls
- [ ] **Performance Monitoring**: Analytics and optimization tools
### **✅ Phase 3: Container Expansion Intelligence** (Complete)
#### **Element Classification and Boundaries**
- [x] **HTML Semantics Approach**: Use HTML tag semantics for block vs inline detection
- [x] **Framework Agnostic Processing**: No special framework container detection
- [x] **Boundary Rules**: Only `.insertr` elements are boundaries, traverse all other containers
- [x] **Block/Inline Classification**: Clear rules for when elements get `.insertr` vs formatting
#### **Implementation Status**
- [x] **Backend Container Transformation**: Implemented syntactic sugar transformation in `internal/engine/engine.go`
- [x] **Frontend Container Logic Removal**: Cleaned up `lib/src/core/insertr.js` - frontend finds enhanced elements only
- [x] **Backend Viable Children**: Updated `internal/engine/utils.go` with comprehensive block/inline logic
- [x] **Recursive Traversal**: Deep nesting support with proper boundary respect implemented
- [x] **CLASSES.md Compliance**: Container expansion now follows specification exactly
#### **Complex Element Handling** (Deferred)
- [ ] **Table Editing**: Complex hierarchy needs separate planning for `<table>`, `<tr>`, `<td>` elements
- Tables have nested semantic structure that doesn't fit simple block/inline model
- Need to determine: Should individual cells be editable? Entire table? Row-level?
- Consider: Table headers, captions, complex layouts, accessibility concerns
- [ ] **Form Element Editing**: Interactive form controls need specialized editors
- `<input>` fields: Different types need different editing interfaces (text, email, etc.)
- `<textarea>`: Should get rich text editing or preserve plain text?
- `<select>` options: Need dynamic option management interface
- `<form>` containers: Validation rules, action URLs, method selection
- Consider: Form submission handling, validation, accessibility
- [ ] **Self-Closing Element Management**: Media and input elements
- `<img>`: Alt text, src, responsive image sets, lazy loading
- `<video>/<audio>`: Multiple sources, controls, accessibility features
- `<input>`: Type-specific validation, placeholder text, required fields
### **🟢 Phase 4: Advanced CMS Features** (Low Priority)
#### **Content Management Enhancements**
- [ ] **Media Management**: Image upload, asset management, optimization
- [ ] **Content Templates**: Reusable content blocks and page templates
- [ ] **Search and Filtering**: Content discovery and organization tools
- [ ] **Import/Export**: Bulk content operations and migration tools
#### **Developer Experience**
- [ ] **Plugin System**: Extensible content types and field configurations
- [ ] **Testing Framework**: Automated testing for content workflows
- [ ] **Documentation Site**: Interactive documentation with live examples
- [ ] **Performance Profiling**: Development tools and optimization guides
---
## 🌐 **Future Features** (Planned)
### **Production Static Site Hosting**
**Goal**: Extend current development multi-site server to production static site hosting
**Current State**: Development server hosts enhanced demo sites at `/sites/{site_id}/` for testing convenience.
**Future Enhancement**: Production-ready static site hosting with content management.
#### **Proposed Production Static Site Server**
- **Use Case**: Small to medium sites that want unified hosting + content management
- **Alternative to**: Netlify CMS + hosting, Forestry + Vercel, etc.
- **Benefit**: Single server handles both static hosting AND content API
#### **Architecture**: Static file serving WITHOUT enhancement
- **Static Serving**: Serve pre-enhanced files efficiently (like nginx/Apache)
- **Content API**: Separate `/api/*` endpoints for content management
- **Build Triggers**: Content changes trigger static site rebuilds
- **Multi-Tenant**: Multiple sites with custom domains
#### **Configuration Example**
```yaml
# insertr.yaml (future production mode)
server:
mode: "production"
sites:
- site_id: "mysite"
domain: "mysite.com"
path: "/var/www/mysite" # Pre-enhanced static files
ssl_cert: "/etc/ssl/mysite.pem"
rebuild_command: "hugo && insertr enhance ./public --output /var/www/mysite"
- site_id: "blog"
domain: "blog.example.com"
path: "/var/www/blog"
rebuild_command: "npm run build"
```
#### **Implementation Plan**
- [ ] **Static File Server**: Efficient static file serving (no enhancement)
- [ ] **Domain Routing**: Route custom domains to appropriate site directories
- [ ] **SSL/TLS Support**: Automatic certificate management (Let's Encrypt)
- [ ] **Build Triggers**: Webhook system to trigger site rebuilds after content changes
- [ ] **Performance**: CDN integration, compression, caching headers
- [ ] **Monitoring**: Site uptime, performance metrics, error logging
**Priority**: Low - implement after core content management features are stable
### **Advanced Style Preview System**
**Current State**: Basic style button previews using `getComputedStyle()` to show formatting effects.
#### **Future Style Preview Enhancements**
- [ ] **Enhanced Style Support**: Background colors, borders, typography with safety constraints
- [ ] **Interactive Previews**: Hover effects, animations, responsive previews
- [ ] **Custom Style Creation**: Visual style picker with live preview
- [ ] **Style Inheritance Display**: Show which properties come from which CSS classes
- [ ] **Accessibility Validation**: Ensure previews meet contrast and readability standards
### **Advanced Access Control**
**Current State**: Simple boolean authentication gate for page-level editing access.
**Future Enhancement**: Role-based access control and section-level permissions for enterprise applications.
#### **Potential Extended Gate Classes**
```html
<!-- Current: Simple page-level auth -->
<div class="insertr-gate"></div>
<!-- Future: Role-based section permissions -->
<div class="admin-content insertr-gate-admin">
<div class="insertr-add">Admin-only dynamic content</div>
</div>
<div class="editor-section insertr-gate-editor">
<div class="insertr-content">Editor-level rich content</div>
</div>
```
#### **Enterprise Use Cases**
- **Multi-tenant Applications**: Different organizations editing separate content areas
- **Editorial Workflows**: Writers, editors, and admins with different capabilities
- **Subscription Content**: Different content areas for different subscription tiers
- **Department Permissions**: Marketing vs Engineering vs Sales content areas
**Priority**: Low - implement after core functionality is stable and enterprise customers request advanced permissions.
