* Use the content moderation workflow (Draft > Published) to ensure proper review.

### Keep Content Consistent

* Follow your organization's style guide for tone, formatting, and terminology.
* Use consistent heading levels (H2 for main sections, H3 for subsections).
* Apply consistent formatting across similar content types.

### Optimize for Performance

* Compress images before uploading to reduce page load times.
* Use responsive images and appropriate image styles.
* Avoid embedding unnecessary scripts or heavy media on every page.

### Collaborate with Your Team

* Use revision log messages to communicate with other editors about changes.
* Coordinate content updates to avoid conflicting edits.
* Reach out to your development team for technical issues or custom requirements.

### Stay Organized

* Use meaningful titles and descriptive file names for content and media.
* Apply taxonomy terms consistently for proper categorization.
* Keep menus and navigation structures logical and up to date.
* Archive outdated content instead of leaving it published.
