📄 Why Articles Appear as Not Begun

When you create articles from scratch in Content Genius, they start with a Not Begun status. This means the system has created the article structure but has not generated any content yet. You need to manually trigger content generation for these articles.

🤖 Generate Content with AI or DKN

To populate Not Begun articles, run the content generation process again using either the AI writing option or the DKN (Domain Knowledge Network) method. Both approaches will create complete articles with full content. The DKN method uses your domain expertise and existing content patterns, while the AI method generates fresh content based on your keywords and topic.

🔄 Re-run Generation for Existing Articles

If you have multiple articles stuck in Not Begun status, you can process them again through the content generation workflow. Select the articles you want to write and choose your preferred generation method. The system will then create complete content for each selected article.

📊 Compare Competitor Pages

To add a competitor page for comparison, use the competitor analysis feature within the content creation workflow. Enter the competitor URL when setting up your article or topical map. The system will analyze their content structure and topics to help guide your own content strategy.

✅ Expected Behavior

Articles created via AI or DKN generation are complete by default. Only articles created manually from scratch start as Not Begun. This is normal platform behavior — simply trigger generation when you are ready to produce content.
