Copilot: Content and media

Open Copilot in the site admin and describe the result you want. Use the tables below to check the requests in this area, their approval steps and their available Undo.

Checked against the product’s code on 7 November 2026.

Content collections, author bylines and the media library include EmDash’s own content management features. Draft page composition has its own reference in Pages and reusable sections.

Permanent content or media deletion has no automatic Undo. Updating content that changes category or tag assignments can also have no exact automatic Undo. Registering media adds an existing stored file to the media library; it does not upload the file. A suggested catalog tag becomes an approved tag only through the separate approval step.

In the tables, Yes under approval means a separate approval is required before applying the request. Available under Undo means the request can be reversed. The specific receipt must offer Undo; it can be limited by the input, later changes or the state that was saved. No means this request provides no automatic Undo. Reading a fact has nothing to undo.

These are plain-language descriptions of requests, not text you must type exactly. Your role, configured connections and site capabilities determine which requests are available. See How copilot requests are governed.

Author bylines

Updating an author credit pauses at Change this byline? because it can change published posts that use it. Review Save the byline before approval. The change is saved now; the usual visitor-copy delay still applies.

Content and its catalog

For creating and editing a page or post built in Composer, use Pages and sections. Generic content create and update requests cannot save Composer content.

Request	Approval	Undo
Read the content catalog	No	No
Rebuild the content catalog from selected source rules	Yes	Available
Compare a content item’s draft and published version	No	No
Create a draft content item in a collection	No	Available
Discard a content item’s unpublished changes	No	Available
Duplicate a content item as a new draft	No	Available
Suggest catalog tags for content	No	No
Set a content item’s approved catalog tags	Yes	Available
List items in a content collection	No	No
List content in Trash	No	No
Read content performance	No	No
Permanently delete a content item	Yes	No
Publish a content item	Yes	Available
Restore a content item from Trash	Yes	Available
Schedule publication of a content item	Yes	Available
Approve a suggested catalog tag	Yes	Available
Reject a suggested catalog tag	No	No

List a content item’s translations	No	No
Move a content item to Trash	Yes	Available
Unpublish a content item	Yes	Available
Cancel a content item’s publication schedule	Yes	Available
Update a content item	Yes	Available

For pages and posts, scheduling runs the publish check before its approval card, again on approval and again when publication is due. A refusal at the due time removes the schedule and leaves the draft or its changes unpublished. If the check cannot finish, publication waits for another check. See Pages, posts and media.
