This is an actual Quill export, with the input brief available alongside it. Use the workflow below to connect source material, structure, editing and delivery.

Pre-Launch Checklist for a New Business Website

Checklist items grouped by phase, each with a priority tag and a way to check it, with links to Google, W3C and FTC guidance for the search, accessibility and security items.

Inspect the source brief or data

Write an actionable checklist for a small business about to launch a new website. Group the items under content, search visibility, accessibility, performance, security and privacy, analytics, and what to verify on launch day. Each item should be a single action someone can tick off and should say how to check it. Cite published guidance for the search, accessibility and security items.

Read the sample review notes

Open the full export and compare its statements with the cited sources before reuse.

Bring useful inputs

Set the reader, purpose, required points, sources and section budgets. Review extracted material from an upload, paste or URL before using it as grounding.

Shape and refine

Review the outline, then the draft. Add structured blocks, edit selected passages and use Image Studio for permitted generation, photo selection and responsive insertion; retain attribution where required.

Choose the delivery path

Review citations, wording and metadata. Use the supported export or connected destination for the current account; Markdown handoff and a live publishing connection are different delivery paths.

Selected-text editing and structured blocks

Power Edit starts from an active selection. You can give iterative or voice-transcribed instructions, choose a reply language, stop a streamed response, inspect the result and explicitly replace the selected range. Full-document context is reference material. Structured blocks have typed fields, item-level regeneration and previews; their AI field assistance is separate from their layout.

Image Studio and image revision

Use builder or advanced prompts with the subject and document context. Shape style, mood, lighting, palette, composition, camera and supported image dimensions. Inspect generated alternatives or a selected real photo, retain required source attribution and edit alternative text before insertion. Finishes and prompt edits create a new result; compare it with the original instead of assuming an edit is lossless.

Import, export and delivery settings

Import options depend on the source type: pasted text, Markdown or HTML; document extraction; spreadsheet cells; image OCR; and supported media transcription. Review extracted material before drafting. Export settings include the supported format, theme, author, spacing, headers, footers and page appearance. Inspect the actual download because HTML, print PDF and editable Word represent structure differently.

A source-led draft needs human review. HTML, PDF and editable Word have different layout fidelity; connected publishing support is destination-specific.

Canonical URL Support

Publish to Medium with canonical URLs that identify the original article — review the handoff before making it public

Gixo sends your AI-generated articles to Medium with article HTML or Markdown, supplied tags, and an optional canonical URL. The article form supplies the connection ID; optional publication/canonical URLs are API options, not fields in that form. Review the destination before making the post public.

Draft-First Workflow

The current article form offers only Save draft for an available verified legacy-token Medium connection. Export for Medium is a separate manual handoff. The legacy API adapter also maps PublishNow requests to unlisted posts; that mode is not offered in this article form. Review and publish in Medium.

Formatting Preservation

The delivery adapter sends HTML or the connection’s selected Markdown format. Manual export provides article HTML. Medium controls the resulting presentation; inspect headings, links, images and lists rather than assume an exact copy.

Tag Management

The article publishing form accepts comma-separated tags and sends them with the legacy API request. Choose relevant tags and check Medium’s current destination limits.

Publication Support

The current article form sends a draft to the connected author account. The delivery API also accepts a publication ID when the connected author has the required permission; the current article publishing form does not offer a publication chooser.

Canonical URL

The legacy delivery API accepts an optional canonical URL; the current article form supplies only the connection ID. Set and verify the original URL in the destination when cross-posting. A canonical hint is not a ranking or duplicate-content guarantee.

Content Optimization

Gixo sends a structured, block-based draft rather than plain text, so Medium's editor has headings and sections to work with.

How It Works

Prepare the article, choose the available handoff, and review it in Medium before making it public.

1
Export for Medium

Use Export for Medium to copy article HTML or prepare a public article URL for manual import. A verified legacy-token connection is a separate API route, subject to Medium availability.

2
Generate Content in Gixo

Create articles using Gixo's AI content tools. Write, edit, and refine your piece with inline AI assistance until it matches your voice and standards.

3
Review Draft on Medium

From the current article form, Save draft sends a draft through an available legacy connection. Inspect formatting, tags and visibility in Medium. Manual export requires you to paste or import the article. The legacy API’s unlisted mode is separate from this form.

4
Publish When Ready

Hit publish on Medium when you are satisfied with the draft. Confirm tags, original/canonical URL, images and formatting in Medium before making the post public.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect my Medium account to Gixo?
If you have a usable legacy Medium integration token, add and verify the connection in Settings. Medium’s current API and account availability determine whether delivery works. Export for Medium provides a manual HTML handoff without that connection.
Does Gixo publish directly or as a draft?
The current article form offers only Save draft for Medium. The legacy API adapter maps SaveDraft to draft and PublishNow to unlisted, but PublishNow is not offered in this article form. Export for Medium is a separate manual HTML handoff. Review the result and publish in Medium.
Are images included when sending to Medium?
Article HTML keeps referenced image URLs, and the legacy delivery adapter makes app-relative URLs absolute before sending. That does not prove Medium can fetch or display every image. Check image access and the destination preview.
Can I publish to a Medium publication?
The delivery API accepts a publication ID, subject to the connected author’s Medium permissions. The current article publishing form sends to the connected author account and does not list publications to choose from. Review and make the post public in Medium.
Does Gixo support canonical URLs on Medium?
The legacy delivery API accepts an optional canonical URL, but the current article publishing form only supplies the connection ID. Set and verify the original URL in Medium when cross-posting. Canonical hints do not guarantee search engines choose that URL or prevent duplicate-content problems.
Is formatting preserved on Medium?
The legacy adapter sends article HTML or the connection’s selected Markdown format; manual export provides HTML. Medium controls final rendering. Inspect headings, lists, tables, links and images before making the post public.
