Bulk Publishing & Generation

When you're working with more than one article, you don't have to act on them one at a time. RankTurn lets you select many articles and publish them to your connected platforms in a single step, start generation for several series topics together, and generate now for any upcoming series topic shown on a future calendar slot. RankTurn handles all of these in the background, so you can start a batch and keep working.

If you'd rather work one article at a time, see Content Generation, Publishing & Scheduling, and The Content Calendar.

Bulk Publish

From the Articles list, select the articles you want to deliver, then open Bulk Publish. A dialog lets you pick which connected platforms to publish to:

1. Select one or more articles in the list.
2. Open the Bulk Publish dialog.
3. Choose one or more platforms to publish to. (If you haven't connected any platforms yet, the dialog points you to Settings → Integrations instead.)
4. Confirm. RankTurn lines up a delivery for each selected article on each selected platform.

Which articles are eligible. Only articles that already have written content and aren't published yet will be sent — the same rule as the publish button on each row. Any selected article that's still empty or already published is skipped.

What you'll see. After you confirm, RankTurn tells you how many articles were lined up and across how many platforms. If some of your selection didn't qualify, you'll also see a skipped count, so you know exactly how many were left out. Because delivery happens in the background, the dialog reports how many items were lined up rather than a platform-by-platform result. Those per-platform results appear afterward in each article's publishing status.

Bulk Generation

You can generate several articles at once instead of starting them one by one. There are two ways to do it:

Generate from selected drafts or scheduled articles. In the Articles list, select multiple Draft or Scheduled articles and run Generate now on all of them. Each article generates with its own saved settings — Drafts use your account defaults, and Scheduled articles keep the settings and publishing choices you saved for them. To keep things stable, RankTurn limits this to about 5 starts per minute per workspace, so kicking off a very large batch all at once may slow down slightly.

Generate series topics. Series — and therefore generating series topics in bulk — is available on the Pro plan only. In a series, select several queued topics and generate them together. The dialog shows the topics you picked and lets you set shared generation settings (article length, image and diagram options, internal links, an extra prompt, where to auto-publish, and so on) that apply to every article in the batch. By default each one uses your account's saved settings; turn off "use defaults" to apply the shared settings to the whole batch.

How many run at once. To protect quality and stay within limits, RankTurn generates at most 5 articles at the same time. The rest wait their turn and start as room frees up. If you run out of your usage allowance partway through, generation stops there and the remaining items are left untouched.

Generation consumes your Articles quota — one credit per article. See Usage Quotas for how credits work and Add-On Packs if you need more.

Generate Now (from the Calendar)

The Content Calendar shows your scheduled articles alongside upcoming series topics placed on their future publish dates. An upcoming topic isn't an article yet — it's a placeholder for what the series will write on that date. Because these upcoming topics are part of the Series feature, both the topics on the calendar and the per-topic Generate now require the Pro plan.

When you want an upcoming topic written right away rather than waiting for its scheduled date, use Generate now on the topic card:

1. Open the Content Calendar.
2. Find the upcoming series topic card on its calendar date.
3. Click Generate now.

RankTurn takes that one queued topic, creates the article, assigns its issue number, keeps the same publish date, and starts writing right away. When it finishes, the topic becomes a real article on the calendar in place of the placeholder.

What to Expect

All three actions run in the background — RankTurn lines up the work and gets started, so you don't have to wait on the page.

• Bulk publish lines up one delivery for each article on each platform and starts delivering right away, so you don't have to wait for the next scheduled round. Each article is marked Published up front, and the actual result for each platform is recorded in that article's publishing status as it completes. Any failures show up there rather than stopping the whole batch.
• Bulk generation starts writing in the background (up to 5 at a time). You can leave the page; articles move to Generating and then Draft or Published as each one finishes.
• Generate now works just like generating a single article, started immediately.

Where you've enabled them, generation and publishing results are sent to you through your Notification settings, and you can always check progress on the Articles list and the Content Calendar.

Limitations

Bulk publish works at the platform level only — it doesn't let you choose a specific publishing profile for each platform. Each platform publishes the batch using its default profile. If you need to send to a specific non-default profile (for example a particular WordPress site or Webflow collection you've set up as a separate profile), publish those articles one at a time instead, where you can pick the exact profile. See Publishing & Scheduling for the single-article flow and Integrations for how profiles are set up.
