Content sometimes needs to be reviewed after a set time. This can have several reasons:

  • At the time of publishing a piece of content (article, comment) some information isn’t available yet but it is clear the information will be available on a certain date
  • The piece of content is published using information that will be outdated on a certain date (e.g. announcements)
  • The piece of content contains media (e.g. images, videos) that have limited usage rights (e.g. image rights are bought for one year, after that the license expires)
  • other reasons

In order to not miss any of these events and to always keep the content up to date, we propose a new function.

We would like to be able to schedule a content review on any piece of content that is published in the community. This function includes options to set a date and time and a text field (and preferably also an option to assign it to a moderator/admin). At the given time, the assigned user (or every moderator/admin) gets a notification (e.g. email, private message, system message in the Control Panel) that alerts the user of the task and the URL.

This way it will be easier to stay on top of keeping content up to date, no matter if it is regarding updated information, outdated information, expired licenses or for other reasons.

This is a great idea, and it’s surprising to see this hasn’t generated more traction with Gainsight’s product team, especially since it’s still very relevant. Like many others, we manage content across both CC and CE, and the ability to schedule content reviews natively in these tools would save a lot of manual effort while helping ensure our published materials stay accurate and up to date. 

There are lots of use cases for which this would be beneficial. Here are some that immediately come to mind: 

  • Announcements and updates that expire or need a follow up (e.g., product releases, events/incentives, upcoming changes, beta program info)
  • Knowledge base articles that are published before all the details are available, or that need to be refreshed as the product evolves
  • Media assets with limited usage rights or relevance (like images or videos that need to be removed or replaced after a year, or as the product evolves, co-branded assets)
  • Content tied to policies or regulations that need to be reviewed on a regular cadence 
  • Educational content that’s seasonal, recurring, or tied to a time sensitive programs

Being able to set a review date, leave a note, and assign it to a specific admin or moderator (with an email or system reminder when it’s due) would make this process much more manageable. More importantly, it would help CC and CE customers by keeping content timely and relevant.  

As an org using both CC and CE, this would be a major quality of life improvement for our admins and moderators. It would also help eliminate unnecessarily tedious manual tracking and follow-up work. Ultimately, this comes down to content hygiene, which is something I suspect to be a shared priority across the board for most Gainsight customers managing community or education platforms.

Assigning a content review date and owner in Gainsight would be transformative, fostering simpler collaboration with clear accountability and deadlines – essentially a built-in CTA like we have in Gainsight CS.

This idea would directly translate to higher quality content and better efficiency by ditching manual tracking. A valuable implementation for streamlined content management, and a step forward towards #parity across the entire Gainsight ecosystem, providing a more consistent and comprehensive user experience.

Couldn’t agree more with the comments above! In addition, I’ll offer another perspective that I am increasingly feeling pressure here in our new AI age. We’re finding that community content is surfaced in LLMs in a way that’s much harder for us to track. And while there’s a ton of potential here for even broader impact and utilization of knowledge from our community, there’s a correspondingly greater risk of someone seeing a less-than-accurate post. This tool would be a massive advantage in our ability to make and keep our community accurate.
