The Queue is where your publishing system becomes visible. In this chapter, you’ll learn how the Queue is structured, how posts move through different statuses, and how to use it as the main working area for managing your publishing flow.

Once your publishing system is in place, the Queue is where you see that system in motion and manage what happens next.
The Queue is the main content area in SmarterQueue. It is where posts live as they move through different stages of your publishing workflow, from content that is ready to go out, to content that has already been published, paused, failed, saved as a draft, removed from active publishing, or moved to Trash.
Rather than being one simple list, the Queue is made up of different statuses that help you understand where each post currently sits in its lifecycle.
Used well, the Queue gives you a clear view of where your content is, what is moving forward, and what needs attention across your publishing system.
The Queue is not one simple list. It is a set of different statuses that show where posts are in their lifecycle and what kind of action, review, or follow-up they may need.
The more clearly you understand how the Queue works, the easier it becomes to follow your content through the system and spot where something needs attention.
