19. Dependency Management
• Publish a set of content assets to multiple delivery channels in
a single action
• I can set an asset as being a publishing dependency on
another
• Assets are automatically published to their respective
channels in the correct order
• If an asset publication fails, so will any dependant assets
o E.G. A tweet referencing a press release cannot be published if the
press release has failed to publish
• If I try and delete and image that is a dependency of another
asset, I will be notified
23. Social Media Monitoring
• View relevant conversations happening
around your brand and products
• Understand the impact of your content
