Who this is for
This article is for Searcle workspace users responsible for reviewing, editing, and maintaining content that powers AI answers and your public Searcle subdomain.
What you’ll do
You’ll use the Content Hub to:
View all content in your workspace
Understand how different types of content are organized
Edit published content to keep it accurate and up to date
Most day-to-day work happens in Published content.
What the Content Hub is
The Content Hub is the central place where all content used by Searcle lives.
It brings together:
System-managed Foundation assets
AI-generated Draft content
Live Published content
This structure lets you maintain accuracy, quality, and visibility across AI systems and search engines.
How content is organized
Content in the Hub is grouped into three sections, each with a distinct purpose.
Foundation
Foundation content includes system-managed assets used by AI models and search engines to understand and index your site.
Foundation content includes:
LLMs.txt — A plain-language brief that provides brand context and talking points for AI models
Robots.txt — Instructions that control how search engines crawl your site
Sitemap.xml — A list of published pages that helps search engines discover content
You generally do not need to edit Foundation content. These assets update automatically as your content grows.
Only modify Foundation content if Searcle support explicitly instructs you to do so.
Draft content
Draft content represents AI-generated content that has not been published yet.
At this time:
Draft content is reviewed with the Searcle team directly as part of onboarding or ongoing collaboration
Drafts are not visible on your public subdomain
Drafts are not published automatically
A self-serve draft review workflow is coming soon.
Published content
Published content is live on your Searcle subdomain and visible to users and AI systems.
By default:
Searcle publishes generated content directly to Published content
You can edit Published content at any time
Edits update the existing page rather than creating a new one
This is where you’ll spend most of your time.
How editing works
All edits are made directly in the Content Hub.
To edit published content:
Open a Published content item
Click into any field to edit
Make your changes
Click Save changes
Saved changes typically take effect within 24 hours.
⚠️ Foundation content should only be edited if directed by Searcle support.
How content review works today
Currently, Searcle publishes content directly to Published content on your behalf.
If content requires review before publishing, the Searcle team will coordinate reviews with you outside the platform.
A human-in-the-loop workflow is coming soon. Once available, you’ll be able to enable a workspace setting that routes new content to Draft content for approval before publishing.
How to confirm success
You’re successfully using the Content Hub when:
Foundation content appears in the Foundation section
Published content is visible in the Content Hub
You can open Published content, make edits, and save changes
Updates appear on your AI subdomain after processing
Troubleshooting
Content is missing
If Foundation or Published content doesn’t appear after setup completes, or published pages aren’t live on your subdomain, contact Searcle support.
I can’t view, edit, or save content
If editing or saving is unavailable, contact Searcle support. This usually indicates a workspace or permission issue.
