Ability to pitch from composer

When I'm reading a story in composer, I want to pitch it to a collection from the right navigation bar. Currently I need to open Websked - Stories then pitch from there.

    Hi Eric, thank you for your follow-up! I've shared your feedback with the WebSked team. Within WebSked, when you click "Pitch" from the Stories view, there are options to pitch to Platform, Publications, or Collections. Here's an example of what this looks like. It's possible that your organization does not have all pitching options configured. I hope this helps, thank you for sharing your experience with us.

    Thank you so much. Will look into that. Really appreciate it.


    Any comment on this: when pitching from WebSked - Stories there is an unnecessary step. When I click 'pitch' it should open up 'add to collection' not just the preview window which forces me to click 'add to collection'. It's a two step process that could be dialed back to one.

    Hi Eric, thank you so much for your inquiry. This functionality exists today! It looks like your organization has the WebSked functionality disabled within Composer Settings. Simply uncheck this box on settings and you'll be good to go:

    Once you do that, you'll see the ability to search and filter by WebSked workflow status within Composer, and you'll have the ability to add to a collection straight from the right navigation bar here:

    Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have further questions.

    Also, when pitching from WebSked - Stories there is an unnecessary step. When I click 'pitch' it should open up 'add to collection' not just the preview window which forces me to click 'add to collection'. It's a two step process that could be dialed back to one.
