July 21, 2022 — Content consistency is very important to site owners but implementing that is a complicated issue for developers to solve, with many reaching to third-party plugins.

In this workshop, geared towards developers, we will create a custom plugin that will define a configurable pre-publish checklist that must be met before content can be published.

Along the way, we’ll work with the `@wordpress/env`, and `@wordpress/scripts` packages to create a local development environment and create our build process. We’ll also learn how to extend the Block Editor UI using the SlotFill system and leverage the data layer to deeply integrate our plugin into the core publishing process.
