Publishing quality checklist
A quick pre-flight pass for creators before a model, image, video, or article goes public.
Before you start
- A draft upload, model version, media post, or article that is almost ready to publish.
Quick answer
- Before publishing, check title, rating, tags, preview, description, source/model context, and whether the page makes sense to a stranger.
- Open the page like a downloader or viewer would. If they would need to ask you basic questions, add the answer now.
- Fix private data before release: emails, tokens, local file paths, Discord-only context, and unredacted screenshots do not belong in public posts.
First pass: can a stranger understand it?
A good release answers the obvious questions without making the viewer dig through comments. What is it? Who is it for? What base model or workflow does it expect? What changed? What should people avoid?
Universal pre-publish checks
- Title is clear without private context - Avoid temporary names like test, final-final, upload2, or only a filename.
- Description says what the item is for - One direct paragraph beats a long vague intro.
- Rating matches the visible content - Rate what people can see, not what the prompt intended.
- Tags help discovery - Use a few strong tags and remove filler.
- Preview is representative - Show normal expected output, not only the luckiest result.
- No private data is visible - Crop screenshots and remove tokens, emails, private messages, and local paths.
| Type | Extra check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model/version | Base model, trigger words, version notes, file source, hashes, license/source context. | Downloaders need compatibility and safety context before touching the file. |
| Image | Prompt/workflow context, model reference, rating, and whether metadata is intentionally visible. | Images often teach by example; missing context limits usefulness. |
| Video | Thumbnail, duration expectation, rating, and playback quality. | Viewers decide quickly whether a video is worth opening. |
| Article | Headings, summary, links, thumbnail, and stale external references. | Readers scan first. Structure matters more than length. |
Write release notes people can act on
- Lead with the practical change: new model, fixed version, new workflow, guide, sample set, or announcement.
- Mention compatibility or requirements before examples.
- Add known limitations honestly. This prevents repeated comments later.
- Link related Arc pages instead of asking readers to search manually.
- After publishing, open the public page and fix obvious missing fields right away.
Quality problems after publishing
People keep asking how to use it
Likely cause: The title, description, trigger words, or base-model context is missing.
Fix: Edit the description and version notes instead of answering the same comment repeatedly.
The post appears in the wrong searches
Likely cause: Tags or rating are too broad, too narrow, or simply wrong.
Fix: Edit tags and rating, then wait for search/browse state to refresh.
A screenshot exposed private data
Likely cause: The image was uploaded without redaction.
Fix: Remove or replace the media and rotate any exposed key or token immediately.
