# NEW: Auto-Curated

Auto-Curated newsletters combine the efficiency of automation with the flexibility of editorial oversight.

Traditionally, curated newsletters require editors to manually create each issue, select content, review the newsletter, and publish it to their audience. With Auto-Curated newsletters, Feedotter speeds up this process even more and preserves opportunities for editorial review and control.

{% hint style="info" icon="bell-exclamation" %}
**Auto-Curated is an optional feature that can be enabled on any existing or new curated newsletter.** Each newsletter can be configured independently, allowing you to choose which newsletters use Auto-Curated automation and which continue to use your existing curated workflow.
{% endhint %}

**Auto-Curated newsletters can automatically:**

* Create new newsletter issues on a schedule
* Populate sections with content from configured content sources
* Assemble a complete draft newsletter for review
* Publish the issue to your Email Service Provider (ESP) after a configurable delay
* Provide editors with time to review, modify, or cancel publication before the newsletter is sent

This allows teams to significantly reduce the time spent assembling newsletters while maintaining confidence that every issue can be reviewed before publication.

### How Auto-Curated Newsletters Work

Auto-Curated newsletters are powered by three layers:

#### 📅 Scheduled Issue Creation

Feedotter can automatically create a new newsletter issue based on a schedule you define, including the frequency, time, days of the week, and timezone.

#### 📰 Content Preloading

When a new issue is created, Feedotter can automatically populate newsletter sections with content from assigned content sources. Each section can be configured independently, allowing some sections to be fully automated while others remain manually curated.

#### 🚀 Optional Automatic Publishing

After an issue is created, Feedotter can automatically publish the draft to your connected ESP after a configurable delay. During this review window, editors can make changes, publish immediately, or cancel the scheduled publication.

### Automation With Editorial Control

Teams can choose how much automation to enable:

* Automatically create draft issues while publishing manually
* Automatically create and populate issues while reviewing before publishing
* Automatically create, populate, and publish issues after a review window
