Edit inline
You can change these in the grid by clicking the cell and choosing a new value. Changes are saved via the API and the row updates without a full page reload.
Status
Click the Status cell (e.g. "Draft" or "Pending"). A dropdown opens.
Choose Published, Draft, Pending, Scheduled, or Trash.
The post updates immediately; the grid and any dashboard stats stay in sync.
Approve pending posts, move a draft to Published, or send to Trash without opening the editor.
Author
Click the Author cell (avatar and name). A dropdown or popover lists site authors.
Select another user. The post is reassigned and the cell shows the new author.
Reassign drafts to another writer or fix attribution from the list.
Date
Click the Date cell. A date picker opens.
Choose a new date (and time if supported). The post publish/created date updates.
Reschedule or backdate posts without leaving the grid.
Categories and labels
Categories: Click the Category (or primary taxonomy) cell. A multi-select opens. Add or remove categories; save; the row reflects the new selection.
Labels / tags: Click the Labels or Tags cell. Multi-select for that taxonomy opens. Change tags/labels and save. The cell updates.
If a cell does not open a control, that column may be read-only in your setup. Status, Author, and Date are usually editable.
In Step 4 we will use row actions (Edit, Duplicate, Delete) and optionally customize columns.
