Description
ClearDraft adds a sidebar panel to the WordPress block editor that lets you
submit posts and pages for automated legal and compliance review. Get feedback
on potential legal issues directly within your editing workflow, without
switching between tools.
When you submit a post for review, ClearDraft analyses the content for legal
and compliance risks and returns a report with identified issues. You can track
the review status from the editor sidebar and open the full report when the
review is complete.
ClearDraft requires an active ClearDraft account and API key. Visit
cleardraft.com to learn more.
External Service
This plugin sends data to the ClearDraft API for
automated legal and compliance review. When a user submits a post for review,
the following data is transmitted to the ClearDraft service:
- Post title
- Post subheadline, when the site stores one in the
sub_headlinepost meta field - Post content
- The submitting user’s email address
- Whether the user requested an expedited review
An API key (configured in Settings > ClearDraft) is sent with each request to
authenticate your organization.
Data is transmitted over HTTPS to the ClearDraft API endpoint configured in
your plugin settings.
Additionally, when a user opens the WordPress block editor, the plugin sends
the current user’s email address to the ClearDraft API to verify that the user
has an active ClearDraft account. This access check is required for the plugin
to function, and the result is cached locally for 15 minutes to minimise
requests. No post content is transmitted during this check.

and Terms of Business before use.
