We now have the "workflow" option available as a setting on the RSS and YouTube channels. This way, you can set all incoming content to a workflow wish is not set to publish.

More channel types are coming soon.

Just FYI, this "batch upload" feature is available in our next release, due out later this month.

Also, in our last "core" release we also simplified the process of uploading photos.

Also, was this through the Content Exchange? Anything coming in through the TownNews.com Content Exchange Network will automatically be "no purchase."

I can put in a feature request for this. However, two things that would also really help that are available now or will be very soon.

Firstly, adding #nosale to the collection itself now assumes that you are not selling all images in the collection. That was made available a few weeks ago.

Secondly, in our next software released (slated for next month), we are adding the ability to batch upload from many more places! Such as from inside a collection:

Or from the Related Children panel:

And then, as part of the batch upload phase, you can batch edit them before you import them all into the site:

Also, if you are using the batch tool to import photos, it is probably a good practice to keyword tag them all so you can find them later.

Now, if you forget to do it after those steps, or if the images are already on your site (because of syndication) you still are faced with the problem you mentioned in your post. And so I'll add a feature request for that idea. =)

But, at least these things help a little.

Hi Craig!

Next month we will allow inline placement of Related Content items. So you could create a Fact Box Related Content item, and then drag it inline. That may help if you want to include multiples, or put them at different places in the article.

In addition, I love this content box that you have for transparency... I am actually going to post a different article to get some brainstorming going on for this!!! =)

Hey Nathan! If you look at my post below, that's similar to the request I have in now. We think we can actually make the icons actionable as well - so when you hover on them, they expand and you can vote. So yes, totally agree with you!
