Putting together an article is straightforward: you type the text into the main fields and then use drag and drop to add photos.

You have the option of setting up publishing routes to choose where something gets published in case you have multiple websites.

I like that you can set up a personal workspace and also add different widgets to your dashboard depending on what you’re interested in.

Superdesk can aggregate and automate multiple mundane newsroom jobs.

Cons
Con Sometimes buggy
Sometimes, when trying to publish a post I was getting errors which was a bit annoying. However, after we updated to the latest version the instance was running smoothly.
Con Not one-click publishing
At least in our company’s system you need to do a couple of extra steps to publish an article.
Con A lot of configuration
Example: a few plugins and some code are needed for gatsby-img or markdown to work.
