Copywriting Overview
The Copywriting feature in Creative Force is a game-changer for writers. It lets copywriters see product data, images, and guidelines—all in one place. Plus, it simplifies QC and makes tracking performance a breeze.
Before you dive into setting up your Copywriting Style Guide, we highly recommend reading the Overview article. It’s packed with info about Accounts and Client setup that’ll help you get started on the right foot.

Task Trigger: When Copywriting Tasks Start
Trigger decides when a copywriter can start working on a task. Here are your options:
On product creation: The copywriter can begin working on a task as soon as the product is created.
A related sample is checked in: The copywriter can begin working on a task as soon as a related sample has been checked in.
Photography of any production type is done: The copywriter can begin working on a task as soon as any production type for a product has been completed.

Photography of a specific production type is done: The copywriter can begin working on a task as soon as a specific production type has been completed.
Task Bundling: Grouping Tasks for Style Codes
Task bundling is a handy feature for products with the same Style Code. It lets copywriters work on multiple products as a group, applying the same content across the board.
Products can be in a bundle when all of the below are met:
Their copywriting tasks haven’t started.
They share the same Style Code at import.
They are using the same Style Guide and Workflow versions.
Products imported before a bundle task starts will join the group. Products imported after the task starts won’t be included.
Combining Task trigger and Task bundling, when a single product is started, the whole bundle of products will be affected.
Example
Trigger: Task starts when a sample is checked in.
Scenario: Five products share the same Style Code.
Outcome: As soon as the first product is checked in, copywriting for the entire group is unlocked.
If bundling is enabled, you’ll see the number of available tasks in that bundle.
Note:
If a Bundle has over 300 tasks, you will not be able to filter by that Style Code on the Production, Products, Samples, and Assets page.
