### Overview

This feature lets you create a single article on demand — no schedule, no automation. You pick a template, add a keyword, and generate the article right away. You can then publish it to your website with one click.

### Creating an Instant Article

1. Go to the **AutoBlog** tab.
2. Click **Add Article**.
3. Select the **For Later** option (this keeps the article unscheduled, so it isn't tied to a publishing date), then click **Continue**.
4. Choose your article template. Arvow offers three standard templates, plus any custom templates you've built under **Manage Templates**.
5. Enter your **input.**
6. Click **Add Keywords**.

Your article now appears in the **Unscheduled** tab.

### Customizing Before Generating (Optional)

Before generating, you can fine-tune the article:

1. Click **Edit Article**.
2. Adjust settings such as structure, formatting, and images.
3. Click **Save Changes**.

### Generating the Article

1. Click **Generate Now**.
2. Once generation finishes, the article moves to the **Generation** step, where you can review it.

### Publishing the Article

1. Open the generated article.
2. Click **Publish Article**.

The article is published to the integration connected to your project (for example, your WordPress site).

> [!WARNING]
> ⚠️ You need an integration connected to the project before you can publish. If no integration is set up, the article stays in Arvow until you connect one.

### FAQs

**Q: Can I schedule the article instead of generating it right away?**
Yes. Instead of choosing **For Later**, pick a date when adding the article and it will generate and publish on that schedule.

**Q: Can I use a custom template for a single Article?**
Yes. Custom templates appear alongside the three standard templates when you choose a template. You can create and edit them under **Manage Templates**.

**Q: Do I have to publish immediately after generating?**
No. Generated articles stay in the Generation step until you're ready to publish.
