Write, review and publish coast pilot text from one place
Your team gets typed paragraphs, approvals and weekly editions published as PDF, web pages and JSON.
Editors, cartographers and publication managers work from the same approved source. Reviewers and approvers record each decision. Mariners and field units report changes against the exact paragraph and follow the status.
- Every paragraph carries its type, geography and chart numbers
- Nothing publishes without a named approver and a date
- Every edit records who, when and why
A chapter tree beside weekly change set readiness. The same approved paragraphs drive the print, web and data outputs.
From a draft paragraph to a published edition in three moves
Write once, check the work, then publish the set as one unit. The order stays the same for an edition and for a weekly change set.
Write a paragraph
Pick a type: aid to navigation, hazard, anchorage, bridge and cable, regulation, general, caution or note. Add geography, chart numbers and source, then save with a reason. See how to write one.
Review and approve
Send the paragraph for review with a reviewer and a due date. Reviewers comment or suggest replacement text. Approvers accept or reject each suggestion and record the decision. See review and approval.
Publish an edition or weekly set
Collect approved paragraphs in order, run the checks, compare with the last edition and lock the set. Publish PDF, web pages and JSON from the same snapshot. See editions and publishing.
