-4. Write a post: `posts create <productId> --title "..."`, then `posts update-content <productId> <articleId> --json-file post.json` with `{"content":"<markdown>"}`, then `posts update` for slug, excerpt, SEO, category, author and tags.
+4.

Use `--status draft` to keep it private, or `--status scheduled --scheduled-for <iso-datetime>`. Nothing is created when a field is invalid. If the slug is already used, the error carries `details.existingArticleId`: update that post instead of creating it again.
 5. Share a private preview with `outrank-cli products blog preview <productId> --scope post --target-id <articleId>` before publishing when the human wants to review.
-6. Publish with `posts publish <productId> <articleId>` (add `--scheduled-for <iso-datetime>` to schedule). Take it down with `posts unpublish`.
-7. After editing a live post, run `posts sync <productId> <articleId>` so the blog shows the change.

+6. Change a post with `posts update <productId> <articleId>` and only the fields that change (`--title`, `--content-file`, `--status`, or `--json` with any field). A live post is refreshed on the blog automatically; `--status draft` takes it offline and `--status published` puts it live. `data.applied` lists what was saved.
+7. Delete a post with `posts delete <productId> <articleId>` (confirm with the human first; `--status draft` only hides it).
+8. Adjust the design with `design patch <productId> --json '{"config":{"theme":{"colors":{"accent":"#2563EB"}}}}' --publish`: send only the fields that change (objects merge, arrays replace). `design get` shows the current config; without `--publish` the change stays in the draft, previewable with `preview --scope design`. Blog name, description, language and subdomain are in `update-settings`.
 9. Add pages (About, Contact) with `pages create` and `"status":"published"`, `"showInNav":true`.
 10. Connect a custom domain with `domain connect`, show the returned DNS records to the human, then `domain verify` once they are added.
 
 Important behavior:
 
 - Posts are articles: their id is the article id, and Outrank articles that are ready can be published to the blog the same way.
-- `posts publish` refuses a post with broken `ob-*` blocks and lists them in `error.details.blockErrors`.
+- Publishing refuses a post with broken `ob-*` blocks and lists them in `error.details.blockErrors`.
+- The older step-by-step commands (`posts update-content`, `posts publish`, `posts unpublish`, `posts sync`, `design update`) still work; prefer `posts create`, `posts update` and `design patch`.
 - Removing the Outrank badge, enabling platform indexing and turning off the built-in analytics need a paid plan (`BLOG_ACTION_FORBIDDEN`).
 - `delete` needs `--confirm <subdomain>`, takes the blog offline and turns its posts back into unpublished articles. Always confirm with the human first.
 - `webhooks create` (and `webhooks update` with `"rotateSecret":true`) return the signing secret once; give it to the human.
@@ -542,13 +544,20 @@ Important behavior to remember:
 - per-article instructions live on the linked scheduled keyword, so they are only editable while that planner relationship still exists and is writable
 - `articles get <articleId>` returns `article_type_options`; use those values when patching `article_type`, `article_subtype`, or `expected_length`
 - `articles update --json '{"article_type":"guide","article_subtype":"howTo","expected_length":"medium"}'` mirrors the dashboard Article Type Settings modal and rejects values outside the allowed option lists
-- `articles update --json '{"status":"published"}'` attempts a real publish through the product's active integration for eligible attached articles; if the remote publish fails, inspect the returned error and the article's `publish_error`
+- `articles update --json '{"status":"published"}'` only changes the status inside Outrank; it sends nothing to the CMS. Use `articles publish` for that
 - slug is readable for reference but read-only in the agent API
 - `articles generate <keywordId>` mirrors the current create-and-publish flow for a scheduled keyword
 - `articles precreate <keywordId>` mirrors the current pre-generation flow; after calling it, inspect the keyword state until it moves from `generating_article` to `pregenerated` or back to `scheduled`
 - `articles retry-publish <articleId>` only works for generated articles with a publish error
 - `articles bulk-replace` is preview-first; review the returned excerpts, then rerun with `"confirm": true` in the JSON payload to write changes

+- `outrank-cli articles create --product <productId> --title "..." --content-file article.md --publish` stores the article and sends it to the CMS in one call. Add `--json '{"meta_description":"...","image_url":"https://...","slug":"..."}'` for the rest. It needs an Articles subscription on the product and does not use a generation slot. For a hosted Outrank Blog, `products blog posts create` is the richer option (SEO fields, category, schedule).
+- If `data.publish_error` is set, the article was kept but the CMS refused it: fix the cause, then run `articles publish <articleId>`. Never create it again; a second create with the same slug returns `CONFLICT` with `details.existing_article_id`.
+- `articles publish <articleId>` sends an article that is not published yet. Most CMSs create a new post on every publish, so never repeat it after a success.
+- After changing a published article with `articles update-content` or `articles update`, run `articles sync <articleId>`: it updates the post already in the CMS (found by its slug) instead of creating a new one.
+
 ## Article improvements workflow
 
 Article improvements take an already-published post, analyze its Search Console performance, draft a rewrite brief, run a multi-step rewrite, and push the improved version back to the CMS. This is a separate surface from article generation. It requires the All-in-One plan; on Basic plan candidate lists come back empty and write actions return `PLAN_UPGRADE_REQUIRED`.
