Pantheon released a public preview of Content Publisher on Sept. 16. According to company officials, the tool enables teams to publish content directly from Google Docs to websites running on Drupal, WordPress or Next.js in less than three minutes.
The solution aims to eliminate copy-paste workflows that can introduce errors when transferring content from Google Docs to content management systems. Pantheon Content Publisher will launch with a free tier and two paid tiers.

Content Management's Evolution
Content management systems face an identity crisis, shifting focus from customer content to internal operations while neglecting writers' actual workflows.
Pantheon's new Content Publisher addresses a fundamental disconnect in content creation. According to industry reports, CMS vendors have treated content management as a "solved problem" while ignoring how content teams actually work. This aligns with Pantheon's research showing 90% of writers work directly in Google Docs, MS Word and similar tools rather than CMS interfaces. The solution aims to bridge this gap by enabling direct publishing from familiar tools.
This release comes amid broader CMS evolution trends, including AI integration for automating content creation and metadata tagging. With 55% of organizations now using AI in their digital experience toolset, vendors are racing to enhance content supply chains that enable content reuse across channels.
The move also reflects the industry's shift toward headless architectures that separate content management from presentation layers. By supporting WordPress, Drupal and Next.js, Pantheon positions its solution to work within this increasingly modular ecosystem while addressing the coordination challenges that have plagued enterprise content operations.
According to our research, 90% of writers work directly in Google Docs or another platform outside of their CMS. The fact is, getting that content on the web in 2025 is clunky and unreliable. That's unacceptable. It's time for content and web teams to cut the copy/paste workflow and start bringing content online in a way that is optimized for the modern web.
