Path: PressAI โ†’ Historical Import.

Before running

  • Validate the source in the normal latest-content workflow first.
  • Set bounded backfill limits under Settings โ†’ Automation & Recovery.
  • Start with a small range and inspect results before scaling.

Review before starting a backfill

Confirm the source is healthy and that current content is already flowing correctly before importing older material. Start with conservative batch and URL limits, inspect the first completed items, and only then increase the range. Historical import should feed the same editorial review path as current discoveries rather than bypassing quality or publishing controls.
