# Content Refresh

> Automatically detect and update stale content to maintain AI citations

## Overview

Content Refresh in Relixir keeps your existing content fresh and optimized for AI search engines. Stale content loses visibility—fresh content gets cited 6x more.

<Info>
  **Fresh content gets cited 6x more.** Content updated in the last 30 days dramatically outperforms stale pages in AI citations. Stale content (12+ months) drops below baseline.

## Why Content Refresh Matters

Manual content refresh can't keep up at scale. At 15 pages/month, it takes 13+ months to refresh your library—by then, the first pages are stale again.

The Content Refresh cycle keeps you ahead:

```
Monitor → Detect Decay → Propose Refresh → Review → Deploy → Monitor
```

## The Content Refresh Workflow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Decay Detection">
    System continuously monitors your content for:

    * Pages losing rankings
    * Pages losing AI citations
    * Pages with outdated information
    * Pages underperforming vs. competitors
  </Step>

  <Step title="Refresh Proposal">
    Agent analyzes the page and suggests specific updates:

    * New data or statistics
    * Updated claims or information
    * Additional sections or FAQs
    * Improved structure for AI readability
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review Changes">
    See a diff of proposed updates before approving. Each change is explained with rationale.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve & Deploy">
    One-click approval pushes the update to your CMS. The refresh is tracked in revision history.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Where to Find Refresh Proposals

### Agents Page

Expand an agent to see its refresh proposals in the actions list. Agents monitor content related to their goals and propose refreshes accordingly.

### CMS Suite

Access all refresh proposals across your content at:

```
https://app.relixir.ai/dashboard/cms
```

***

## Triggering Refreshes

### Automatic Detection

By default, Relixir continuously monitors your content and proposes refreshes when:

* Performance metrics decline
* Competitors publish newer content
* Information becomes outdated

### Manual Trigger

You can also trigger refresh analysis on-demand:

1. Go to the Agents page
2. Expand the relevant agent
3. Click **Refresh Content** to analyze and propose updates

***

## Revision History

Every refresh is tracked with full revision history:

* View all past versions of content
* Compare versions side-by-side
* Rollback to any previous version if needed
* See what changed and when

Access revision history from the **Revision History** tab on any blog detail page.
