Articles and News: detail and content/presentation pages
Fill in the fields of an article or news item, publish or schedule it from its Article Details page, and add a presentation or an image gallery from the Content Management tab.
Which fields can I fill in?
Go to Information > Articles & News and select Add Article. The Create a new Article window has these fields:
Article Banner Image - Optional: an image shown at the top of the article. Use a 3:1 ratio, for example 900x300 or 1200x400 pixels. The same ratio applies when the news carousel is enabled.
Article Title: the name of the article. Required, between 3 and 255 characters.
Article Description: a short summary. Required, between 3 and 500 characters.
Article Content: the main body readers open in the app. Required, at least 3 characters.
Publish Date: the date shown in the app. Required. If you pick a future date and time, the article can be scheduled to publish at that moment.
Article Category: optional. Type a name to pick an existing category; if it does not exist, select Create a new Category. Use Rename Category to change the selected one.
Mark as Featured (stick to top): keeps the item fixed in the top section or carousel.
Only display Article Content: removes the article header (image, title, description and likes), so readers see only the content.
Groups Segmentation: select the groups that should see the article. If you do not see this section, your platform does not use group segmentation for articles.
Select Create to save. A new article is saved with the status Building; it is not visible to users until you publish it.
What validation should I expect?
Title, description and content are required in the default language. The other languages are optional; if some are empty when you save, the platform asks whether to fill them from the default language. Publish Date is also required. Article Category is not required.
Can I use different languages?
Yes. If your platform has more than one language, a tab for each language appears at the top of the form. Each language can have its own title, description, content and banner image.
What does the Article Details page show?
Open an article from the list to see Article Details: the banner image, title, description, category, Groups Segmentation, Created At, Updated At, Published At or Scheduled For, and the status (Building, Published or Scheduled). Select Edit to change the details.
The actions at the top of the page depend on the status:
Publish: shown for a Building article whose publish date is not in the future.
Schedule Publication: shown for a Building article whose publish date is in the future.
Cancel Scheduled Publication: shown for a scheduled article.
Unpublish: shown for a published article.
Open in App: opens the article in the app, when available.
Send Push Notification: available only after the article is published.
Delete: removes the article.
The page also has two tabs: Article Preview shows the article as users see it, and Content Management holds the Article Content and Presentation Content blocks.
How do I add images to a news item or article?
Use Presentation Content to add a set of images to an article.
Open the article and go to the Content Management tab.
In the Presentation Content block, select Create a Presentation.
Choose Generate Slides from Images. To build slides of other types one by one, choose Create Slides Manually instead.
Select one or more JPEG or PNG files from your computer. The editor creates one Fullscreen Image slide per file.
Review the slides and select Save.
You can select several files at once in step 4. In the app, the article shows a row of thumbnails for the slides (up to 12; when there are more, the last thumbnail opens the rest). If every slide is an image, selecting a thumbnail opens an image gallery.
