Articles
This section lists all your articles with their title, their categories, their tags, their authors and their state (visible or not on the site). Click on a row to open an article, or on Create an article to write a new one.
The search bar and the filters (status, category, tag, author) help you find a specific piece. By ticking several articles you can activate, deactivate or delete them, change their categories, authors or tags in one go, or export them to a CSV file.
If the blog is globally disabled, a banner alerts you with a shortcut to Settings.
On your very first visit, as long as the blog has no article and no title, Create an article opens a four-step assistant: blog name, first author, blog page theme (Default, Classic, Magazine or Typographic) then article theme (Default, Editorial, Reading or Magazine), each previewed live. The Create my blog button saves these choices, activates the blog, creates the author and takes you straight to writing your first article.
Writing
The main column of the editor holds the article description (the excerpt shown on the blog page) and the body text. The editor handles headings, lists, quotes, tables, alignment, links, images and YouTube videos, with your site's styling applied as you type. At the top of the page, Save publishes your changes and Duplicate creates a copy of the article.
Visibility
Controls the publication of the article on the site. Enable Article visible to make it accessible to visitors; disable it while it's in progress or when you want to remove it temporarily.
SEO
Description shown in search engine results. Provide a clear Article title and a concise Article SEO description to improve SEO. Add an Article share image: it serves as the thumbnail in the article list and as the preview when the article is shared on social networks.
Classification
Categories, authors and tags linked to the article. Attach the article to one or more Sections, choose its Authors and add Tags so your readers can easily filter similar content.
