Introduction: Articles
Article pages are used for time-sensitive content such as press releases, news articles, blog posts, investor updates, and statements. By default, they include a publication date and appear in Newsroom modules such as the News Carousel, Featured Article, Headlines, Search, and Archive pages.
Article pages connect with other Presspage products: you can distribute them via Email and Social Media. Using a clear tag structure ensures articles are organised correctly and are easy for visitors to find.
Step 1: Add Page
In this step you create the Article page and give it a name before moving on to adding content.
- Navigate to Newsroom in the navigation bar and select Pages from the dropdown.
- Click Add Page in the top left corner. The page type defaults to Article. You can also create an Article based on a template by selecting the Based on Article or Template option.
- Fill out the relevant fields. The Page Name is mandatory.
- Click Save to proceed.
Go to Page Settings, Template (article) Pages for details.
Step 2: Add Page Text, Inline Images, and Page Details
The Page text section is where you add the main content of the article, including the:
- Title and Subtitle
- Summary and Excerpt
- Body text in the text blocks (A)
- Boilerplate - Additionally, an Inline Image (B) can be added per text block.
The Page details section at the bottom of the screen, controls how the article is displayed and categorised across the Newsroom. Make sure to add a Featured Image and the correct tags before publishing.
Click Save before navigating away to avoid losing changes.
Go to Page Text, Page Details, and Newsroom tags for details
Step 3: Preview the Page
Click Preview Page in the left sidebar at any time while editing to open a preview of the page. This helps you catch any issues before the article goes live.
Step 4: Add modules to the article
Newsroom modules allow you to enrich the article with contact information, multimedia, and other content. Add modules from the left sidebar and use the search bar at the top to quickly find what you need.
Commonly used modules include:
- Personal or General Contact Information
- Quotes
- Images
- Videos
- Downloads (e.g., PDFs, reports)
- Subscriptions (e.g., newsletter sign-ups)
- Inquiries
- Headlines
- Buttons
To maintain consistency and improve efficiency, consider creating an Article Template with predefined modules which you can reuse for future articles.
Go to Newsroom Modules Overview for details.
Step 5: Adjust the page layout
Use the Page layout section to control the order of text fields and modules on the article page. Drag and drop elements into the preferred order. Hover over a block to edit (pencil icon) or delete (trash icon) it.
Note: In single-column layouts, modules added to a side column need to be moved into the main column to be visible.
Go to Page Layout for details.
Step 6: Set up distribution options
Distribution options let you extend the reach of the Article before it is published, by connecting social media channels or creating an Email campaign.
Note: Email needs to be setup in order to use the Newsroom-Email integration.
In the left sidebar, click Publish options and navigate to the Distribution options area. Here you can:
- Connect social media channels to auto-publish the Article.
- Create an Email campaign to distribute the Article to your audience.
Go to Distribute to social media, Sending out articles using the Mail Editor for details.
Step 7: Publish Options
[When the Article is ready, click Publish Options in the left sidebar.] Publish the Article by updating the the Publish Status to Published or Schedule a publish date. Click Save to confirm the new status. Once published, the Article will appear in the Newsroom immediately.
Note: If adding older content (e.g. during the Onboarding phase), use the Schedule Option to backdate the publish date.
Go to Publish, schedule, backdate, or unpublish the (article) Page for details.
