Key features of the Articles Manager

The Articles Manager interface provides several tools to help you manager your content:

• Search and Filter:
  • Use the search bar to quickly find articles by title or keywords.
  • Apply filters (e.g. category, status, author) using the dropdowns to refine the list.
• Columns Overview:
  • Featured: Star / unstar an item to set it as a featured article. Useful for featured sponsors etc.
  • Status: Shows whether the article is published (green check), unpublished (grey cross), or archived.
  • Title: Displays the article name. Click to open editor.
  • Author: Lists the creator or editor of the article.
  • Date Created: Lists the creation date of the article.

Articles Locking

• When an article or content block is being edited, it is automatically locked to prevent multiple people from making changes at the same time.
• Please ensure you either click Save & Close after making changes, or Close if you've just viewed the content, rather than clicking back in the browser or closing the window etc.  This will ensure you check-out correctly.

You may notice:

• You may notice:  The content can’t be edited, and a message saying it’s locked.
• What to do:  Wait until the other person finishes editing. If no one else is editing it, click the padlock icon to unlock.
