Adding articles help

Articles cannot be submitted without at least a title and a summary. In addition, the submission date defaults to the current date but this can be altered if the submitter wishes to defer publication for example.

A date for withdrawal of the article from display can also be set. After this date the article will remain in the archive and can still be retrieved by searches if needed.

It is important to examine 'Article Classifications', and check as many boxes as are appropriate. This ensures your new article is eligible to appear in classification choices and will help users find it.

If the Public category is unticked then viewing will be restricted to those audience categories that are ticked.

If you neglect to tick any audience categories you will be prompted to do so upon submission.

If, on subsequent editing, the Article Classifications are not shown at the bottom of the screen, they can be revealed by clicking on 'Show Article Classifications'
