Blog

Every space except a knowledge base has a blog for news and announcements. Blog posts use the same editor as pages, but they do not appear in the page tree. They are listed newest first on the blog of their space.

Write a post

1. Open the space and select Blog in the space sidebar.
2. Select New post. You can also create a post from the create menu of the space.
3. Enter a Title (up to 255 characters) and, optionally, an Excerpt: a short summary shown in lists, up to 500 characters.
4. Select Create post.

The post starts as a draft that only editors of the space see. Write the content with Edit. You need the editor role in the space to create posts.

On the post you can also:

• Change the excerpt below the title.
• Choose a Cover image from the images attached to the post, and set the focal point that stays visible when lists crop the image.
• Add labels, as on pages.

Publish a post

Blog posts always use publish mode: readers see the last published version, and later changes stay in a draft until someone selects Update. The steps and the draft tools are the same as for pages; see Publishing and page status.

• Publish now: select Publish.
• Schedule: select Schedule publication in the post menu and choose a date and time in your time zone, at most 366 days ahead. The post shows Publishes on with the date. Change schedule and Cancel schedule work until then. At the scheduled time, the draft as it is then is published.

A scheduled post is published only if the person who scheduled it can still edit it at that time. Otherwise the post is marked Waiting for approval, and that person and the space admins get a notification. A space admin then selects Publish now or Cancel schedule. Anyone else who changes the schedule becomes responsible for it.

Space admins see every scheduled post of the space under Scheduled on the blog page, with posts waiting for approval first.

Find posts

• Blog of a space: Blog in the space sidebar. Editors also see drafts and scheduled posts here, marked Draft and Scheduled.
• All blog posts: the home page lists New blog posts from the last 30 days in your spaces. All blog posts opens the blog posts of all spaces of your organization you can read, with filters for Space and Label.
• Search: blog posts are found like pages; the operator type:blog limits results to them.

Each post has its own address with its content number; see Content addresses.

Pin a post

• Space admins pin a published post at the top of the space blog with Pin in this space in the post menu.
• People who manage the spaces of the organization pin posts at the top of the organization-wide list.

Notifications

• Follow blog on the blog or on a post sends you a notification for every new post of that blog. Only the first publication of a post is announced, not later updates. You get it only for posts you can read, and not for posts you wrote or edited yourself.
• The list of blogs you follow is in your notification preferences, where you can also stop following.
• To hear about comments and changes of a single post, watch it like a page.

See Notifications.
