Posts
Write and organise stories, understand authorship and choose publication or review.
What a Post represents
Posts hold stories, perspectives and announcements. The current website gives them the Journal collection, with individual addresses such as /journal/new-studio. Unlike Pages, Posts do not form a parent-and-child page tree. They can use Categories and Tags to connect related writing, and an author profile can supply the public byline.
Administrators and editors manage the team's Posts. Authors create, edit and publish their own Posts. Contributors write and submit their own unpublished Posts but cannot publish them. Once a contributor's Post has a published version, the current policy no longer grants that contributor editing access to it. Ask an editor to make subsequent changes or review the account's intended role.

Write your first Post
- Open Posts and choose New Post, or Create Post on an empty list. Enter a working title and choose Create & open editor.
- In Content, refine Title and Address / slug. Write an Excerpt that introduces the story and put the full article in Body.
- Use the body toolbar for headings, emphasis and lists. To insert a named link, select its text, choose Link, enter a safe destination and choose Apply link.
- Choose a Featured image when your layout needs one. Add Categories & tags in Organization; the dialog's Taxonomy selector switches between the allowed groups.
- Check Author profile, SEO & visibility and the saved-state message. Preview the saved article before deciding to Publish or Submit for review.
The default Post definition has no extra structured detail fields. Its core writing fields are enough for an ordinary article. Body is the canonical article text; a custom visual composition is optional. A designer can supply a shared template that displays the title, byline, image and body consistently across Posts.

Choose the supporting information
| Control | What to decide |
|---|---|
| Excerpt | A short introduction, not a second copy of the full body. |
| Featured image | The exact library image version the published article should use. |
| Author profile | The public identity for the byline; this is separate from the login account that owns the entry. |
| Categories & tags | Shared classifications selected from the groups allowed for Posts. |
| Template | An optional compatible layout override; the normal site template works when none is chosen. |
| SEO & visibility | Search-title/description wording and whether a publication is public or private. |
Authors and contributors may select only their own published profile, or clear attribution. New content automatically uses their own published public profile when one exists. Administrators and editors can assign other profiles. Changing a byline does not transfer ownership of the Post or grant that profile's person permission to edit it.
Some fields remain restricted even on an otherwise editable Post. Authors and contributors cannot change visibility, template or parent references. The server rejects those changes. If the work needs a different layout or privacy setting, ask an editor. Contributors also lack library upload/browsing capability, so an editor may need to handle the images.

Choose what happens after saving
Saving updates the working draft; publishing chooses a saved revision for the website. A revised headline, body, slug or classification stays private until publication, even when an older version is already live. Preview is tied to your account and expires after 30 minutes. It cannot be shared as a public link with someone who has no access.
A contributor sees Submit for review. That action pins the exact saved revision. Later edits do not alter the submission; submit again when the replacement is ready. A person with publication capability sees Publish in the normal editor instead of a separate submission button. Approval is not a universal prerequisite for an author or editor who already has permission to publish.
For example, submit an announcement on Monday, then draft a new quotation on Tuesday. The reviewer can publish Monday's approved version while Tuesday's quotation remains in the working draft. If timing matters, an authorised publisher can schedule a saved revision rather than relying on someone opening the website at the intended time.

Resolve common writing problems
Watch Saving changes, Unsaved changes and Saved before leaving. When another editor has saved first, automatic saving stops rather than overwriting their work. Download my changes preserves your local snapshot; Load latest replaces the editor with the current saved version. Reapply only the changes you still intend after comparing them.
If the article is missing from Journal, check that it is published, public and outside Trash. If your draft headline is visible in administration but visitors see the old one, that is expected draft isolation. If Categories or Author profile are unavailable, publish the required linked records first through an authorised editor.
Use Changes to find published Posts with later edits and Revision history to recover earlier writing. Unpublish content withdraws the article; Move to trash also removes it from the ordinary list. Bulk actions apply to the named selection on the current page and report individual failures. Read every result before assuming the whole selection changed.
