Authoring
Publishing
Every Document is in one of two states:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | The Document exists in your account but isn't attached to any Publication. Only you can see it. |
| Published | The Document is placed in a Category within a Publication, and has a public web address. |
Publishing and unpublishing are single actions — nothing is copied or deleted, and you can move a Document between the two states as often as you like.
Publishing a Document
From the Document editor (or a Document row in the Manage tab), use Publish. The Publish Document dialog asks for two things:
- Publication — which of your Publications this Document belongs to.
- Category — an existing Category in that Publication, or + Create new category, which reveals a New category title field so you can make one without leaving the dialog.
Confirm, and the Document is placed in that Publication and Category together. It now has a canonical URL built from the Publication's domain, the Category's URL path, and the Document's slug:
https://{domain}/{url-prefix}/{category-path}/{document-slug}
Publishing several at once
Each Category on the Manage tab has an Add Document button (an empty Category also offers it as a Select Unpublished Document for Publication link in its drop zone). It opens a dialog listing every Draft Document you own that isn't published anywhere yet. Tick the ones you want, click Done, and they're all published into that Category in one step. If you have no Drafts left, the dialog links you to Create New Document instead.
Editing after publishing
Just edit and Save. Changes to a published Document's title, body, image, or tags appear on connected websites immediately — there's no re-publish step.
Changing the slug of a published Document, or a Category's URL path, changes the Document's address and can break existing links.
Moving a Document between Categories
In the Manage tab, drag the Document to another Category and Save Order. It stays published; only its section (and its URL) changes.
Unpublishing
Use Unpublish (on the editor or the Manage tab row). The Unpublish Document dialog confirms; the Document is removed from its Publication and Category and returns to Draft. Its content is untouched, and you can publish it again — to the same place or a different one — whenever you want.
A Document can only ever be published to one Publication at a time. To move it to a different Publication, publish it there; it leaves the old one automatically.
