Articles can be grouped into **categories**, scheduled to publish and unpublish automatically, limited to certain customers, and opened up for comments. ## How to access Navigate to **Community → Articles** in the dashboard. Categories are managed from the **Categories** link under the Articles card on the Community page. Each row shows the article's image, **Title** and summary, **Author**, number of **Comments**, **Publish on** and **Unpublish on** dates, and a **Published** or **Unpublished** badge based on those dates. Use **Add article** to create one. ![The Articles list](https://mintcdn.com/nexudus/Pe3pLOykvGoZdleH/images/platform/content/content-articles.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Pe3pLOykvGoZdleH\&q=85\&s=3adf089f05d758321897f93c701654ac) ## Writing an article ![The Details tab of an article](https://mintcdn.com/nexudus/Pe3pLOykvGoZdleH/images/platform/content/content-articles-details.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Pe3pLOykvGoZdleH\&q=85\&s=40eb8a31e04cf2cf392f202de18c4787) **1. Add the article** Go to **Community → Articles** and click **Add article**. **2. Fill in the article details** Enter a **Title**, choose one or more **Categories**, and pick the **Author** shown on the article. If you manage several locations, also choose the **Location**. **3. Set the language (optional)** Leave **Language** empty to show the article to everyone. If you choose a language, the article only appears to customers browsing your portal in that language — useful for publishing separate versions of the same article on a multilingual portal. **4. Write the content** Under **Article content**, add a **Summary** (shown in article listings) and the **Body**. Upload a **Large image** (1500×1125px or larger, used in the article list and on the article page) and a **Small image** (960×520px or larger, used when the article is listed as related to another). **5. Choose when and to whom it's published** Set the publishing dates and options described below, then save. ## Publishing and unpublishing Articles don't have a separate publish button — they're published according to the dates in their **Publishing settings**. ![Publishing and availability settings for an article](https://mintcdn.com/nexudus/Pe3pLOykvGoZdleH/images/platform/content/content-articles-publishing.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Pe3pLOykvGoZdleH\&q=85\&s=4a71a5b3e29f32385a2c838afd2b4a72) | Setting | What it does | | - | - | | **Publish on** | When the article goes live. A past date publishes it as soon as you save; a future date schedules it. Leave it empty to keep the article unpublished. | | **Unpublish on** | Optional. When the article automatically stops appearing on the portal. Leave it empty to keep it published until you change it. | | **Feature this article on the home page before users log in.** | Promotes the article on the public home page. | | **Feature this article on the home page after users log in.** | Promotes the article on the logged-in home page. | | **Allow users to comment on this article.** | Lets customers comment on this article. Only applies when comments are switched on for your account — see [Moderating comments](#moderating-comments). | | **Permalink** | The article's public address on your portal, for sharing. Shown once the article has been saved. | Under **Availability**, choose who the article is available to: **All customers**, **Contacts** (customers without an active contract), or **Members** (customers with an active contract). > [!TIP] > > Set both dates for time-limited content. Publish a seasonal offer a few days early and set it to unpublish when the offer ends, so stale content never lingers on the portal. ## Categories Categories group related articles so customers can filter them on the portal. Go to **Community → Articles → Categories** and click **Add category**, then give it a **Name** — and a **Location** and **Language** if needed. Renaming a category updates every article in it. ![Article categories](https://mintcdn.com/nexudus/Pe3pLOykvGoZdleH/images/platform/content/content-article-categories.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Pe3pLOykvGoZdleH\&q=85\&s=42cd694091f6c1b3ca046fc9955ce8ff) Keep the list short — a handful of recurring themes such as *News*, *Tips & guides*, and *Community* is easier for customers to browse than many narrow categories. ## Moderating comments ### Switching comments on Two settings under **Settings → Modules → Articles** control comments for your whole account: * **Let users post comments in articles.** — the master switch. When it's off, no article accepts comments, whatever its own setting. * **Automatically publish comments in articles.** — when on, comments appear on the portal as soon as they're posted. Turn it off to approve each comment before it's published. Each article also has its own **Allow users to comment on this article.** setting, so you can turn comments off for individual articles. ### Approving, rejecting, and deleting comments Open an article and go to the **Comments** tab. Comments are listed newest first, each with a **Published** or **Unpublished** badge. Use the **All comments**, **Published**, and **Unpublished** filters to find the ones waiting for review. ![Comments on an article](https://mintcdn.com/nexudus/Pe3pLOykvGoZdleH/images/platform/content/content-articles-comments.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Pe3pLOykvGoZdleH\&q=85\&s=46cd5a875613be9c4ed3ee753b26e3fe) * **Approve** (✓) publishes the comment on the portal. * **Reject** (✗) unpublishes it. Rejected comments are hidden from customers but stay on the tab, so you can change your mind later. * **Delete** (bin icon) removes the comment permanently. Keep this for spam or abusive content. To act on several comments at once, tick them and use **Bulk actions**. You can also reply as an admin by typing in **New comment** and clicking **Add comment**. ## Copying an article To reuse an article's structure — for example a monthly round-up — tick it in the list and choose **Copy** from the **Bulk actions** menu. The copy is named *Copy of \*, keeps the content, categories, and author, and starts with no comments and no publish date, so it stays unpublished until you schedule it. ## Related * [Announcements](https://learn.nexudus.com/platform/content/announcements.md) — short, prominent notices on the portal * [Newsletters](https://learn.nexudus.com/platform/content/newsletters.md) — emailing customers about new articles * [Events](https://learn.nexudus.com/platform/content/events.md) — the events an article might promote * [FAQs](https://learn.nexudus.com/platform/content/faq.md) — answers to common questions This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
