Publishing Workflow

  1. Draft: Create your post
  2. Preview: Review how it looks
  3. Publish: Make it live

Best Practices

Do:

  • Use clear, simple language
  • Include visuals when possible
  • Be specific about what changed
  • Explain the benefit to users
  • Publish regularly

Don't:

  • Use jargon or technical terms unnecessarily
  • Write walls of text
  • Skip important details
  • Publish incomplete information
  • Forget to proofread

Post Visibility

Posts inherit visibility from their page:

  • Public pages = Posts visible to everyone
  • Private pages = Posts restricted by role
