Writing content
The editor supports rich text: headings, bold, italic, lists, links, images, and embedded media. See Using the editor for details on the editor features.
Publishing
Posts have two states: Draft and Published. New posts start as drafts. When you are ready, change the status to Published and click Save. Published posts appear on the event website immediately.
Bulk status changes
From the post list, select multiple posts and use the bulk action to publish or unpublish them at once.
Autosave
The editor saves your work automatically as you type. If you close the browser or lose connection, your progress is preserved. You will see an autosave indicator in the editor toolbar.
Common questions
Q: Can I schedule a post to publish later?
There is no scheduled publishing. Set the post to Draft and manually publish it when you are ready.
Q: Who can see draft posts?
Only staff with the posts.read permission. Draft posts do not appear on the event website.
