Sections are visible folders in your newsroom where you can keep and organise your press releases and other assets so they're easy to find for journalists and other press contacts. There are even different section page layouts for you to choose from.
Sections are normally set up during onboarding, but you can add/edit them at any time from the dashboard. In the newsroom, they'll appear in a dropdown menu called 'News' (unless you rename it of course).
You can choose the number of sections, the name of each one and add images and an optional description. We can also add some branding to this menu so that it looks the same as the rest of your newsroom. Below are some examples.
Example: Oneway Bike
Example: Shimano
Enabling sections
To enable sections, simply go to the Newsroom Settings page, and then select the Sections tab.
Here you can add as many sections as you like, along with their image and description. If you would like any special branding here, for example, no image, please get in touch and we'll chat through your requirements.
Editing sections
To enable sections, simply go to the Newsroom Settings page, and then select the Sections tab.
Right click and select Section Settings to edit name, image and optional description.
If you'd like to change the order of your sections, click and drag that section to the correct place and release it when you see the green tick that appears.
Section pages
In the newsroom, you have the option to tag press releases, media kits, clippings and events so any items in the same category will show together on a single page (as well as in their respective pages).
There are three types of layouts for section pages:
1. The default layout: Every item you tag will appear on this page, grouped by asset type (press releases, events, clippings etc).
Example: Fever
2. The tabular layout: Perfect for when a lot of content needs to come together, or for when assets span multiple topics.
3. The blog layout: Great for running a corporate blog in your newsroom. It removes all the clutter from your articles and the tag overview page shows a clean list of all the blog articles that have been published.
