Creating Content for a News Story

After the news story is created, authors can enter and edit content for the story, or import content that was previously created in an external HTML editor.

This task is a step in Process of Managing Group News.

To create the content for the news story

1. From the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Group News Authoring > News Inbox.
2. In the News Stories list, select a news story, and then click the Content Editing view tab.
3. In the Content Editing form, enter the news story content, and set the status.

   When you click in the Content Editor field, the integrated HTML editor toolbar appears at the bottom of the field. The toolbar provides special editing controls, which allow you to use supported HTML formatting and standard editing features. For more information, see Fundamentals.

4. Complete the remaining fields as needed.
