Introduction
The Article Overview provides you with a central place to view and manage all your articles. You can filter articles by Status and Type. The feature also provides key article details like the published date, category, views, comments, and author. You can use search to find articles quickly, and you can create new articles as well.
How Does It Work?
The Article overview can be accessed by clicking on “Articles” from the left menu.
Once inside the Articles menu, you can filter the articles by:
View all: This displays every article regardless of its status.
Published: This shows articles that are live on the website.
Draft: This lists articles that are saved but not yet published.
Scheduled: This displays articles set to be published at a future date, along with the scheduled time.
In the article list, you can view the following information for each article:
Published Date: The date the article was published.
Category: The category in which the article was published.
Web Views: The total views the article has received on web.
App Views: The total views the article has received on app (If you have a mobile app for your site).
Comments: The total comments received on the article.
By: This option allows you to view the Author of each article.
You can also search for an article by entering a word or phrase
NOTE:By default, it searches only in the title of the article. But, if you select “Search in content”, it will look for the entered word or phrase in all the articles’ content.
You can also filter articles by “Type”
There are five types of articles you can filter by, which are based on the article type option you choose in the article editing page:
All: This will show all the articles regardless of type.
Normal Articles: This will show standard articles with text and images.
Video Articles: This will display articles where a video is used instead of the main image.
XML Feed Articles: This will show articles that are created through an XML feed.
Liveblog Articles: This will display the articles where a liveblog has been added to the content.
External Articles: This will show articles that have an external link redirect.
Finally, the “Add Article” button allows you to add a new article.
One Editor Access Feature
The "One Editor Access" feature is designed to prevent conflicts when multiple users try to edit the same article.
On the article overview page, if an article is already open for editing by someone, it will appear as "locked," with a thumbnail of the current editor and a message stating that the article is locked. If you need to make changes, you’ll need to ask the current editor to exit the article.
If, however, an article is accidentally opened by two users at the same time, only the first user who opened it can make edits. The second user will see a pop-up notification informing them that the article is locked and will not be able to make any changes until the first user finishes editing. This ensures that only one set of changes is made at a time, preventing any conflicts.
