Use the widget authoring shortcuts to create and edit rich, banner, styled, and news (edit only) content directly from the employee portal. When you use the widget shortcuts, the system generates a publish plan to deliver the
content to that specific widget.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_cd.content_manager and editing permission for this topic or page. For more information on ownership permissions, see [Content Ownership](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/yLqH5cBLxIP0L2QKunYKeA "Define who has permission to create content, where they can publish it, and which employees can view it.")

## About this task

The following widgets offer authoring shortcuts:

* Content experiences
* Rich Content
* News (edit existing news articles only)
