Content templates

Content templates enable content creators to publish high volumes of news article content. A template sets the publishing duration, destination, and audience. When a template is associated with a news article, the system auto-generates the publish plans, which reduces the effort necessary to publish content.

Your instance includes two out of the box templates with a set duration of 90 days and an audience of all active users.

• Featured News: Delivers news to the portal Home page, News Center, and mobile app.
• News Default: Delivers news to the portal Home page and News Center.

To view a graphic that displays where the News widgets appear, see News articles.

To view the templates, navigate to All > Content Publishing > Content Templates > View All.

Note:

Updating a content template does not impact existing publish plans that use that template.

Using Content templates

Content creators can opt to use a content template when creating a News article, such as in the screenshot below. This auto-generates publish plans once they click Save or Save and continue.

A Content template can be modified, even if it is associated with a News article. Changes to a Content template will not impact the existing publish plans for News articles.
