Basic information

This article describes the different options for saving and publishing content in Pangea CMS.

Save content in draft

You can save content in draft. This indicates that the content is still in progress and is not yet ready for publication.

TIP: Regularly saving content helps to minimize lost work if you accidently close the tab or the internet connection drops unexpectedly.

To save content in draft:

1. Select Draft in the status drop-down menu.

   

2. Hit Save or Save & close.

   

The content is now saved in draft.

Mark content as ready for review

Some services require an Editor to review all new content before publication. In this case, the content is created by a Contributor. Then, the content is reviewed and published by an Editor.

A Contributor can signal that content is ready for review. Follow these steps:

1. Select Edited in the status drop-down menu.

   

2. Hit Save or Save & close.

   

The content now has the Edited status in Pangea CMS. This signals to Editors that the content is ready for review.

An Editor can find content that is ready for review on the main Search screen in Pangea CMS. Follow these steps:

1. Select Edited under Status in the search filters.
2. Hit Search.

The results refresh to include only content with the Edited status (content that is waiting for review).

Immediately publish content

NOTE: This option is only available if you are part of a CMS User group that has sufficient rights to publish content.

To immediately publish content:

1. Select Published in the status drop-down menu.

   

2. Hit Publish or Publish & close.

   

The content is now published. The publication date and time on the published page are set automatically to the moment of publication.

Schedule publication

NOTE: This option is only available if you are part of a CMS User group that has sufficient rights to publish content.

You can schedule publication for a specific date and time in the future. The content will be automatically published at the date and time you specify. Follow these steps:

1. Select Published in the status drop-down menu.

   

2. Select Pub. options.

   

3. Select Schedule publication.

   

4. Under Publication date & time, select the date and time when the content will be published. Enter the date and time manually or click the calendar icon to use the date and time picker.

   

5. Select Apply.

   

6. Select Schedule or Schedule & close.

   

Publication is now scheduled for the specified date and time. The content will be automatically published at this time.

Add the "Updated" badge

If you update content that is already published, you can add the "Updated" badge. This means:

• The "Updated" badge is displayed on the published content page with information about when the page was updated.
• The "Updated" badge is displayed on any widgets where the content page is promoted.

The "Updated" badge signals that the page includes updated content. We suggest you only add the "Updated" badge if you make significant changes to the content.

To add the "Updated" badge:

1. Select Pub. options.

   

2. Tick the box next to Last update.

   

3. Under Last update, select the date and time for the update. The current date and time are filled automatically. To use a different date and time, enter the value manually or click the calendar icon to use the date and time picker.

   

4. Select Apply.

   

5. Hit Publish or Publish & close.

   

The "Updated" badge is now displayed.

If the same content is updated again, the last update information does not change automatically. If needed, you can manually change the date and time of the last update. Follow these steps:

1. Select Pub. options.

   

2. Under Last update, change the date and time for the update. To quickly select the current date and time, hit the Now button.

   

3. Select Apply.

   

4. Hit Publish or Publish & close.

   

The last update information for the content page is now updated.

Stealth publish a video

The Stealth published status is available only for videos.

When you save a video with the Stealth published status:

• A standalone content page is not created for the video.
• The video does not have a public URL and is not automatically accessible on the public site.
• The video is not indexed by search engines and does not appear on search engine results pages.

You can embed a stealth video on a content page using the inline embed functionality in Pangea CMS.

Stealth publication is useful if a video will be embedded, but the video is not suitable for sharing as a piece of standalone content. For example, your service might create a short video to play a supporting role in an article.
