Creating an Article using Plone.

1. Log in to our website. Once you are in our website, go to location to which you want to add a new article. For this tutorial, I am adding a new Article on My Folder section

2. Click on Add new… to open a drop down menu. Choose Article

3. This will open up an Article template. Fill out necessary information

1. Title Field – the title of the page, this will also become the link of the article. A Required Field
2. Description Field – a short summary of the content.
3. Body Text Field – this is where the content of the page is added. A toolbar is included to allow you to format your contents.

4. Once you are done with the content. Click on the Save button located at the bottom of the page

5. After you save it, you will need to publish the article only if you are working on a department site. If you are working on your own personal site. You may skip this step.

Why do I need to publish? Only published works are searchable by our search tool. And also for security reason.

• To publish the article, click on the State: Public draft link located at the right side of the light green row on the View tab.
• This will open a drop down menu. Click on Publish.

6. Congratulations, you just created an Article.
