Edit an article and export it

The article editor is a plain writing space. It saves by itself and keeps headings, bold text, lists and links as markdown, which converts cleanly to any website.

Steps

1. 1

   Open an article

   On: Project, Content

   Open Content in the project and open an article.

   You should see: The editor with Edit and Preview.

2. 2

   Edit

   On: Article editor

   Write in Edit. Use ## for a heading, ### for a sub-heading, double asterisks around bold text, and square brackets with a link in round brackets for links.

   You should see: "Saving…" then Saved. Edits autosave after about a second and a half.

3. 3

   Preview

   On: Article editor

   Switch to Preview to read it as visitors will.

   You should see: The formatted article.

4. 4

   Set the status

   On: Article editor

   Change the status as the article moves along: Draft, In review, Approved, Published or Archived.

   You should see: The status shows your choice.

5. 5

   Copy or export

   On: Article editor

   Copy markdown copies the text. Export offers Markdown (.md), Full HTML page (.html) for a standalone page, and HTML snippet (.html) with the body only, to paste into an existing template.

   You should see: The file downloads or the text is on your clipboard.

Tips

• A warning at the top means the writer stopped at the length limit and the ending is missing. Finish the last section before publishing.

Troubleshooting

Your last edits are missing from the exported file.

Wait until the editor shows Saved before you export or copy.

The article stops in the middle of a sentence.

The writer reached its length limit. A warning at the top says so. Write the last section yourself before publishing.
