Level of Permission (Roles)

Available to Tenant, Super Admin, Admin and Content Manager users.

Overview

This section refers to the place where administrators can manage and create text-based content within a Channel. This section provides tools and functionalities to upload, edit, organize, and control text posts.

There are two different views available: grid (default) or list. Administrators have the ability to filter Text posts by:

Categories: upon selecting a Category, a list of the text posts assigned to that specific category will be displayed; and/or
Featured Text: a list of "Featured" or "Non-featured" text.

Depending on the text post publishing settings, it will be displayed in one of the two available tabs:

Published: a list of published (posted) text posts, ordered by published date (newest to oldest). These text posts are available to users;
Draft: a list of text posts that are in an unfinished or preliminary state and have not been published yet. These text posts are not available to users.
