Overview
Publications is the section of LayerSync that houses all features that are publication related and these are factored into the following subsections:
- Articles
- Events
- Case Studies
Within these subsections you can control all your websites articles, events and case studies with ease.
Articles
Most websites would likely use an Articles layer somewhere within a page to display news articles - this is very common to see, it adds a lot of validity to a company to be active in company news.
In the Articles subsection within LayerSync, you can see a list view of all the Articles that have been added to your website. This list view displays the ID generated by the CMS, Title, URI, Status and Release date. You can also edit/delete Articles from this list.
If you want an article to appear on your website, it must be set to active. If you want it to appear in featured articles it must be set to featured as well.
There are 3 predetermined views of articles that will be decided at the design stage, these will be the featured view, list view and article view. Featured articles is a layer you would add to a page to show a few of the featured articles on your site - this is something you could add to your homepage for example. The list view is the view that will display all active articles on your website in one list, this view would be most likely used within the page of your site's news page. The article view is the view of one individual article eg an article that you have clicked on from featured or from the news list - this would take you to the page where you read the article.
Editing Articles
