Managing blog posts

The Blog page is the home for everything you publish from your clinic.

Create a new draft

Click New draft in the top right of the Blog page. A new untitled draft opens directly in the editor — type a title, write your content, and it saves automatically as you go. Drafts stay private until you publish them.

Write with the editor

The post body is a document-style editor — no toolbar to hunt through. Three shortcuts cover most of what you need:

  • Insert blocks with /. On an empty line, type / to open a menu of blocks: headings, bullet and numbered lists, a quote, a code block, a divider, and images. Keep typing to filter (for example /h1), then press Enter or click to insert.
  • Format with the selection bar. Select any text and a small bar appears above it for bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, inline code, and adding a link.
  • Reorder by dragging. Hover over a block and grab the handle on its left edge to drag it to a new position.

Empty lines show a faint "Type '/' for commands…" hint. To add an image, use the / menu and paste the image's public URL. Everything you type autosaves; there's no separate Save button for the body. Long titles wrap onto multiple lines instead of being cut off.

Publish, schedule, and update

The editor's right-hand panel holds everything about getting a post live. The current state shows at the top (Draft, In review, Scheduled, Published) next to the autosave indicator.

  • Publish now sends the post live immediately.
  • Schedule for later… reveals a date-and-time picker; the post goes to Scheduled and publishes automatically at that moment. The go-live time also shows under the post's status in the list and on the Goes live row in the editor's Details.
  • Submit for review (for contributors) hands the draft to an editor, who can Approve & publish or send it back.

Updating a post that's already live

Editing a published post autosaves to a draft copy — it does not change the live page yet. When you're ready, click Publish changes to push your edits to the public site. A reminder under the button says so. Use Unpublish to pull a post off the site (it returns to Draft; you can publish it again later).

View the live post

On a published post, click View live post in the status panel to open its public page in a new tab.

Find posts quickly

Use the Search box to filter posts by title. Combine it with the labelled Status: dropdown (Draft / In review / Scheduled / Published / Archived) or Type: dropdown (Article / Video / Case study / News) to narrow the list. Scheduled posts show their go-live date and time, and archived posts appear dimmed. URLs are shareable — copy and send a teammate a filtered view.

Per-post actions

Click the more-actions icon (three dots) on any row:

  • Edit opens the post in the editor.
  • Publish is available for drafts, scheduled posts, and posts in review.
  • Archive removes the post from the public site. Archived posts are not deleted — change their status back to bring them online again.

Bulk archive

If you have permission to delete posts, each row gains a checkbox. Select the rows you want to archive in bulk and click Archive selected. You'll be asked to confirm. The bulk action archives each post in parallel and tells you exactly how many succeeded.

Organize with categories

Open Categories from the Blog menu to manage your editorial categories. Type a Label and the Slug (the part that appears in the URL) fills in automatically — edit it yourself if you want something different. Drag the handle on the left of any row to reorder categories, and use the pencil and trash icons to rename or remove one.

Assign categories to a post from the Categories panel in the editor: its boxes are pre-ticked with the post's current categories, and ticking or unticking one saves right away.

On a phone

The Blog works on small screens. The list becomes a stack of cards (with the same row menu), and in the editor the main action — Publish, Submit for review, or Publish changes — stays pinned to the bottom of the screen so it's always within reach.
