Stacy 1 week ago 0

Is there a feature yet where you can add a different social media image? Most times what is posted is our Logo and we'd like to be able to create more engaging images.

If we could drag and drop images from "Child Assets" to the "Teaser" section just like you can with the "Body Copy" section, it would help with workflow.

ryan herzog 3 months ago updated by Lindy Ritz 3 months ago 1

In fact, if you could do that with all relevant tabs, that would be nice. For my workflow, I need to add teaser photos and 9 time out of 10 that's the first child asset attached to the article. I know Social media and the website may automatically add the child asset on the website without needing a teaser, but it's best practice to do it anyway to avoid those awkward automatic crops the system sometimes does. As of now, I need to go into the child asset, copy the slug and then go to the teaser section where I have to "Copy from another asset," paste the slug and select it that way. This would really cut down on clicks if I could just simply drag and drop/

I want to focus a different image in a web story versus the print version, but I find that your system takes the top image used in the print version for the web. How do I change that?

Seeking advice for a workflow solution

joe 6 months ago updated 6 months ago 4

We're looking at making  move to a more streamlined content management and publishing system. I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terminology there. We're happy with Town News. But currently, we spend a lot of time at our organization discussing story ideas, assigning them, editing, etc. We're looking for a tool (Have I missed this as part of Town News' offerings?) where a writer can be assigned a story/or choose from a selection of topics, receive a deadline, submit the story, allow an editor to be assigned and then, ultimately, schedule a post to BLOX. Or some similar process. Is anyone familiar with a tool that will help us manage/automate the publishing workflow?

Feature Request: Username associated with video clips created in Blackbird and Field59

Tom Houston 11 months ago 0

It would be great to have a username associated with video clips that are created in Blackbird and Field59. As an admin, it would be extremely helpful to be able to quickly identify the person that created a specific video clip.

This feature would come in handy if a video clip were erroneously published or efforts were duplicated by 2 users. Currently we have no way of identifying the clip's creator.
