How do I add a Location box to every story?

Where: Settings → Advanced → Custom fields

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/settings/custom-fields (replace <your-site> with your site address). If you don’t see it in the menu, turn on Show all settings on the Settings page.

Before you start

• The site owner or an admin changes custom fields.

Steps

1. Open Settings → Advanced → Custom fields.
2. Press Add a field.
3. Type the Name, for example Location. Editors and readers see this name.
4. Choose the Kind of answer: Text, Number, Date, Link, Choice, Yes / No or Image. For Choice type one choice per line.
5. Add Help for editors if you like. It shows under the box in the editor.
6. Under Where readers see it choose Below the title, In the sidebar or Not on the site (only your team sees it).
7. Tick Required if a story can't be published until it is filled in.
8. Press Add field. You find it under More details in the story editor.

Good to know

• The kind can't change after the field is made. Make a new field if you chose the wrong one.
• Use the arrows to change the order. The editor shows the boxes in this order.
• Hide takes a field out of the editor and your site, but keeps the values already filled in. You can Show again any time.
• Delete removes the field for good and clears its value from every story. It can't be undone.
• The page shows how many fields you have used out of your limit.
• You can ask the AI, for example "Add a Source credit field shown in the sidebar".

Common problems

• "Give the field a name, for example Location." Type a name.
• "Add at least one choice." A Choice field needs at least one line.
• A story can't be published. A Required field is empty. Fill it in under More details.
