How do I set the story label, key points and corrections?
The Trust panel sets the story label, key points and corrections, and shows the AI label when AI helped. Readers see all of these on the story.
Stories
How do I mark a story from another publisher, or let partners republish mine?
Syndication means sharing stories between publishers. Say if this text came from another publisher, and if partners may republish your story.
What is the story summary for?
The summary is a short line under the headline. Google and AI answers often show it, so it helps people decide to read your story.
How do I add an FAQ, steps or a review that Google can show?
Add questions and answers, how-to steps, a review or a fact-check to a story, so Google and AI answers understand it. Google no longer shows FAQ boxes.
What are the story settings?
Story settings hold where the story shows, who wrote it and optional extras. Only the section and the author are needed to publish, and we fill them in for you.
How do I list sources and fact-check a story?
List who and what a story is based on and mark whether the facts are checked. Only your team sees this.
How do I check that Google can find my story?
The panel Can Google find this story? checks that Google can find and read a story. There is nothing to fill in: fix only what shows a warning.
How do I help Google and AI tools quote my story correctly?
Say who checked the story, list its sources, and choose how much text Google and AI tools may show. It helps them quote you correctly.
How do I preview a story on a phone, tablet and laptop?
See how the saved story looks on a phone, a tablet and a laptop before you publish. Nothing is published by previewing.
How do I share a draft with someone outside my team?
Make a private link so someone without an account can read the draft before it is published. The link stops working by itself.
How do I write different text for apps, email and social posts?
Write a different headline, text or picture for app alerts, the newsletter or a social page. The story itself does not change.
How do I link people, places and related stories?
Say who and where a story is about, and link related stories. Readers get links to more of your stories.
How do I leave private messages for my team on a story?
Team messages are private notes about one story. Type @ and a name to mention someone; readers never see them.
How do I set team steps, embargo and take-down times?
Move a story through your team steps, keep it hidden until a set time, take it down at a set time, or schedule changes. All of it is optional.
How do I fill in my own extra fields on a story?
More details shows the extra boxes your site added for stories, such as a price or an event date. You add these boxes in Settings.
How do I make a story a long read with chapters?
A long read gets a list of chapters and a reading progress bar on your site. The chapters come from the headings in your text.
How do I send a story for a legal check?
Send a story to your legal desk before it goes live, or put it on legal hold so it can never be deleted. Both are optional.
How do I add the lead image of a story?
The lead image is the main photo at the top of the story. It also shows on home page cards and when the story is shared.
How do I link to my other stories?
The panel Links to your other stories suggests your own older stories to link from this one. Readers stay longer and Google understands your site better.
How does my story show on Google and in AI answers?
Under the story text you see a preview of your story in Google. Change the title, the short summary and the web address people see there.
