What are the story settings?

In this story

Where: Stories → All stories → The story editor

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/articles (replace <your-site> with your site address). Then open the one you want.

Where to find it

On a laptop, Story settings is the first card in the right-hand column. On a phone or tablet, tap Story settings under the story, then Done when you finish.

Where it shows and who wrote it

  1. Pick the Main section. Readers find the story there, for example Sports.
  2. Optional: add More sections if it also belongs elsewhere.
  3. Check the Byline. Tap Use me as the author to put your own name on it.
  4. Optional: add Tags, short topic words such as a city or a team name.
  5. The ticks under these boxes show what is still missing. Tap a line to jump to it.

Extra text for cards and apps

  1. Short headline: a shorter title for home page cards, alerts and apps. Up to 90 characters.
  2. Teaser: a line or two to make people tap the card or the shared post.
  3. Dateline: the place the story comes from, for example "Patna".
  4. Leave any of them empty to use your headline and summary.

More Google and sharing options

  1. Open More Google and sharing options only if you need it. Most stories never do.
  2. Add extra search words, hide the story from Google, or set the picture shown when the story is shared.

Good to know

  • Only the main section and one author are needed to publish.
  • Everything here can be changed after publishing.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a section and a tag?

A story lives in one main section, like a shelf. Tags are short labels that link stories on the same topic across sections.
