Create and open articles

Create a new article in the Content Editor in censhare Web with a standard content structure.

Introduction

To start to edit your content, create a new article or open an existing one in censhare Web. Typically, an existing article is assigned to you for editing.

To create a new article, we recommend that you always use an article template. Article templates contain predefined settings, styles, metadata and sample content that simplifies editing. Templates ensure that the look & feel of articles is consistent and adheres to the style guidelines of your company. Your censhare administrator has already taken care of that.

Standard articles are based on the Standard Content Structure (SCS). The structure is included in censhare making the creation and editing of articles and content easier from the beginning.

Prerequisites

censhare already provides the necessary assets with the necessary asset structure. Your censhare administrator has already adjusted this standard structure and created the necessary article templates that satisfy the needs of your company. There can be several article templates available in your system.

The Content editor is preconfigured for each of these templates. The appropriate document structure of your article is already provided so that you can create and edit your content right away.
