Figure 1 - Example of the News Update window
To view a news item, right-click on the blue Title link to open the drop-down menu, then select View News Item. A viewing window opens.
To edit a news item, right-click on the blue Title link to open the drop-down menu, then select Edit News Item, or just click on the link. An editing window opens (go to Adding a News Item for more information).
The "Date of last email sent" column contains either 'Never' if the news item has never been sent via email, or the date/time it was last sent.
To send a news item via email, click on the 'Never' link (or the date/time) for the new item. This displays an overlay previewing what will be sent to the subscribed users. Note that the news item cannot be edited from this preview. Clicking Send news via email will create a new task that will send the email to all subscribed users. A confirmation dialog appears and must be confirmed before the task is initiated.
It is possible to send emails to active and non-active news items. It is possible to send the same news item multiple times, and every time it will be sent to ALL subscribed users.
In the event you need to add the same news items to multiple sites, you can copy the entire contents of the news item to your clipboard and then paste it into a different site (go to Adding a News Item for more information).
