Creating a cover of a Dossier
Create a cover for a Dossier by inserting an image and adding text. The full range of Gutenberg blocks in the Purple Hub are available for designing the cover. The title is taken from the Dossier title you defined in the Dossier view (see paragraph above).
Managing Dossiers from an article
- You can see in the right-hand sidebar of your article which Dossier(s) your article belongs to.
- If your article belongs to multiple Dossiers, you will find all of them here.
- You can click on the Dossier's name to visit its overview page.
Preview
Generate a preview of a Dossier before it is published by clicking the 'Preview' button on the top bar in Purple Hub.
Publishing
Publish your Dossier via the Publishing dialogue/top bar in Purple Hub to make it visible to your audience. For being able to be published, a Dossier needs to contain a minimum of 1 published article.
Unpublished Posts are not getting published automatically when you publish a dossier. Instead, you will get a warning screen when you are publishing the dossier:
You can then directly open the posts and publish them if you want to or go ahead and publish the dossier without the draft articles. If the dossier contains scheduled articles, you will also receive the warning. Scheduled articles will automatically appear in the published dossier at their publishing time.
