Article list page

Listing Articles

At the top right of the Compose and Edit pages, just to the left of your name, you will see the Article List button . Clicking on this button will take your to the list of articles you have access to edit (generally your own articles, unless you have elevated privileges in the system, in which case you may see articles written by other users). You will also be taken to your article list page after composing articles or editing them.

Article Columns

The article list is actually a table: each row in the table corresponds to an individual article, and the table is divided into a number of columns:

Status

At the left side of each row you will see an icon indicating that article's release status, and if you hover your mouse over the icon you will see a short description of the state. The following states are currently visible in the article list:

• Released immediately. Articles in this state are currently visible in the feed they were added to.
• Hidden (not currently published). Articles in this state are not visible in the feed they were added to, but they can be made visible again by clicking on the Publish this article immediately option described below.
• Edited (not publicly visible). When you edit an article, the previous version is marked as 'Edited' and is no longer visible in the feed the article was added to. Previous versions of edited articles are retained by the system for reference.
• Draft article (never released) indicates that the article is a draft, saved as a work-in-progress in the system for later editing and publishing. Draft articles are never visible in the feed they are added to.
• Waiting for timed release. Articles in this state are not current visible in the feed they were added to, but will automatically become visible once the release time and date set for the article have passed.
• Released after timed release indicates that the time and date set for the release of this article have passed, and it is now visible in the feed.
• Deleted. Articles in this state are generally only visible immediately after deleting them; they will not normally appear in the Article List. Deleted articles can not be restored or edited.

Feeds

The next column is the list of feeds the article was published in: all articles must be published in at least one feed at creation, and this shows which feeds the article is, or will be, published in. As noted above, some states may modify whether an article is visible in a feed independently of the Visibility Levels set for the article.

If an article was published in more than three feeds, the article list will now 'fold up' the list of feeds the article has been published in: it will show the first two feed names and a N more... message indicating that the article has been published in an additional N feeds. If you want to see the full list of feeds an article has been published in, move your mouse over the list of feeds for the article and it will unfold the full list.

Article information

The third column contains the article's information: its subject, author, when it was created or updated, and the status of any notifications set up for the article. Clicking on the article title will take you to the edit page for that article. Hovering your mouse over any of the times in the information will show a tooltip containing the exact time:

Operations

The fourth column of the article list is not normally visible until you move your mouse over a row in the list. When you do this, a number of options appear at the right side of the page that allow you to modify the article in various ways:

• Edit this article is essentially the same as clicking on the article's title in the list: it takes you to the edit page for the article.
• Unpublish (hide) this article hides the article in the feed, but it can be made visible again using the Publish this article immediately option.
• Publish this article immediately make a currently invisible article appear in its feed. If the article is set for timed release, clicking this will override the delay and publish the article immediately.
• Delete this article marks the article as deleted. If you click this, the article will not appear in the feed and can no longer be edited or viewed.

Navigation

At the bottom right of each Article List page you will see a count of the number of pages of articles you can access, and Newer and Older buttons. As articles are sorted by time, clicking on the Older button will take you to pages containing successively older articles, while Newer will take you closer to the present.
