Creating News Feed

From the default page, please open the Create a Page menu by clicking on the “+ Create page” button:

You will then be presented with this pop-up window:

News Feed

You should be familiar with this window via our Create a Page tutorial, which offers a good explanation to all the options in the Page Type dropdown menu. Before inputting the name of the page, please change the Type to “News Feed”:

Saving Changes

After changing the Page Type, you should see the title of the window change to “Create a News Feed” as below. You can now select a name for your page. We would recommend keeping it simple, such as “Articles” or “Blog Posts”.

You can hit “+ Create Page” to save your changes.

Page Status

You should receive a notification towards the top right of the screen to let you know the page has been successfully created, and you can find this new page in the default “Hidden” state at the bottom of your current pages.

You will need to toggle the visibility of this page by clicking on the word “Hidden”, and you may want to re-order this page to fit with your existing pages.
