Managing Blog Entries

Bloggers and blog administrators manage blog entries using the Blogs application in the Site Administration menu. To access this app, open the Product Menu (Product Menu) and select Content & DataBlogs.

The Entries tab is selected by default, which lists the site’s blog entries. Use the management bar to manage your site’s blog entries.

Finding and Arranging Blog Entries

The management bar also contains tools that help you locate and arrange blog entries (e.g. use the search bar to find files by keywords).

To the left of the search bar, the Sort button (Sort button) arranges entries in ascending or descending order.

Click Filter and Order to sort entries using these criteria:

View Types

The View Types button is to the left of the Add button. Users can choose how to display the blog entries in the Blogs app. The View Types button’s icon depends on the selected view type:

  1. Click Actions (Actions menu) for the entry you want to share → Share.

  2. Enter the email address of the collaborator. You can enter multiple addresses.

  3. To let receiving users share the entry, check Allow the item to be shared with other users.

  4. Grant users a sharing permission to define what invited collaborators can do with the blog entry: Update (view, comment, and update), comments (view and comment), or view (view only).

  5. Click Share.

Share a blog entry via its Actions menu.
