Story Editing

Some parts of a republished story can be edited on your site. Other parts cannot be edited.

Once a story has been imported into your site, you can edit the title, excerpt, and featured image to better address your site’s readers.

The body of the story cannot be edited with the current version of the Newswire. This allows the body of the article to be automatically updated when the original author makes a change or correction.

Redirecting to Source Publication

In some cases you may want to link to a story without republishing its text within your own site. Oftentimes this is due to potential formatting issues that arise when trying to republish a highly visual story. You can redirect a user to a story’s original source by checking “Redirect to source URL” in the right-hand column of the imported post’s edit page.
