Create and manage program news

Programme news gives administrators a dedicated space to publish, organise and manage important programme communications.

Use it to share key updates, launch information, programme rules, FAQs, how-to guides, resources and any announcements your users need to know about. It helps keep communication clear, centralised and easy to access, while giving users a cleaner and more engaging way to view programme information.

Where users will see Programme news

Published articles are available from the Programme news area in the navigation menu, or by selecting Read more from the newsfeed.

Programme news articles are viewed from the Programme news dashboard and do not appear directly in the user’s newsfeed.

When a new Programme news article is published, users with receiving permission will be notified.

Recommended Programme news articles

Every programme should include a few key articles at launch to help users understand what the programme is, how it works and what they can expect.

We recommend creating the following core articles:

• Welcome to the programme
• Programme rules
• Programme FAQs
• How it works

You can also use Programme news whenever you need to share updates, explain changes, answer common questions or address a specific programme-related topic.

Only administrators can create, edit, publish, archive or delete Programme news articles.
