Content Operations

This section explains various operations other than status changes.



▼ When the three-point menu is expanded

Information

The range of actions a user can perform varies depending on the settings of the assigned role (permissions).

(Example)
If the permission for "Show Developer Settings" is not granted in the "Developer Menu" section of the role settings, the API preview button will not be displayed.

1. Screen Preview

This feature allows you to preview content in draft status.
For more details, please refer to the page on "Screen Preview".

2. API Preview

This feature allows you to preview what the response will look like when the current content is retrieved via the API.
For more details, please refer to the page on "API Preview".

3. Change Content ID

You can change the content ID.
Clicking will open a modal window, so please set it to your desired ID. For details on setting the content ID itself, please refer to the page on "Setting Content ID".


4. Change Publication Date

You can change the publication date of the content (publishedAt).
Clicking will open a modal window, so please set it to your desired publication date. For more information about publication dates, please refer to the page on "Automatically Assigned Values to Content".


5. Change Creator

You can change the creator of the content.
Clicking will open a modal window, so please set it to your desired member.

Information
  • If you cannot find the member you want to set, it may be due to restrictions on permissions by the role feature. In that case, please check the settings with an administrator.
  • If the "Read" item under role settings for "Content" is assigned to "Only content created by members of this role" or "Only content created by myself", please be aware that changing the creator will alter the range of members who can read the relevant content.
  • You can also change it in bulk from the content list screen.

6. Check Update History

You can check the update (edit) history of the content.
For details on the feature, please refer to the page on "Content Update History".

7. Copy Content to Create New

You can copy the current content to create new content.
Clicking will take you to the new content creation screen (with the current content already filled in).

After that, edit the content as needed, and save it as a draft or publish it.

8. Schedule

You can set up the schedule for content publication start and end.
Clicking will open a modal window, where you can set the desired date and time in the publication start and end reservation fields.

Caution

For content that has a scheduled end of publication and also has a draft, the draft will be deleted simultaneously with the end of publication, so please be aware of this. In this case, the currently published value will be retained and will have an end of publication status.

Information

Service Settings allows you to enable restrictions on reserved content, which can limit operations such as adding or deleting drafts for reserved content.

9. Deletion

The relevant content will be deleted.

Display of Editing Members

Information

The display of editing members is a feature available in the Business and Enterprise plans.
For details on the features available for each plan, please refer to the pricing page.

If there are members editing the content, a notification saying "Other members are currently editing" will be displayed at the bottom of the screen, along with the member icons.

Caution

This feature uses WebSocket communication, so it may not be available if communication is blocked in your environment. Please unblock it if necessary.

Information

If the range of members who can view is restricted by permission management, the members currently editing will be displayed as "private users."
