Introduction

How to run your newspaper on PublishMe — written for the job you do.

This manual follows the dashboard: each page here has the same name as the screen it explains, and the ? button at the top of a dashboard screen opens the right page.

Who are you?

Pick your role in the newsroom and the manual shows the pages for what you can do.

If you're a reporter#

You write stories and hand them to an editor, who puts them live. That second pair of eyes is the point: nothing you write goes out unchecked.

Open the invitation email, set your name and password, and you're in. See Your account.
Go to Articles → New article. Write the headline and the story and add a picture — it saves as you type.
When it's ready, press Submit for review and your editors are told. (Review is on the Pro plan; on other plans, leave the story as a draft and tell your editor.)
While a story is with the editors you can't change it. Press Back to draft if you need to.

Write your first storyHeadline, picture, section — and off to your editor.ArticlesYour drafts, filters, tags and version history.Media libraryUpload pictures once, use them anywhere.

If you're an editor#

You decide what goes live. You edit and publish your reporters' stories, run breaking news and the ePaper, and keep sections and bylines in order.

Home shows what's waiting: the Needs review tab lists the stories reporters sent you, oldest first.
Open one, fix what needs fixing, and press Publish — or Schedule it for a time.
Upload today's print edition under ePaper, check the pages and publish it.

If you're an admin#

Everything an editor does, plus how the site looks and runs: appearance, languages, domains, ads, integrations, settings and the team.

If you're the owner#

You can do everything an admin can, plus the plan and billing. Only an owner can pay, change the plan, or make someone else an owner.

Admins and owners also see the Developers pages: feeds, embeds and how content is stored.

When you're stuck#

Every page ends with Was this page helpful? — tell us what was missing and we fix the page. For anything urgent, write to [email protected].

Reading this in Hindi#

Every page is also in Hindi: press हिन्दी at the top right. The dashboard's Help button opens the Hindi page when your dashboard is in Hindi.
