Publish and manage news articles

For organization admins and assigned landlords. Use News & Updates for a longer article. Use Announcements for a timed operational notice.

Create an article

1. Open News & Updates and choose Create Post.
2. Choose the buildings that should receive it. A selected sidebar building is preselected; All Buildings does not select every building automatically.
3. Add the category, title, short summary, and article body.
4. Optionally add a cover image, attachments, and a call-to-action link.
5. Choose whether to show the author name and whether to also send email. If sending email, check the audience.
6. Review the full article, buildings, files, author, and delivery choices.
7. Publish.

News articles publish now. There are no drafts or scheduled news posts. A saved modal input is not a published article.

Without a cover image, Sicket displays a decorative placeholder on cards. Attachments are separate from the cover image.

Read or edit an article

Open its card to read it. Staff with permission can use the article’s actions menu to edit it. Editing does not automatically send the original email again.

The building audience shown to a reader is limited to buildings they can access. Tenants see their own building, not an unrelated building’s name.

Archive and find an article again

1. Open the article and choose Archive from its actions menu.
2. To find it later, open News & Updates and switch from Published to Archived.
3. Open the archived article. Choose Restore if it should be published again.

Archiving removes an article from resident feeds; it does not permanently delete it. Use the archive rather than looking for a delete or draft section.

Clear unread indicators

Use Read all on News & Updates when you have finished checking the current updates. Read state is personal; it does not mark the article read for other users.

Never include private resident details in an article intended for a building audience.
