How to create an Article

📌 Notice: Atobi's Articles connect people to the information, requirements, and actions they need to move your business forward. An Article is any content you are building and publishing in your organization.

An Article is composed of a set of building blocks 🏗️ that gives you the flexibility to create what you need, such as product training, announcements, campaign roll-outs, and more.

Creating an article is really easy! Your needs are (almost) the only limit to what you want to share with members of your organization.

Creating your article

Every article is a fresh canvas where you can add whatever blocks you want. Working with articles, you have these options available:

  1. 🧱 Building the content.
  2. 🗣️ Add language variations of the article.
  3. 🧑‍🎨 Add collaborators that can help with building content and/or translating.
  4. 🧑🏿‍🤝‍🧑🏻 Define the audience of the article
  5. 📲 Publish the article.
  6. ⏩ Forward a copy of the article to external teams.

Let's go through the steps together 😊

🧱 Build the Content

  1. Click on “Article Studio" from the sidebar menu.
  2. Click on “Create Article”.

Notice: You must have been granted permission to access the Article Studio. If you don’t see Article Studio, contact your local administrator.

Now that your white canvas is open, you can add what you need.

  • Click on “Add cover photo" to add the main image of your article. This image will be shown to your audience once the article is published
  • Add a Title. The title of the article will also be the name you’ll see in the list of articles

🎔 Tip: The best-performing titles are short, positive, and straight to the point.

From this point onward, add the blocks that you need. Such as text, video, or actions. You can add blocks from the Block Panel; either by clicking on the block or by drag and dropping it.

  • Text
    • Once you have decided on the starting style, drag the block where you need it to be, and start adding your text.
    • Worry not: if you selected the wrong style, you can change it from the text block itself
    • Inside the text block, you can play a little more with the text and make it bold, italic, underlined, or connected to a link.
  • Media
    • Image
    • Video
    • Gifs

All the 3 of them can be uploaded from your device, or added as an external link.

Maximum image and video size that can be uploaded is 500mb.

  • Attachments: Embed files, links etc. directly in the article. When your audience will read it, they are not required to download it but can easily read it from their devices. You can add the following:
    • PDF
    • File
    • Link
    • Article linking (search for other articles and add a direct from one article to another)

Note: If you added an article linking block and forwarded the article to an external team, the article linking will not appear.

Maximum file size that can be uploaded is 500mb.

🎬 Actions

This is where the power of Atobi's Articles really shines. Actions are a way to add to-dos, document requirements, ask questions, test knowledge, keep track of roll-outs, and much more.

  • Task: Confirm and track if tasks are done. This is like a simple to-do.
  • Media Task: Get visual confirmation of how it looks. Request store staff to share images of how something looks.
  • Quiz: Use this for Multiple choice and check the knowledge level of the store staff
  • Open Question: Use this to get various input and feedback on relevant topics
  • Yes/No Question: This can be used both as a simple quiz or checklist
  • Poll: This lets you gather feedback and opinions from your team. Polls enable members to respond with minimal effort, increasing the chances of participation.

For each action, you can add deadlines, define who should complete them, and determine if members' answers should be private or not. You can learn more about Actions here.

Actions can also be set as Sequential or Recurring, make sure to understand how each setup works.

Tip: If you are creating a product recall, add a Task with a deadline and easily track when the task has been completed in each store. 

The list of Actions available is constantly expanding, so keep an eye out for this list to be updated. If you need a specific type of action, write us an email to help@atobi.io explaining what kind of action you have in mind, and a real-life example of how this can be useful for you!
