📚 Building Your Article

An article is like a blank canvas, and you’re in full control of the content. Here’s how to start:

1. Open Article Studio:
   • From the sidebar menu, click on Article Studio.
   • Click on Create Article.
2. Add the Essentials:
   • Cover Photo: Click Add cover photo to upload an image for your article. This will appear as the main image when your article is published.
   • Title: Add a short, clear title for your article (this will appear in your article list).

🧱 Adding Content Blocks

Now it’s time to add the building blocks! Atobi gives you a range of options to create content that fits your needs:

1. Text:
   • Drag and drop a text block into your article, then start typing.
   • You can change text style, make it bold, italic, underlined, or even add links to other content.
2. Media (Images, Videos, GIFs):
   • Upload images, videos, or GIFs directly from your device or add them via external links.
   • Max file size: 500 MB for images and videos.
3. Attachments:
   • Add PDFs, files, or links directly into the article. Readers won’t need to download them—they can view them right from their device.
   • Max file size: 500 MB.
4. Article Linking:
   • Link to other articles by searching and adding a link directly within the article.
   • Note: When forwarding the article to external teams, article links will not appear.
