Enable Comments (Optional)

💬 Decide if you want to allow comments on your article. Enabling comments encourages engagement, letting members share feedback, ask questions, or start discussions.

Best Practice: If you’re looking for insights or feedback, keeping comments ON is a great way to spark conversation!

Add Viewers or Assignees

🎯 Choose who will interact with the article and what level of access they'll have:

Viewers 👀 – Can read the article.
Assignees ✅ – Can complete actions in the content.

How it works

If the article does not contain any actions, the audience will automatically be set as Viewers, and the Assignee option will be disabled. Since there's nothing to complete, everyone can only view the content.
If the article contains actions, the audience will automatically be set as Assignees, but you can manually choose to switch them to Viewers if needed.

When to use Viewers on an article with actions

Most of the time, if an article includes actions, you’ll want the audience to be Assignees so they can complete those actions.

However, in some cases, you might want certain people to be able to view the article without completing any actions — for example, if the content is informative only for them and their input isn’t needed.

👀 In this case, assigning them as Viewers means:

They can read the article, but the actions will be locked.
Their interaction will only count toward Reach, not Completion.

Best Practice: Use Assignees when the article contains any actions that require completion — and use Viewers only when the audience doesn't need to complete any actions.

Choose When to Publish

⏳ You can publish the article immediately or schedule it for later:

📌 Publish Now – The article will go live instantly. 🚀

📅 Schedule for Later – Pick a future date and time for automatic publishing.

👀 Important:

Notifications follow each member’s local time zone.

If an article is scheduled between 10 PM (22:00) and 8 AM (08:00), notifications will be delayed until 8 AM the following day to avoid disturbing members.

🎉 That’s It! Your Article is Live!

✅ Your article is now published, and your audience will receive it at the scheduled time. 🎯

💬 Members can read, comment, and complete actions, keeping your content engaging and interactive.

With Atobi, publishing articles is fast and efficient, ensuring the right content reaches the right people at the right time! 🚀
