Getting started with the blog
An overview of the Blog module — where to find it, what the dashboard shows, and how posts move from draft to published.
Overview
The Blog module lets you write long-form content for your project and publish it to your public portal. Use it for announcements, deep dives, customer stories, or anything that doesn't fit into a release note.
Find it under Content → Blog in the sidebar. Blog is scoped to a single project, so make sure the correct project is selected before you start writing.
What the blog dashboard shows
The page is split into two tabs, each with a counter next to its name:
- Posts — every post in the project, with search and filters.
- Categories — the categories readers can browse by.
Above the posts list you'll find summary cards for Total, Published, Drafts, and Featured, each with a small trend sparkline.
Finding a post
The posts list has three controls that combine:
- Search — matches on title, content, and tags.
- Status — Draft, Published, or Scheduled.
- Category — narrow to one category.
Post statuses
Every post is in exactly one of three states:
- Draft — visible only inside the dashboard. This is where every new post starts.
- Scheduled — has a publish date and time set. It stays private until that moment arrives.
- Published — live on your public portal and included in the RSS feed.
You can move a post between states at any time, including unpublishing something that is already live.
Where posts appear
Published posts are served from your project's public portal at /blog, with each post at /blog/your-slug. If you have a custom domain configured for the project, posts are served from that domain instead.
The public blog also offers readers a search box, a Subscribe to updates option, and an RSS feed.
Permissions
The Blog page requires the blog:view or blog:* scope. If Blog is missing from your sidebar, ask an organization owner or admin to check your role.
