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.

Next steps

  • Writing and publishing a post
  • Organizing posts with categories and tags
  • Blog SEO, sharing, and the RSS feed
