Web Articles let you republish a public webpage directly into News—perfect for sharing industry updates, blog posts, and more. Paired with the Social Sharing feature, they make it simple for users to share content with their networks and amplify your brand with just one tap.
To start creating a Web Article, tap on the + menu in News and select “Web Article”.
Paste the website URL into the alert window, then select “Continue”.
The content from the website URL will be added to a draft News item with attribution and a link to the original source.
From here, simply select a category and then tap the Publish button.
Social Sharing Metrics
Social Sharing metrics show which sharing links were selected when someone viewed a Web Article.
Social Sharing is default on when you create a new Web Article. This makes it easy for those viewing the item to share the same content into their personal Facebook, X, or LinkedIn accounts. To turn it off, hover over the item, open its settings, and select “Disable social media sharing”.
The imported content cannot be edited, but you can add Blocks above and below it to provide any context or followup you need.
Once published, those with Editing rights (Author and News Editors) can download the Social Sharing metrics. To access these metrics, open the item into the News viewer and tap Download Social Sharing Metrics.
Use these insights to recognize—or even reward—those who help amplify your messages through their networks.
News Editors can also download a full report of Social Sharing metrics across all published Web Articles. To download this report:
- Tap News in the main navigation
- Open the action menu (three-dot icon) in the top right corner
- From the dropdown menu, select Download Web Article Sharing Metrics
- Select a date range
These metrics show who shared what, when they shared it, and include metadata like location, department, and more.
