Publish or Unpublish a News Flash Item

Prev Next

Important Notes:

  • If you set a start date and time for an item, it will not be sent out or published until then. Once it reaches that start date and time, it will automatically publish.

  • A category must be published and have at least one published News Flash item before it shows on the live site. If it still does not show, check that it is related to the correct page or pages.
