Comms Hub, Juniper Websites, Communicate Module

Overview

This article explains how to edit an unpublished news item from the current academic year from your Juniper Website that has been sent to Comms Hub for publication to parents using the Juniper Education app. As part of the edit process, you can select which staff members and parent groups you want to send the news item to, rather than making it available to everyone. Within Comms Hub, you can edit the title and content of the news item. You can remove images, but not add images.

When you update a news item's title, content and images, it is updated in Comms Hub only and subsequently when published in the Juniper Education app. The title update is not synchronised back to the Juniper Websites CMS.

Prerequisites

• Your Juniper Website must be accessible through Juniper's Join Up platform (it is available for selection in your App Switcher), and you must subscribe to the Communicate module.
• Automatic Approvals for Newsletters in the Settings / Feeds / Approvals part of Comms Hub must be toggled off (disabled) if you want to manually approve newsletters in Comms Hub before they are published to the Juniper App. For further information, see Juniper Websites: How do I enable or disable the automatic approval of news and newsletters?
• You must have one of the following user permissions to edit a news item: Account owner, Account Admin or Full Edit.
• The news item must have been created in the current academic year. You cannot make changes to newsletters created in previous academic years.
