Comms Hub: How do I edit a newsletter?

Comms Hub, Juniper Websites, Communicate Module

Overview

This article explains how to edit the title of an unpublished newsletter from the current academic year from your Juniper Website that has been sent to Comms Hub for publication to parents using the Juniper Education app.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 newsletter to, rather than making it available to everyone. Newsletters are published in PDF format; therefore, only the title can be edited in Comms Hub. 

When you update the title, it will only be updated in Comms Hub 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 newsletter: Account ownerAccount Admin or Full Edit.
  • The newsletter must have been created in the current academic year. You cannot make changes to newsletters created in previous academic years.
