Editing your content has never been easier!  We've completely revamped the desktop process to curate the current edition of your paper, making it easier to quickly delete, blacklist (a news spotter or site), reposition articles, and reassign the articles to another section.

 

On your marks, get set....Enter Edit Mode!

To begin, be sure you are signed into your paper in order to see the edit bar below.  Then, to view all editing icons described in this article, click on "edit"  from the edit bar.

Once in edit mode, the bar turns red, and you will notice new editing icons.

 

  New! Delete content with one click! 

Deleting and blacklisting have never been easier!  We've simplified the process by adding

deletion and blacklisting icons found on the top right of articles, videos and photos.  To view these editing icons , be sure to be in "edit mode".

 Delete article for that edition only!  Zap it with the x! 

 Blacklist the news spotter who shared the news!  Blacklisting the news spotter will prevent us from fetching any further content from that user for the current and future editions of your paper.  

 Blacklist the news source itself!  Blacklisting the news source itself will block a URL from appearing on current and future editions of your paper.  This button is not found for videos.

 

Reposition your content 

Once in "Edit mode", you have two easy ways to reposition content on your Paper.li:

*  New! Drag and Drop 

Whenever you see the drag-and-drop icon   in the top left corner of an article, you can drag the article to another position, either within that section or to another section (if on the front page).    To drag an article, video or photo into another position, move your pointer to the drag and drop icon, and click and drag the article, video or photo to the desired position.

Front page view

You can drag and drop articles to reposition them within topics or the headline section and you can even move an article from one topic section to another on the front page. 

However, videos and photos may not be moved outside of their sections.  For example, it is not possible to move a video to the photos or to a topic section.  It is also not possible to move an article to a trending hashtag section, since trending hashtags represent a calculated result.

Topic view

If you are viewing the articles from a topic view, you may reposition the articles withinthat topic by dragging and dropping them to their desired position.  (You may also reassign the article to a new topic using the drop down menu for the topic.  See below.)

If topic article(s) are shown in your headlines on the home page, they will be in the top positions in your topic view.  These headline articles can not be re-positioned.  Headline re-positioning must be done on the home page.  

All Articles view

If viewing your articles from the All articles view, you can also move your articles around and prioritize them as you wish (or reassign them to a new topic section using the drop down menu for the topic.  See below.)  

Note that the drag-and-drop icon  will not appear on any headline articles.  These articles may not be repositioned from the All articles view.

* Promote (and demote) to/from Headlines

Articles (videos and photos may not be moved to the Headlines section) have an up and/ordown arrow  , depending on their position. The arrows can be used to quickly move an article you find to-and-from the Headline section of your paper.  

Using the up  arrow moves the article to the Featured Article (first article) within the Headline section. Once the article has been promoted to the Featured Article, you can use the drag and drop method to reposition the articles as you wish within the headline section.

Using the down  arrow removes the article from the headline section and places it back in the topic section from where it came.

Topic and All articles view

The up  arrow will be found on any article (except for articles already in the headline section).  You won't see the down   arrow if viewing articles on the topic view or All articles view because you can only remove an article from the headline section while viewing the front page.  

  

 New! Reassign articles to another topic

When viewing articles from the All articles view or  topic view, you may reassign articles to another existing topic in your paper using the drop down arrow.  

 

 

All done?  Don't forget to exit edit mode by clicking on "done editing" on the edit bar. 

 

   Oops!  Have you accidentally blacklisted someone or a site -or- maybe you have changed your mind?  You can lift the block at any time by deleting the blacklisted person or site from your blacklist list found in your paper settings.
