What are news categories?
Categories are used as filters. Users can search for categories and find your news faster.
You can also use categories as a news source for the news macros.
Furthermore, categories can be displayed in the news macros, so they also can serve as a label & a quick info about the news.
Assign a category to a news article
Enter the edit mode of a blog post.
At the very top of the page, you will find a collapsable menu.
Click on the Additional information for this blog post button to expand this menu.
Navigate to the Schedule publication tab.
On the right side you will find the Assign blog post section and within the Categories section.
Enter the categories you want to use for this article. Clicking in this field will open a dropdown menu which contains all categories available.
Please note that standard Confluence macros or macros of other third party plugins which display blog posts will not display or interact with our categories.
