How to create a publication — step-by-step guide

What is a publication?

A publication is a shared space where several people publish blog posts, quizzes and flashcard sets under one name. Readers can follow a publication to see its latest content.

1. Create a publication

Go to Workspace → My Library → Publications and click New publication.

• Name: e.g. "Nixloom Team"
• Description: what the publication writes about
• Logo: optional

Click Create.

2. Invite members

Open the publication, go to the Members tab and click Invite. Search by username or exact email, choose a role under Invite as and send the invitation. People join once they accept it.

Roles

• Owner: created the publication and has full control
• Admin: manages members and can edit the publication's content
• Writer: publishes their own content in the publication

3. Publish content in it

In the Blog, Quiz or Flashcard editor, open Settings → Publication and choose the publication under Publish in. Choose Just me (no publication) to publish under your own name instead.

Show my name in the byline: when on, readers see both the publication and you as the author. When off, readers see only the publication.

Important: content you publish in a publication stays there even if you leave or are removed, and its owner and admins can then edit it.

4. Manage the publication

• Posts: see everything published in the publication. Remove from publication sends a post back to its author
• Members: change roles (Make admin / Make writer), remove members or cancel invitations
• Settings: edit the name, description and logo

Use View public page to see the publication as readers do.

5. Leave or archive

In Settings → Danger zone:

• Leave publication: your content stays in the publication, and you can no longer edit it
• Archive publication (owner only): the public page is removed and every post goes back to its author
