Creating and editing posts

Creating and editing posts in the bugle learning management system is a simple process. All you have to do is write a post, choose your audience, and publish it. You can of course also write a draft post for editing and publishing at a later time. Learners will only ever see a post that you have published.

Another handy feature of the Posts feed, is that you can choose to draw attention to certain posts at certain times by designating a post as a Featured post, which will highlight that post on the page the learner will see.

To start creating and editing posts, click on the Connect icon in the sidebar to the left of your screen, and then click on Posts in the window that opens. This will take you to the Posts page, where you will see a feed of all the published and unpublished articles.
