Writing and publishing pages
Area owners write and publish pages directly. Everyone else proposes: a new page with Propose a page, or a change to an existing page with Propose a change. Proposals go to the area owners, who review them in Proposals.
Write and publish a page
You need to be an owner of the area, an Owner or an Admin.
Steps
- In Nucleo, go to Brain > Knowledge > Pages, and select the area.
- Click New page. The editor opens.
- Write a clear title that says what the page is about.
- Write the summary: one or two sentences on what the page says and when someone needs it. It's shown in lists and search results, and Atomo uses it.
- Write the text. You can use headings, lists, tables, links and code.
- In Classification:
- Choose the Area.
- Choose the Type: Procedure, Policy, Guide, Reference, Decision, FAQ or Template.
- In Tags, type a tag and press Enter. Tags already in use are suggested.
- In Publishing:
- Optional: Pick a Publication date. A future date schedules the page: it goes live that morning. Leave it empty to publish when you click Publish.
- Optional: Pick a Review by date. The owner is reminded a week before.
- In Visible to, keep Same as area or choose Everyone, Employees only or Area owners only.
- In Owner, choose the person accountable for keeping the page true, or keep Area owners.
- Optional: In Related pages, search for pages to link.
- Do one of the following:
- Click Save draft to keep working on it later. Only the area owners see drafts.
- Click Publish, or Schedule for the date you picked.
Write a page in English and Italian
Every page can live in two languages: English (base) is the main text and Italiano is the translation. Tabs at the top of the editor switch between them, and a green dot shows which ones are filled in.
- Fill in what you can. Where the Italian version is missing, people reading in Italian see the English text.
- If you start an Italian version, give it a title too, or empty it completely.
Edit or archive a page
Steps
- Open the page.
- Do one of the following:
- Click Edit, change what you need, describe it in What changed (shown in the version history) and click Save.
- Click Archive to take the page out of use.
Propose a new page
If you don't own the area, propose the page to its owners.
Steps
- In Nucleo, go to Brain > Knowledge > Pages, and select the area.
- Click Propose a page.
- Enter a Title and the Text (Markdown).
- Optional: In Why (optional), explain where it comes from, for example a decision taken in a call.
- Click Send proposal.
The area owners are notified and find your proposal in Knowledge > Proposals.
Propose a change to a page
Steps
- Open the page you want to improve.
- Click Propose a change.
- In Your changes, edit the text.
- In Why, say where the change comes from or what was wrong or missing.
- Click Send to the area owners.
You can follow your proposal in Knowledge > Proposals. When an owner decides, the proposal shows Approved or Rejected, with their note if they left one.
Considerations for writing pages
- When you explain a rule, a procedure or a decision to Atomo that Knowledge doesn't have yet, Atomo offers to save it as a proposal for the area owners.
- A page whose review date is within 7 days, or past, raises a reminder to its owner, on the notification bell, on the Home board and in the morning email. It closes when you move the date forward, update the page with a new date or archive it. Pages without a review date never remind anyone.
- When a proposal is approved, everyone who can see the page gets a notification.
