Publishing to Twixl

When connected to Twixl, Canvasflow automatically tracks the status of all your articles. They can exist in one of three states, these are illustrated by the publish button's colour in 'Article Manager'.

Publish States

The three possible article states are:

Unpublished: These articles have been created in Canvasflow, but do not currently exist on the Twixl platform. This is either because the article was never published, or the article has been unpublished at some point. Unpublished articles will always appear at the very bottom of 'Article Manager' in the 'Unpublished Articles' section.

Published (in sync): These articles are live on Twixl and the version in Canvasflow matches the version on Twixl.

Published (out of sync) :These articles have been created in Canvasflow, but an older version currently exists on the Twixl Platform. This is often the case when published content has been updated in Canvasflow but has not yet been re-published to Twixl in order to resync the live version.

From top to bottom: Green - Published (in sync), Yellow - Published (out of sync), Grey - Unpublished.

Publishing articles into a Twixl Collection

Articles can be published directly into a 'Collection'. Content will be published into the current folder as shown below.

Thumbnails

To make use of custom thumbnails, they must be uploaded to an article after it's been published to Twixl. If no thumbnail is selected, Twixl will use the first image in the article as the default thumbnail.

To add a thumbnail:

1. Find the content you want to add a thumbnail to.
2. Select the Edit menu.

3. Click Change Thumbnail and select the image.
