THE LATEST

What's new for editors

Profile position titles

It's back! You can once again add a position title to profiles on your commission page. 

The person's position will appear above the their name. Their job title will still appear below their name. To edit the job title, you must go into the profile to make changes.

Social media and contact info on profiles

Social media handles and email addresses on profiles now show on mobile. 

PUBLISHING TIPS

Best practices

Descriptions

Write descriptions and summaries that explain more about the action the user wants to do. Summaries often show up in search results, so explain why someone should open that page. But, keep your summary shorter than 110 characters, as search engines cut off text unpredictably. Include important words in the front. 

See the following examples:

What we're reading

In the Public AI

As AI becomes more common in our everyday interactions with private sector entities, it is also increasingly relevant for the delivery of public services by federal, state and local governments.

Hope to see you on Teams! Happy editing!
