Create a group

Editors can manage groups.

Groups are collections of stories around a particular topic. You can think of them as sections or aggregate pages. Groups organize stories in a simple reverse-chronological order by default. If you want to be able to place stories in particular slots within a group, we recommend turning it into a hub.

Create a group

  1. From your homepage, open Quick Admin > Groups.
  2. Select Create Group.
  3. If the group is part of a larger group, select a Parent group (e.g., USWNT is part of SB Nation’s larger Soccer group).
  4. Add the name and slug. We recommend avoiding a specific date or season in the slug; aim for something evergreen.
  5. If this group will eventually have subgroups, select Auto-add stories from subgroups to have subgroup stories added to this group. If you’re not sure if there will be any subgroups, skip this for now.
  6. Select Save.
  7. Now you can optimize the group.

Add stories in bulk

The group will 404 for audiences until you add published stories to it. If you want to add stories in bulk, you can do that in legacy Chorus:

  1. From your homepage, open Quick Admin > Groups.
  2. Find the group and select Curate this group.
  3. Copy and paste the full URL from each story, adding a line between each URL.
  4. Select Add to update the group.

Note: If you add stories with this legacy tool, the group label will not display within the story editor.
