Groups and hubs are used to create collections of stories. You can add stories to them, and then determine how they’ll publish on those pages.
Add a story to groups or hubs
- From the Compose screen, go to Tags.
- Enter the group name in the Group field.
- You can also select Browse groups to see a list of all of groups within your community, as well as the parent and subgroup structure.
- When you select a group, some parent groups may also be selected, based on your site settings. For example, selectingThe Sopranos could also add TV Shows to a story.
- Select Close or hit escape to close the menu.
- For hubs, you'll also be able to select a placement slot for your story.
Remove a group by selecting it. Reorder groups by removing and re-adding them.
Add a story to a super group
Super group authors on Eater, SB Nation, or Chalkbeat communities can add stories to super groups for their network.
Super groups allow stories from multiple communities to be shared on a single page. For example, Eater has a Taco Bell super group that features stories about Taco Bell from various communities within the network.
To add a super group to a story:
- From the Compose screen, go to Tags.
- Enter a super group name in the search field, or select Browse super groups to see all of the options.
- Select Close or hit escape to close the menu.
How group and hub information appears on stories
If your site displays group labels, they'll appear at the top of the story. That way when audiences select the group tag, it will take them to more stories within that group, improving discovery.
You can change the order of the labels by going back to the Tags section in Compose, and then removing and re-adding groups in the order you want. Depending on your site settings, some groups may always display regardless of the order they were added.
Note: If a group has a title image (like Mossberg on The Verge), the image will only display on a story if the group is set to primary. Group labels are disabled on Vox.com.
Your organization has the option to make group information appear on stories in different ways. This is useful for driving discovery of more content, so that audience members who land on one story can easily navigate to other stories within the group.
