N-01
Written where you stand
The editors open in place on the front end, so publishing an article does not mean hopping into the WordPress dashboard and back out again.
When something matters, everyone sees it
Everything the company announces lives in one news feed. When something cannot wait, write an urgent banner and it scrolls across the top of every screen until the moment you choose. A message that needs a refresh is not urgent, so it arrives on its own.
It turns up without being asked
Post it, and it is on the screen in the office and the phone in the van. Set the moment it should stop and it takes itself down, so nobody is still reading about last Tuesday's car park closure in March.
- Aim it at a department, so the warehouse is not reading the sales rota.
- Email the whole team with one tick box, if it is genuinely that sort of announcement.
- New files and articles collect under a bell in the top bar. Open it and you get the list itself rather than a number, and clicking a row opens that item.
News for the things that are not an emergency
Very little deserves a banner. The news feed takes everything else: the new starter, the shutdown dates, the change to the returns process that you will otherwise explain four separate times before Friday.
N-02
Pointed at the right people
Send an article or a banner to the departments it concerns. The rest of the team is left alone, which is how they keep reading the ones that do reach them.
N-03
A bell, and a list behind it
Anything posted while somebody had the workspace open collects under a bell. The list survives a refresh, and each row opens the thing it is about.
N-04
Into inboxes when it has to be
If it really does need to land in email as well, one tick box sends it to the whole team.
N-05
Say when AI wrote it
A tick box puts a small “AI info” tag beside the date. Readers click it and are told plainly that some of the text or images may have been generated rather than written by a person. It stays off until you turn it on.
N-06
Its own expiry
Give an urgent banner the moment it should stop and it stops then. Nobody has to remember to take it down.
N-07 / plans
Which tier holds what
The news feed, the urgent scrolling banners in your own colours, and emailing an article to everyone all come with Standard. The free Starter tier is the file library on its own.
Other drawers in the same cabinet
F-01
File library
Folders that behave like folders, previews in the browser, and a search that reads what is printed inside the documents.
F-03
People and contacts
A staff directory, invites by email, and a book of the outside numbers everyone keeps losing.
F-04
Security and access
Its own login, download links that expire, and locks checked on the server rather than hidden with CSS.
F-05
Analytics and the Command Centre
One admin screen for files, folders, people, news and every setting, with the figures alongside.
Stop sending it round as an attachment
Put it somewhere everyone can see it, including the people who never open email until Thursday. The news feed comes with Standard; the file library underneath it is free.
