Manual fix - poll question
I made an error in trying to change a function on a live poll. It reset the results back to 0. But I have the results at the time I made that error. Is it possible to manually restore the correct number with each choice?
Andy,
Unfortunately there isn't a way to edit the poll results.

Social Media Image
Is there a feature yet where you can add a different social media image? Most times what is posted is our Logo and we'd like to be able to create more engaging images.
Please submit a support ticket so that we can address this issue for you.

If we could drag and drop images from "Child Assets" to the "Teaser" section just like you can with the "Body Copy" section, it would help with workflow.
In fact, if you could do that with all relevant tabs, that would be nice. For my workflow, I need to add teaser photos and 9 time out of 10 that's the first child asset attached to the article. I know Social media and the website may automatically add the child asset on the website without needing a teaser, but it's best practice to do it anyway to avoid those awkward automatic crops the system sometimes does. As of now, I need to go into the child asset, copy the slug and then go to the teaser section where I have to "Copy from another asset," paste the slug and select it that way. This would really cut down on clicks if I could just simply drag and drop/

I want to focus a different image in a web story versus the print version, but I find that your system takes the top image used in the print version for the web. How do I change that?

I can't get my video to imbed
I placed this code in several different ways

How can I get this to work
Seeking advice for a workflow solution
We're looking at making move to a more streamlined content management and publishing system. I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terminology there. We're happy with Town News. But currently, we spend a lot of time at our organization discussing story ideas, assigning them, editing, etc. We're looking for a tool (Have I missed this as part of Town News' offerings?) where a writer can be assigned a story/or choose from a selection of topics, receive a deadline, submit the story, allow an editor to be assigned and then, ultimately, schedule a post to BLOX. Or some similar process. Is anyone familiar with a tool that will help us manage/automate the publishing workflow?
