with a consistent identity

00:00:12

and if enabled a subscriber base

00:00:15

so you can publish regular editions without starting from scratch each time.

00:00:20

In your newsletter

00:00:21

from the edition section

00:00:23

you access the list of editions associated with the series

00:00:27

to start creating an edition,

00:00:29

select create edition.

00:00:32

This opens the select a template screen

00:00:34

where you can define the starting structure for your edition.

00:00:38

You can choose a blank template,

00:00:40

a preset template,

00:00:42

or a custom template if one is available.

00:00:45

This can save you time when structuring your content.

00:00:48

After selecting the template you want,

00:00:51

the save dialog box appears and allows you to

00:00:54

configure the edition before opening it in the editor.

00:00:58

Start by entering a clear title,

00:01:01

as this will make it easier to identify the addition in the list of additions

00:01:06

and in tracking information.

00:01:08

Next,

00:01:09

check the type of content being saved by opening the drop down list

00:01:14

and select edition to create an edition that can be published.

00:01:18

Finally,

00:01:19

make sure that the correct newsletter is

00:01:20

selected in the select newsletter drop down,

00:01:23

then select save to open the editor.

00:01:26

Once the edition is open,

00:01:28

you work in an authoring environment designed to

00:01:31

create a visual article with a header,

00:01:33

a title,

00:01:34

and a main content area.

00:01:37

Start by reviewing the title,

00:01:39

then adjust the header if necessary,

00:01:42

including the header image

00:01:44

to maintain consistency with the newsletter's identity.

00:01:48

You can then write your content in the designated area

00:01:52

which forms the body of the edition

00:01:54

and corresponds to what your readers will see in the email

00:01:57

to structure your edition,

00:01:59

use the layout controls available in the editor.

00:02:02

Including options for adding sections and components

00:02:06

to organize information into clear

00:02:09

readable blocks,

00:02:10

this approach helps you alternate shorter sections,

00:02:14

highlight key information,

00:02:16

and create a smooth reading experience on both desktop and mobile devices.

00:02:21

If you are working with others,

00:02:23

you can also add contributors to collaborate on the edition

00:02:27

while maintaining a consistent result when it is published.

00:02:31

Microsoft specifically describes editions as being organized into sections

00:02:37

where authors and contributors can collaborate.

00:02:40

When your content is ready,

00:02:41

move to the publishing step to prepare the edition for distribution.

00:02:46

You then access a publishing page that

00:02:47

brings together the key settings before sending.

00:02:51

Check the selected sender,

00:02:52

then enter recipients if you want to target a

00:02:55

specific audience or keep the option to send to subscribers

00:02:59

if your newsletter has a subscriber base.

00:03:02

Adjust the CC fields as needed

00:03:05

then check the visibility of the edition,

00:03:08

for example,

00:03:09

my organization

00:03:10

to make sure it matches your intended audience and privacy requirements

00:03:16

before publishing,

00:03:17

review the reader experience options,

00:03:20

including whether to display other editions at the bottom of the message

00:03:24

and whether to allow comments and reactions

00:03:27

as these settings affect how readers can interact with your content.

00:03:31

When everything is ready,

00:03:33

select send to publish and distribute the edition.

00:03:37

After publication

00:03:39

your edition appears in the newsletter's list of

00:03:41

editions as a card with its tracking information.

00:03:45

You can then open it to review the reader experience,

00:03:49

share it if necessary,

00:03:50

or prepare the next edition by creating a new edition.
