Locable's Community Content Engine makes building intra-linked content easy and this tutorial shows you how to create an "In This Issue" article as part of our Print-to-Web strategy and effectively leverage print to grow engagement.
Setting up your " In This Issue" article (ITI) is a CRITICAL aspect of the Locable Approach that makes it easy for your print readers to find additional materials on your website.
This short tutorial video will introduce you to the simple steps associated with leveraging the ITI process:

- Create your ITI article, include descriptive titles and issue introduction, and your digital edition (optional).
- Select In This Issue Option - Choose cover & select the tag used in step 1 as the issue-tag to pull in those articles and add this ITI article to your archives page.
- Promote article to the homepage and add the sidebar ITI graphic.
- Share to social media, email, etc
