"My Newsroom" is the section within myconvento where you can manage and control your dedicated press area. While the "All News" section is used for creating, editing, and publishing individual news items, "My Newsroom" focuses on the overall presentation: how your newsroom is accessed, how it is displayed, and which content is visible there.
The newsroom can be accessed via a direct link or embedded into an existing website. This allows you to establish a dedicated press area without the need to maintain news items in multiple places; content created and published in myconvento can be displayed centrally within the newsroom.
What is "My Newsroom" used for?
"My Newsroom" serves as the management hub for your public or embedded press area. Here, you can check the newsroom's appearance, verify its active status, and see how it will be accessed.
A newsroom is particularly useful if you regularly share press releases, corporate news, images, documents, or other media content. It provides journalists, partners, and other interested parties with a central point of access for both current and past publications.
Instead of simply emailing individual news items or manually uploading them to a website, you can manage your news within myconvento and make it visible via the newsroom.
Key sections
The "My Newsroom" area offers three main entry points: "Preview", "Settings" and "View Newsroom".
The "Preview" shows you how the newsroom currently looks. You can check which content is visible and ensure the layout meets your expectations. The preview is especially helpful before you link to the newsroom or embed it into a website.
The "Settings" section allows you to configure the newsroom. This is where you manage details such as active status, language, company information, logo, content elements, colors, layout, and integration options. We cover these settings in greater detail in a separate help article.
Selecting "Open Newsroom" opens the newsroom itself. This is the view that external visitors will see, provided the newsroom is active and publicly accessible. This function is ideal for a final check from the target audience's perspective.
Note on Clients
If your myconvento account handles multiple clients, the newsroom can be managed on a per-client basis. This means that settings, content, and layout may differ depending on the client.
Therefore, ensure you are working within the correct client account. This is particularly important when different business units, brands, clients, or locations maintain their own press sections. Making changes in the wrong client account could result in modifying a newsroom other than the one intended.
Using the Preview
The preview is the best starting point for checking the current state of your newsroom. Here, you can see which content is displayed and how the newsroom is structured.
Regularly check whether current news items are visible, the navigation is intuitive, and key information can be found quickly. It is especially worthwhile to perform this check before publishing content or embedding the newsroom on a website.
If content is missing, the issue does not necessarily lie with the newsroom itself. In such cases, verify that the specific news item has been approved, is active, and is designated for display in the newsroom.
Accessing the Newsroom
Selecting "Access Newsroom" opens the actual newsroom view. This view is important because it shows how the newsroom appears outside of the editing interface.
Use this function to review headlines, navigation, the news list, images, documents, and contact details. You should thoroughly check this view, especially if the newsroom is being embedded publicly or linked externally.
Distinction from the News Overview
"My Newsroom" is not the same as the news overview. In the news overview, you manage individual news items: searching for, editing, copying, publishing, or deleting posts.
In "My Newsroom," by contrast, you manage the framework in which these news items will appear. Here, you review not just individual pieces of content, but the entire press section.
Summary
"My Newsroom" is the central management area for your press section within myconvento. Here, you can check the preview, open the public newsroom view, and access the settings. Individual news items continue to be managed in the news overview. "My Newsroom" ensures that this content is collected and displayed in a dedicated press area, and can subsequently be made available via a link or by embedding it on a website.
