# How do I create a post in News?

### Create a post

From the app **News**, click the create post button.

#### Form fields

* **Title** (required, max. 60 characters)
* **Description** (optional, rich text editor)
* **Section(s)** : select one or more sections in which to publish
* **Media** : attach images, videos, GIFs, or PDF files
* **Poll** (optional): add a poll with multiple or single choice, anonymous or not
* **Event** (optional): associate an event date
* **Link preview** (optional): paste a URL to display an automatic preview

#### Publication options

* **Publish immediately** : the post is visible as soon as it is approved
* **Schedule** : choose a date and time for future publication
* **Likes** : enable or disable the ability to like (enabled by default)
* **Comments** : enable or disable comments (enabled by default)
* **Read receipt** : ask readers to confirm that they have read the post. See the article "How do I request a read receipt?".

#### Generate content with the AI assistant

When writing, the AI assistant can generate content for the post. Three modes are available:

* **Generate text** : produce a title and a description from an entered idea
* **Generate an image** : produce a cover image from a description, or directly **From the post** (the title and description already entered are then used as a basis)
* **Generate both** : produce the text and then an image consistent with this content

The result is displayed in preview: it can be regenerated, then inserted into the form. Image generation is subject to a daily limit.

#### Media constraints

| Type      | Max size | Accepted formats                                                      |
| --------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Images    | 10 MB    | GIF, HEIC, HEIF, JPEG, PNG, WebP                                      |
| Videos    | No limit | AVI, MP4, MPEG, QuickTime, WebM, FLV, M4V, Matroska, WMV              |
| Documents | 75 MB    | PDF (and other formats depending on the organization’s configuration) |

It is possible to attach multiple images (album), but videos cannot be combined with other file types.

### Pin a post

After creation, a post can be **pinned** at the top of a section with an expiration date for the pin. Only administrators and communicators can pin posts.

### Share a draft

A draft can be shared with other users so they can finish it and publish it under their name. See the article "How do I use shared drafts?".

### What the assistant can do

With the scope **News**, the assistant can create, edit, and manage posts and drafts.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.steeple.com/en/news/news-creer-publication.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
