# Blog Posts

> Blog posts are pages of type BLOG — they have the same rich editing capabilities as standard pages and automatically appear in the Intranet feed when published.

A blog post is a page with its type set to `BLOG`. It lives in a Space like any other page and has access to the full rich-text editor — images, callouts, tables, code blocks, and embedded content. The difference is visibility: when you publish a blog post, it automatically appears in the Intranet feed for everyone who has access to that Space.

You write blog posts the same way you write standard pages. Collabase handles the routing to the feed automatically.

## Creating a blog post

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your Space">
    Navigate to the Space where you want to publish the post. Use a Space with `INTERNAL` visibility if the post is meant for the whole organization, or a `PRIVATE` Space if it is for your department or team only.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Docs">
    Click **Docs** in the Space sidebar to open the page tree.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new page">
    Click **New Page**. In the page creation dialog, set the **type** to **Blog**. Give the page a clear, descriptive title.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write your post">
    Use the editor to write your content. Blog posts support all the same formatting as standard pages — headings, bold and italic text, bullet lists, numbered lists, tables, images, callouts, code blocks, and more.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish">
    When your post is ready, open the **Status** menu at the top of the page and set the status to **Published**. The post immediately appears in the Intranet feed for all users with access to the Space.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Write in `DRAFT` status while you are working. Only set the status to `Published` when the post is ready to be seen. Drafts do not appear in the Intranet feed.
</Tip>

## Pinning a post as an announcement

Announcements are pinned posts that stay at the top of the Intranet feed, above the chronological list of regular posts. Use them for time-sensitive, high-visibility communication.

To pin a published blog post:

1. Open the post in the editor or the Intranet feed.
2. Open the context menu (the **···** button next to the post title or in the feed card).
3. Select **Pin to Intranet**.

The post moves to the announcements section at the top of the feed immediately.

<Note>
  You must have at least **Editor** permissions in the Space to pin or unpin a post. Viewers cannot manage announcement pins.
</Note>

## Unpinning and archiving

**To unpin an announcement** without removing it from the feed, open the context menu and select **Unpin from Intranet**. The post returns to its chronological position in the regular feed.

**To remove a post from the feed entirely**, change its status back to `DRAFT` or set it to a non-published status. The post remains accessible inside the Space but no longer appears in the Intranet feed.

<Warning>
  Archiving or unpublishing a post removes it from the feed for all users — including those who may have bookmarked the announcement. Make sure the content is no longer needed before depublishing.
</Warning>

## Using Automation with blog posts

You can trigger automations when a blog post is published. For example, automatically notify a Slack channel or send an in-app notification to a distribution list when a new post goes live.

See [Automation — Overview](/automation/overview) to set up a workflow, or [Automation — Triggers](/automation/triggers) for the available event triggers.
