LiveArticle is a companion to your liveblog; the public sees it on top of the live feed. In the back end, it runs alongside the liveblog. A writer – or a group of writers – can click and drag any liveblog content into the live article, while adding their own text to weave all the pieces together. You can publish drafts of the article as you go. Collaborative publishing More than one writer can contribute to the same LiveArticle. You may have another reporter helping to contribute, or an editor checking what you’re doing and adding more context or links. You can choose at what point your article gets published out to the public. Same goes when you’re updating it. Click “preview” to see what the article will look like, and “publish” to send it out to readers. A popup will display the LiveArticle with all the recent changes highlighted, and ask you to confirm.
