Sending as a newsletter

Email delivery requires newsletters to be enabled and a newsletter with subscribers. Newsletters with no subscribers cannot be selected, but you can still publish to your website without email. You can manage these in Newsletter settings. For Paid members only articles, only active paid members subscribed to the selected newsletter receive it. The email’s View in browser link appears only when the article is published on your website. Links included in the article content remain in the email. You can also send an article later: after publishing, click Send as newsletter in the editor. Learn more about sending newsletters.
Email only sends a draft without publishing it on your website. For an already-published article, it sends the email without republishing or unpublishing the web article. An article that has already been emailed cannot be sent again.

Updating published articles

You can edit a published article at any time. Changes are saved automatically in the editor, but your live website stays unchanged until you click Publish changes. Updating the web article does not change an email subscribers have already received.

Unpublishing an article

To remove an article from your website, open the ••• menu in the editor and select Unpublish. You can continue editing it and publish it again later. Unpublishing does not recall any emails already sent to subscribers.
