Managing your online news content
- In Platinum, go to " Reports & Settings Maintenance Options Online Control Panel". This will take you to your online control panel.

- To amend or remove an existing article, click the Edit or Delete links next to the article.
Adding or amending a news article
- In "Title" type a short title or headline for the article. For Platinum Online users with a website, these are usually shown on the home page.
- In "Summary" type a summary of the article. This is also usually shown on your home page, and is also shown on your "Virtual Showroom" screen-saver.

- Click [Update] when you are done.
