Introduction to Creating and Sharing Articles
Articles in AcceleratorApp allow you to deliver valuable content to your community — from guides and updates to educational resources. You can enrich articles with images, videos, and file attachments, and share them through the Resources section or integrate them directly into Courses for a more structured learning experience.
Where to Find Articles
Access the Articles Manager from the sidebar menu. This is where you can manage existing articles, create new ones, and control how they are shared with your community.

Best Practices
- Structure your content clearly. Use headings, bullet points, and multimedia to make articles easy to scan and digest.
- Use access control intentionally. Restrict resources and courses access by role, program, or industry to make sure the right content reaches the right audience.
- Keep content up to date. Review and refresh articles regularly — outdated information undermines trust and engagement.
