Step 5: Backdate the post (only if it’s on old report)
On the top right corner in the Publish box, select edit next to “Publish Immediately” and change the date to the date on your letter
. 
This will backdate the page in our Resources page feed so this content will not appear as current.
This is a very important step, please make sure you set it to the right date.
Step 6: Tag & Publish
Lastly we need to make sure this letter is tagged correctly.
There are 3 tags Issue, Campaign & Types they all can be found on the right panel of the page.
Types: Research and Reports
Issue: Choose from the options listed.
DO NOT ADD AN ISSUE AREA, every issue area you need is already listed for you. If you are sure which issue to choose, skim through the document for clues or ask someone for help.
Campaign: Choose from the options listed, if you do not see your campaign listed you may add the campaign as long as it’s an official campaign title. If none of the above apply, do not select a campaign. Campaign tag is not necessary.
PUBLISH: Finally once you have previewed your content and you think it looks great, if you have the authority you can hit the publish button. If you would like some on to review your work before publishing save as a draft and then send the back-end link to the approver.
