Function and Purpose
Articles form the core of a Joomla site. They are the individual articles displayed in the frontend. In articles you can embed text, images, videos and other media to provide content to your visitors.
Structure and Organization
Each article is assigned to exactly one category. Categories can be structured hierarchically to organize a blog, news section or other content. Articles can also be tagged with tags to connect them thematically.
Publishing and Versions
- Status: Articles can be published, unpublished or archived.
- Versioning: The versions feature lets you save and restore previous states of an article.
- Featured articles: Mark an article with the star icon to mark it as a featured article.
Important Notes
- SEO: Pay attention to meaningful titles, aliases and metadata to achieve good visibility in search engines.
- Media: Use the media manager to upload images and files used in articles.
- User permissions: Use user groups and access control (ACL) to control who can create, edit or publish articles.
