Advanced Distribution Training: News & Events

Description
Advanced trainings build on the knowledge from the Basic Distribution Training and focus on specific areas or subjects. In this Advanced Distribution Training, we will focus News and Event features. We will walk users through the process of adding, editing and implementing news and event items on your site.
Notes
- Runtime: Approximately 1-2 hours
- Required for site editing access? No
- This training is optional, but should only be taken after you've completed the Web Content Strategy Training and the Basic Distribution Training.
- This training is conducted currently online only. Zoom information will be sent only to registrants on the day of the event.
- Please join the training promptly on time as a courtesy to the presenter and others that did join on time. 5 minutes after the training starts, it will be locked so others can't join. This is to avoid disruptions and allow the presenter to focus on the presentation rather than attendance.
