How can I export posts together with their parent stories and topics?

Content from your topic structure in Scompler can be exported to Word in order to discuss selected stories and articles with colleagues who are not involved in your project. Classic newsletters are a good example of such use cases. In newsletters, stories are often developed whose articles have already been published in other channels and with other content types such as social media, press releases, magazines, podcasts, etc. These articles can be exported together with their text and the associated stories and topics, giving you and your team a clear overview of which articles can be included in the newsletter.

Exporting articles to Word

To export articles to Word, go to the Topics view or the Content section and set the filters so that the desired articles are displayed. Expand the stories and topics, display the articles, and click the white box next to the “Edit” column to select the articles.

As soon as you select more than one article, the following functions will appear at the top:

Note: To add the “Bulk Edit” function to the view in the Topics and Content sections, click the configuration wheel and open the additional settings. In the pop-up window, click the “article Columns” tab, expand the “Functions” category in the right column, and drag the “Bulk Edit” option into the left column. Then save your changes.
