The CGADE development team received some feedback that people were annoyed (or inconvenienced) after receiving a new content notification containing multiple items.

You should know by now that when you get a new content notice, some itemswill only be visible after you login. If you click on a link for private content and are not already logged in to cgade.org , you will received an "access denied "message. Once you do login, you will see the page.

A new feature allows you to control when your post will be published and unpublished. This is useful if you have content that is time sensitive or will not be useful after a certain date. It also means that you will not have to delete it when it has expired, because the feature will make it invisible after the "unpublish" date. To use this feature when creating most types of content;

1. Start posting your item as you normally do
2. Scroll down to the "scheduling options" menu and click to expand
3. Enter the date to begin publishing, or leave blank to publish immediately **
