What This Screen Does
This is where you view the full details of a single notification (which is an article or news post). Think of it like opening an email to read the whole message. You can see the title, cover image, teaser text, full body content, tags, who favorited it, and any comments. You can also navigate back to the list, edit the article, or share it.
How to Get There
Open the dashboard.
In the left-hand menu, click Notifications.
Click on any notification in the list.
You are now on the Notification Details screen.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Review the Toolbar
At the top of the screen you will see a toolbar with several actions:
Action | What It Does |
Back | Takes you back to the news list. |
Edit (pencil icon) | Opens the edit screen for this article so you can make changes. |
Go Live (external link icon) | Opens the published version of the article. This icon only appears if the article is currently published. |
Click Back to return to the notification list at any time.
Click the pencil icon to jump to the edit screen.
2. View the Hero Image and Title
A large cover image is displayed at the top of the article, spanning the full width of the screen.
The article title is overlaid on the cover image in white text.
If the article has an author and creation date, these appear at the bottom-left of the hero image with the author’s avatar.
3. Read the Teaser
Below the hero image, you will see the teaser text in a subtitle style.
This is a short summary or introduction to the article.
4. Read the Full Article Body
The main content of the article is rendered below the teaser.
It supports rich text (headings, bold, lists, links, images, etc.) through Markdown formatting.
5. View Tags
Below the article body, you will see a row of tags displayed as small chips.
Tags help categorize the article (for example, “Announcement”, “Update”, “Event”).
Tags are read-only on this screen — to change them, use the edit screen.
6. See Favorites
Below the tags, there is a heart icon with a number showing how many people have favorited this article.
Next to the count, you will see small avatar circles of the people who favorited it.
You can click the heart to toggle your own favorite status.
7. Share the Article
In the bottom-right corner of the hero section, there is a share button (a speed dial).
Click it to expand sharing options for social platforms (such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter).
Click any social icon to share the article on that platform.
8. Read Comments
Scroll down to the Comments section.
The heading shows the total number of comments in parentheses.
Each comment shows the commenter’s name, avatar, message, and timestamp.
Replies to comments are shown indented beneath the original comment.
Use the pagination controls at the bottom to navigate through pages of comments.
9. Post a Comment
Below the Comments heading, there is a comment form with the following fields:
Field | Required | What to Enter |
Comment | Yes | Write your comment in the text area. This is the main message. |
Name | Yes | Your name, so others know who wrote the comment. |
Yes | A valid email address (e.g. |
You can also use the toolbar icons below the text area:
Gallery icon — attach an image.
Paperclip icon — attach a file.
Smiley face icon — add an emoji.
When you are ready, click the Post comment button.
The system will validate your inputs and submit the comment.

Troubleshooting
“The page is just showing a loading skeleton and never finishes”
The article data may be taking a long time to load. Check your internet connection.
If the loading continues for more than 30 seconds, try refreshing the page.
The article ID in the URL may be invalid. Make sure you navigated here from the notification list rather than typing the URL manually.
“I see an error message instead of the article”
The screen shows the error message returned by the server. Read it carefully — it usually explains what went wrong.
The article may have been deleted or you may not have permission to view it.
Click the Back to List button to return to the notification list and try opening a different article.
“The cover image is not displaying”
The article may not have a cover image set. In that case, the hero area will appear with a dark background and just the title.
If an image was set but is not loading, the image file may have been moved or deleted from the server.
Try refreshing the page. If the problem persists, edit the article and re-upload the cover image.
“I cannot see the Edit button”
The edit button (pencil icon) is always visible in the toolbar. If you do not see it, try scrolling to the top of the page.
If clicking it leads to an error, you may not have the required permissions to edit articles. Contact your administrator.
“My comment did not post”
Make sure all three fields (Comment, Name, and Email) are filled in.
The email must be in a valid format (e.g.
name@example.com).If the form shows red error messages below any field, fix those errors and try again.
If the button shows a loading spinner that never stops, check your internet connection and try again.
“I do not see any comments”
The article may simply have no comments yet. The count next to the Comments heading will show
(0).Be the first to leave a comment using the form above the comment list.
“The tags section is empty”
The article may not have any tags assigned to it.
To add tags, click the Edit button in the toolbar and add tags from the edit screen.
“The Go Live link is not showing”
The Go Live icon (external link) only appears when the article’s status is set to published.
If the article is still in draft status, this link will not be visible.
To publish the article, go to the edit screen and change its status to published.
“The favorite count seems wrong”
The favorite count is fetched from the server when the page loads. It may not update in real time.
Refresh the page to see the latest count.
If the avatars in the favorite list do not load, the users’ profile images may be unavailable.
