Working with Stories
Using the mobile application, you can create a new story or edit an existing one. You can also change the title of story.
The system obtains an edit lock when you edit a story, which prevents other users from altering a story while you work on it. The edit lock applies only to the story body when you edit the body, and it applies only to the story title (the slug) when you edit the title. When you start a new story, the edit lock applies both to the story body and the story title. Saving and closing the story, or discarding your changes, releases the edit lock.
*The MediaCentral UX mobile app can also be used with a Bluetooth keyboard.
Using the edit toolbar, you can cut, copy, and paste text, production cues, and segment breaks within the story while in edit mode.
