Cleaning up your News Posts for your Community

You are virtually finished with the basic set up for your PTO / PTA Website! Congrats! The last major thing you will need to do is hide the News Posts we added for you. You may want to access them again in the future (especially as your board changes!) but you don’t want to make them a part of your school’s news. This tutorial will show you how to hide those posts and make them private, only available to the Administrators of the website.
