# 41. Publish platform updates — administrators

Draft a site announcement, preview it and optionally notify the official Telegram community.

**Audience:** authorized SPAWN platform administrators. This is not a self-service news submission tool for every project owner.

**Open:** the SPAWN admin area → **News & announcements**. You need the appropriate platform admin account. This guide explains the workflow; it does not grant access or publish anything automatically.

## Create and review a draft

1. Choose **New update**.
2. Enter the **Title**, **Short summary** and **Category**.
3. Choose the appropriate **SPAWN artwork** so the article follows the existing site branding.
4. Write the **Article** in Markdown: explain what changed, who it affects and the actions readers can take.
5. Include accurate official links, limits and any time-bounded offer terms. Avoid announcing an unshipped feature as available.
6. Use **Show article preview** to inspect headings, links and readability.
7. Choose **Save draft** before publishing a new record.

Use the provided artwork selector for the article image. The current reader does not render inline Markdown images in the body, so do not rely on an embedded image there to communicate essential instructions.

## Publish and optionally notify Telegram

1. Reopen the saved draft and make the final review.
2. Decide whether it should notify the official Telegram community. The notification option is separate and defaults off.
3. Use **Publish to site**, or the offered **Publish & notify Telegram** action when notification is selected.
4. Open the public article URL and confirm its title, summary, image and body.
5. If a notice was requested, inspect its delivery status and the intended official destination.

This notice is a platform announcement, not a token Buy Bot alert. Do not assume it posts into every project group.

## Edit or withdraw

Use **Save changes** for edits to an existing article. Editing an already announced article does not automatically resend its Telegram notice. Use **Unpublish** when an article should no longer be publicly available; this does not automatically remove a message already delivered to Telegram.

## Notification troubleshooting

| Status/problem                     | Correct action                                                                                            |
| ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Published without notice           | Use **Send Telegram notice** if it is still appropriate and the control is available.                     |
| Explicit Telegram rejection        | Correct the reported cause and use **Retry Telegram notice** when offered.                                |
| Delivery outcome uncertain         | Check the destination first. Do not blindly resend, because the original may already have arrived.        |
| Draft absent from public site      | Expected: drafts are private until publication.                                                           |
| Published article not found        | Confirm its published state and exact public slug; refresh the list.                                      |
| Notice differs from edited article | Existing Telegram messages do not automatically become newly sent announcements when the article changes. |

**Success:** the article is publicly readable and any requested notice has a checked delivery outcome. Keep the public [reader guide](/spawnmeme-docs/feature-guides/platform-information/33-news-updates.md) distinct from these administrator steps.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://spawnmeme.gitbook.io/spawnmeme-docs/feature-guides/platform-administration/41-publish-updates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
