  • Go to the Marketing section of your LockedOn.

  • In the Articles box, click green Add button.

  • Enter a Heading for your article

  • Enter the article main text into the box below, ensuring your format your paragraphs correctly.

  • Click the Upload Article Image button and select an image from your desktop.

  • This will now open the image editor. Make any changes you need here ie crop, zoom, filter etc and click the green Save button in the top right corner.

  • Above the Article Image section, you will see the Visibility box. Change the visibility to Published to send your article live.

  • Click the green Update button at the bottom to finalise all changes.
