News and events should primarily be built directly on your sites. This will ensure they publish promptly for your visitors. If a news article or event needs to be shared to multiple sites, it can be created in Syndication. Just be aware that it may take up to a week to export.

News and events created in Syndication are imported to different sites using the Content Hub tag. This is a tag added when editing or creating a news article or event in Syndication. Adding this tag to an event or news article made directly on your site will not export it to other sites. Content Hub Tag: the field labeled “Content Hub Tag” is where you choose the sites that will import the news article or event. Every tag of this sort starts with “AP -” or “CH -”; this tag is invisible to visitors. Select “Add another item” to add multiple tags; separating by commas does not work. Each site has one Content Hub Tag by default. To import content to the main PDX.edu site, you must use the “CH - Top Level” Content Hub tag on that content. To import existing content to your own site, edit the page in Syndication and add your site’s Content Hub tag to the content.
