Related Help Screens  !! Description
Components Article Manager Options || Used to set global defaults for menu items that display articles. These default values will be used when "Use Global" is selected for an option in an Articles menu item. For example, to show the 'Create Date' for an article in your Articles menu items, then set that option to "Show" here and it will be the default value. You do not need to set any of these options. Your Joomla site will work with the default settings.
Content Article Manager || The Article Manager is used to find, mark featured, add and edit articles. See Toolbar below for a detailed list of all functions.
Content Article Manager Edit || This is the back-end screen where you can add and edit Articles. The same screen is used for adding a new Article and editing an existing Article. You can also select the Section and Category for an Article and indicate whether or not it is Published and if it is selected to appear on the Front Page. The Article's content is edited using the default editor selected in the User Manager - New/Edit. The Joomla! default editor is called TinyMCE. A number of Parameters can be set for the Article. Metadata can also be entered.
Content Featured Articles || Used to control which 'Featured Articles' are displayed on the Front Page and in what order they are displayed. The Front Page is often the Home page of a web site, but it can be any page in the site. The Front Page is created using a Menu Item with the Front Page layout.
Menus Menu Item Article Archived || Used to show a list of Archived Articles. The Archived Article list can be displayed by date, filtered, and intro text added as shown below.

Controls the Introduction or Leading Article, additional Articles with intro text, and additional links to more Articles in the same category.

See the Advanced Details Tab for all this menu item.
Menus Menu Item Article Create || Allows users to submit an article. Normally this is available only to users who have logged in to the front end of the site.
