An update is a short entry you post on your cause to say what has happened since last time. It appears on the public page, under the story, with its date. Don’t touch the story to tell news. The story explains why the cause exists and newcomers read it from end to end; updates say how it is going.

​
Posting one

1

Open your cause in the dashboard

Go to the updates section.
2

Write the title and the text

Short. One piece of news per update. If you have three things to say and none of them is urgent, one entry with all three beats three entries in a day.
3

Add an image if it helps

A photo of the meeting, of the event, of the document handed in. Optional.
4

Publish

It shows on the public page straight away.

​
What to say

A milestone

Half the goal was reached, it was passed, it arrived ahead of time.

A move by the recipient

They received you, they replied, they went quiet after a month. Silence is news too.

A handover

You took the signatures to the register. With a photo, better.

The outcome

It worked out or it didn’t. Tell it either way.
A cause with no updates for weeks looks abandoned, and people who hesitate don’t sign something that looks abandoned. Saying something every two or three weeks is enough.

​
Editing and deleting

You can correct an update after publishing it and you can delete it. If what you want is to put right something a lot of people have already read, it is more honest to post a new one correcting it, and leave the old one up.
