Objective
Illustrate how Administrators can edit Site Categories in News Settings in the Dashboard.

Step 1: Navigate to Settings under the News section of the Menu

Event Alerts - Daily or Weekly are System default alerts set up during app deployment and cannot be deleted, but can be edited.

Step 3: Select the Edit pencil icon to the right of the Site Category you would like to edit


Step 4: Edit the News Category


You can:
- edit the icon choosing a new icon from the Library or Uploading from your device.
- Pin the category to a Position (1 (of 3), for example)
- check that it is a System Category (for automated feed only)
- check to Allow Teachers to Post News (meaning Teachers could chose this Category to share news items to)
