I created a new entry/content but it is not appearing in my SitRep.
Are you in the correct work space?
Entries created in the DSR Training space will only appear in the DSR Training space.
Entries created in the production Digital Situation Report space will only appear there.
VisitSwitching Work Spaces for instructions on how to move from The DSR Training space to the Digital Situation Report space (and vice versa).
Was the entry published as an individual piece?
Entries in “Draft” mode will not appear on you SitRep. Each piece needs to be published individually before it can appear on your SitRep.
To publish your entry:
Locate and click on the “Draft” entry.
Click “Publish” in the right sidebar.
Did you add your entry through your SitRep or through the home page?
Entries created using the “Add entry” button on the home page are not automatically linked to your DSR. You can add the entry to your report by using the Link existing entries option on your DSR.
What happens to the Flash Update after the time expires?
Flash Updates remain in the CMS as published but will not appear on your SitRep after the time (selected when the update was created) has expired.
Can I change where the image appears in my article?
At this time, all images added to the Article appear on the right hand side. They are also automatically resized to conform to the space.
Can I add more than one image to an Article?
Only 1 image can be added to an Article or other content type.
Consider:
Can your article/new story be broken into smaller chunks? Each piece can have it’s own image.
Can one of your images be used as a Visual? This is a good option for infographics, maps and graphs.
Can one of your images be used as a the Key Image for your DSR?

I’m having trouble publishing my Digital SitRep.
Do you receive a “Validation failed” error message?

Duplication and creating new Situation Reports from scratch is not recommended. Content should be edited and updated from the existing SitRep. Offices should not have more than one SitRep unless they are providing SitReps in multiple languages.
