  7. Write your full article content in the Detailed Content section.
  8. If other unions follow your news feed and you'd like them to see this post, enable Include in Global News Feed.
  9. Click Distribution to choose who receives this post. You have three options: all users, a specific segment, or a manual selection of members.
  10. Click Confirm once your distribution selection is made.
  11. Check the progress bar on the left to make sure nothing is missing.
