NOTE: You'll notice that both the Page Title and URL fields are automatically populated based on the Headline. Here are the rules for how the fields are related to each other before the story is saved or published:

1. Headline:
   • Editing the Headline will automatically update the Page Title and URL to match the Headline.
   • Once you start editing the Page Title or the URL, edits to the Headline will no longer update the Page Title or URL.
2. Page Title:
   • Initially, the Page Title will automatically be updated when the Headline is updated.
   • Once you start editing the Page Title, edits to the Headline will no longer automatically update the Page Title or URL.
     • Edits to the Page Title will begin to automatically update the URL.
   • Once you start editing the URL, edits to the Page Title will no longer automatically update the URL.
   • If the Page Title is left blank, the web page will use the Headline as the Page Title (see below for Page Title details).
3. URL:
   • Initially, the URL will automatically be updated when the Headline is updated.
     • Once you start editing the Page Title, the URL will automatically be updated when the Page Title is updated.
   • Once you start editing the URL, edits to the Headline or the Page Title will no longer automatically update any fields.

Once a story is saved, all the fields can be manually updated individually.

Once a story is published, all the fields can be manually updated individually except the URL field. To better support SEO, the Headline and the Page Title are not linked after a story is published to allow editing and customization of the Page Title. Additional information can be added to the Page Title to help promote more search results for the page. If you want to ensure that the Headline and the Page Title are the same, you can leave the Page Title blank OR if you change the Headline, you have to make sure you change the Page Title before publishing the article.

4. Canonical URL Override
   • The canonical URL is used for SEO and helps identify the original source of content. The canonical URL is embedded within the metadata of the HTML file.
   • The canonical URL for the story will default to the URL of the story. If you wish to change it, you can do so by clicking into that field and making your desired changes.
   • When a story is syndicated, the canonical URL (URL or Override) for the original story will be found within the syndicated stories regardless of which site they are found.
