Can I search and sort through my current blog posts?
Yes. The Posts table is a sortable, searchable DataTable. Click any column header (Title, Status, Updated At, etc.) to sort. Use the search box in the top-right to filter — it matches across all visible columns, so you can search by title, status, or author.
What is the blue eye icon on the blog post listing?
The blue eye opens the post in a new tab so you can preview it. For drafts and IS-publish-requested posts, it opens the consumer preview view. For posts published on your own website, it goes straight to the live URL on your domain or subdomain.
Useful for sanity-checking layout and images before announcing a post.
What is the yellow edit icon on the blog post listing?
Opens the post editor so you can update any field — title, body, SEO, image, status. Changes save the moment you click Update Post at the bottom of the editor.
The edit icon is hidden for IS-published posts, since locked-in public-blog content can't be edited from your side (see the IS Publishing section for why and what to do).
What is the red trash can icon on the blog post listing?
Permanently deletes the post and its uploaded images from S3 storage. You'll get a confirmation popup first.
This is not a soft delete — there is no trash bin to recover from. Use it deliberately.
Is it possible to recover a deleted blog post?
No. Deletion removes the database row and the post's S3 image folder right away. That's why the trash button always asks you to confirm.
If you're unsure about a post but don't want it visible, switch its status to Draft instead of deleting.
What do the Views and Hits columns mean?
Views counts unique visits to the post (one per session). Hits counts every page load, including refreshes and repeat visits.
Views is the better signal of audience size; hits is the better signal of engagement (people coming back to re-read or share).
