Duplicating Existing Pages
If you're here, you're probably looking to showcase your work in a more visual and digestible way.
These step-by-step instructions will help you do just that.
Read the brief guide below, or watch our 20 minute Guided Tour video.
1. An Example Releasd Page
First, let's have a look at an example of a Releasd Page (you can see more examples here):
You control the branding, layout and content of your Pages, and they work perfectly on any device.
If a recipient clicks the Menu icon in the bottom right corner, they're presented with a handy navigation panel, plus the ability to download as a PDF and view fullscreen (like a PowerPoint).
2. Logging in to your Control Panel
Go to releasd.com/signin and enter your name, email and password.
Tip: If you haven’t got a Login yet, you’ll need to request one from your account Administrator.
3. Adding Users
Anyone who needs to create or edit a Releasd Page requires their own Login.
Logins are managed from the Control Panel > Users tab.
Just click 'Add a New User' to set access rights and invite your colleagues into the account.
Read our full guide to managing users here.
4. Using Brands to Control Logos, Backgrounds, Colours & Fonts
All Pages under a Brand share the same:
- Logo
- Background image / colour
- Fonts
- Colour scheme
You may want to create a Brand for a client, product line, campaign or event for example.
1. Click on the Brands tab
Then click 'Add a New Brand'.
2. Add your look and feel
After giving the Brand a name, edit the header, background and widget settings.

5. Creating a New Page + The Templates Gallery
Now you've added a Brand, it's time to create your first Page.
1. Click the Pages tab
Then 'Create a New Page'.
2. Pick a Brand
This will determine the look and feel of your Page.
3. Start from an editable, best practice Template, or blank canvas
Select from a range of layouts based on use cases like reporting, media relations and new business.
Note: The structure and content of a Template can be easily manipulated in the Builder.
Read our guide to Page Templates here.
6. The Page Builder + Content Widgets
The Page Builder enables users to create highly customised Pages by dragging, dropping and resizing. It couldn't be easier.
Watch our brief overview video to learn the basics, or read the full article.
Content Types
Click on the headers below to explore the different types of content that can be added to your Pages.
The Header and Spacer widgets can be used to create sections and dividers respectively.
Add copy, for example a summary of your PR activity.
Create a simple infographic for page-level metrics.
Paste URLs to quickly generate live snapshots of online articles with a raft of automated metrics.
Upload scans in the form of PDFs or images to create galleries of print coverage.
Showcase live individual posts or Stories from social channels.
Embed live accounts or searches from Twitter and Facebook.
Draw attention to comments from media influencers or event attendees.
Showcase product shots, event images or any other supporting imagery in a gallery.
Upload/embed broadcast coverage or promo content which can be played within the Page.
Embed press releases, reports, coverage logs or any Word, PPT, PDF or Excel files.
Include links to other reports or any web page.
Add contact information, for example for the team who created the Page.
Embed content from third party platforms including audio, Google Maps or countdown clocks.

Or go to the 'Pages' tab in the Control Panel.

2. Select from five options

9. Viewing Page Engagement Analytics
To see how much engagement your Pages are getting, follow the steps below.
1. Go the Pages tab in the Control Panel
Find your page, then click 'Analytics'.
2. View your live engagement data
View total visits, average duration, total duration, visits over time and by device.

Best Practice: Are Your Pages Getting Engagement?
10. Saving Time by Duplicating an Existing Page
Once you've created a Page that you're happy with, you can save time by duplicating it.
1. Go to the Pages tab, then click 'Duplicate'
2. Decide whether to keep the original content, or just the structure
- Keep the layout: This maintains the structure of the Page, but strips out all of the content (e.g. coverage, stats etc). This is useful for monthly reports for example
- Keep layout & content: This maintains both the structure and the original content. Useful if you want to tweak a Page for different audiences, for example one for Execs, another for Sales
