This is one of our oldest modules in Spike@School. We realised early on that schools needed an easy way to add and maintain the Newsletters on their website. You can add as many Sets of Newsletters to your site as you want. You could have one for the main school newsletter and one for your class newsletter if you have one. To add a new Set of Newsletters you just give it a name. You'll then be presented with this screen when you click on your new Set of Newsletters:
Once you've uploaded a newsletter, you never have to delete it because Spike@School will automatically archive it according to the year it was uploaded. When visitors come to your site they'll be able to browse to those other years if they want. They'll be shown the current year by default. Let's add a Newsletter:

There is a free PDF converter available to convert your files. It works like a printer, so you can print your newsletter to the PDF printer and it will save it as a PDF. Once you've added your newsletter you'll be able to view it on the public side of your website like so:
It's that simple! Your secretary will love how easy it is to learn how to do this.
