Curators
Writing posts
Draft and publish posts for your player.gg profile or publication.
Start a post#
Writing posts on your profile requires curation rights. Publication contributors can post in the publications they belong to.
Open your account menu and select Write a post. You can also open Curator Tools from the same menu, go to Posts, and select New post.
If you contribute to one or more publications, player.gg will ask where you want to post:
- Your profile creates an independent post under your name. It will not be emailed to a publication’s subscribers.
- A publication publishes the post under that publication’s brand and gives you the option to email its subscribers.
Choose before you start writing. A saved post cannot be moved between your profile and a publication later.
Add your story#
Give the post a title, add an optional subheadline, and start writing. Type @ to mention a game, curator, or publication inline. The editor also supports regular formatting as well as reviews, featured games, images, videos, and other rich blocks. See Using the editor for every option.
The sidebar beside your post holds its settings:
- Select Add a cover image above the title to set a custom cover. For best results, use a 16:9 image at 1600 × 900 pixels or larger.
- Visible to sets whether the post is listed for Everyone or Unlisted, which hides it from public lists while keeping its direct URL live.
- Comments and Who can comment control the discussion under the post.
- Under Details, change the URL slug and add an optional Excerpt for cards, previews, and subscriber-only posts. Social preview shows how the post looks when shared.
On a phone, open the sidebar with More actions. On a tablet, use the sidebar button above the post to show or hide it.
Select Save draft from the ••• menu when you are ready to save the post to your player.gg account. You can return to it from Posts in Curator Tools.
Posts lists your drafts, scheduled, and published posts, including the ones you wrote for publications. Filter by status, then select a post to preview it with its actions and performance beside it. Use the switcher at the start of the tab bar to see a publication’s posts instead.
Publish and share#
Open the saved draft to review it. For a publication post, you can also preview the newsletter email before it goes out.
Select Publish now to make the post live immediately, or Schedule to choose a future date and time.
The scheduling dialog shows the timezone used for your chosen time. For a publication post, select Send email to my subscribers to send its newsletter when the post goes live. Leave it unselected if you want to publish on schedule but send the email separately later.
When publishing through a publication, choose what should happen to its newsletter email:
- Send now emails subscribers as the post goes live.
- Schedule sends the email at the time you choose.
- No / later publishes without sending an email. You can return to the post and send or schedule it later.
After publishing, you can view the post on player.gg, edit it, or archive it. Archiving removes it from public view without deleting your work. The ••• menu has the rest: view analytics, copy or share the link, and unpublish.
Manage the conversation#
Published posts support comments and replies from anyone with a profile. Readers can mention games, curators, and publications, like comments, and share links to individual replies.
As the author, use the settings button beside the comments heading to choose who can comment or lock the discussion. Locked comments stay visible, but no new comments or replies can be added. You can also delete individual comments through their three-dot menu.
See Managing comments on your posts for audience options and Comments and replies for editing and email notifications.
