Depending on your needs, you have three view options to check your coverage:
List |
Allows you to see the summary of the article with a slide-out card as you hover over the articles. If you want to quickly see the full article without leaving the page, you can simply click on the summary of the article and a side panel will open. However, if you want to open the article on its own page, that is still possible by clicking the headline of the article. If you wish to open the article in a new tab you can right-click the headline and select "Open link in new tab." |
Kanban |
Allows you to group your content by media type or sentiment if the latter is available in your project. The articles will be organized into different columns, depending on the option you choose. The two article opening dynamics explained above apply to this view as well. |
Table |
Allows you to sort through a high volume of articles at once. The summary of the article isn't available in this view, only the headline. As such, reading the article in a side panel isn't an option in this view. |
