From your dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Blogging Settings” » “Article Series Options”.

What’s the In-Series option for?

The In-Series Option is a provided as a way to keep articles within a “series” together.

Let’s say you started writing an article, and instead of the short 4 or 5 paragraphs you intended, the information you’re putting together is in fact more like 20 paragraphs. The information is all relevant and useful, but it’s just too long for one post.

So, we make it a series. We break those 20 paragraphs into 4 or 5 different articles and post them individually.

What this will do is not only add more consistent content to your site, but your visitors will want to come back to read the next part of the series, and the next part. And maybe instead of checking back every day for the next in the series to be posted, they’re going to sign up in your opt-in box so they get notified by email that the next article in the series is ready for them.

The In-Series option makes it easy for your visitors to get to the other articles in the series quickly and easily, This increases satisfaction of your Tribe. It also boosts SEO (Search Engine Optimization.)

How to use the In-Series feature

We’ve covered the basics of setting up a series in Creating a Post/Article. Now we’ll cover the actual settings for the In-Series Option.

Only the first four settings should be changed.

1. Show links in single view. What this meansis if the visitor has accessed an In Series article at it’s full URL (i.e. yourdomain.com/blog/in-series-article-title/) that the links for previous and next articles in the series will show.
2. Show links in Multi-Views. If a visitor is reading your articles from the home page, or from a category listing, the links for the previous and next articles in the series will show.
3. Previous link text. This is where you’ll define what the “Previous link” should say. Remember this will be included for ALL the different series, so it should not be series specific.
4. Next link text. Same as above, except for the “next” article in the series.

As with all your headlines, your article series titles should both make sense to your visitors AND include keywords relevant to your Tribe and the actual article series.
