Another Vocal Improvement

Introduction

A good thing about any platform is giving users the ability to rectify their own issues rather than having to raise a ticket or send an email.

So What Are The Improvements?

Previously if we wanted to change the title or subheading we had to raise a ticket to get the story moved to draft. As a V+ user, you can now do that yourself.

At four o'clock this morning a poem I wrote last night was still awaiting review but poems were being published, so it was obviously stuck in the system.

Then I thought "What if I copy the poem and paste it into a new story, with the same title and publish it?". That's what I did and it was published in seconds. This is the poem:

That meant that the stuck one was still waiting in "Submitted" awaiting review. I didn't want it published, but I noticed the three dots and when I clicked them I was given the option to delete. As I couldn't get a pic when it was submitted I've shown the equivalent in "Draft" which I didn't know was still there, this was a "ghost" story. This is another unpublicised improvement, I just pasted this image into my story. Vocal needs to be more Vocal about Vocal improvements.

Conclusion

Despite the recent issues Vocal are continually making improvements and should be congratulated for that.

The more power they give to users to solve their own problems the less maintenance work they have to do, and that makes for a more efficient platform that is better for everybody.

Thank you so much for reading, although I will add some images to illustrate what I did when I can.

The music is "Getting Better" by The Beatles.
