Submitting & Creating Content  If you are already a site Contributor and/or Content Owner, please refer to "SwinNet News: How to Create a News Post (Article)." A weekly news digest of SwinNet articles is sent to all employees every Wednesday morning. This is a great way to get the word out about upcoming events, Good News wins, and other company announcements. We encourage you to use the digest instead of sending out global emails, as we are trying to reduce the number of emails. If you would like to have an article in an upcoming digest, please contact Kristin Rosevear and submit your article by EOD the Friday before next Wednesday's digest. If you are not a Contributor, please contact the Contributor(s) for your site to have the article created and submitted by the deadline. If you require assistance with the article, please open a ticket tagging SwinNet. Under Issues, select Applications/Software > SwinNet > Content Questions.
