Instead of remembering a password, you simply enter your email and verify a one-time passcode (OTP) sent straight to your inbox. This makes logging in fast, simple, and safe. ## How It Works - No password to remember — you log in using a code sent to your email. - Each one-time passcode is temporary and valid for a single sign-in attempt. - The same email address links you to your existing blogs, settings, and content. - First-time users are guided through site setup and a product tour after signing in. - Once verified, you land directly on your dashboard ready to start publishing. ## Steps 1. Open the Hyperblog login page. 1. Enter the email address associated with your account. 1. Select the option to request your one-time passcode and check your inbox. 1. Enter the OTP from the email into the verification field. 1. If you are a new user, enter your site details when prompted. 1. You'll arrive on your dashboard, where a guided product tour helps you get started. ## Sign-In Fields and States | Item | Description | | --- | --- | | Email address | The email where your one-time passcode will be sent. | | One-time passcode (OTP) | The temporary code you enter to confirm your identity. | | Site details (new users) | Basic information about your blog, requested only during first-time onboarding. | | Dashboard | Your home screen after successful sign-in, showing blogs and tools. | ## Tips & Notes - Use the same email address each time so all your content stays under one account. - Check your spam or promotions folder if the code doesn't appear in your inbox. - For the best onboarding experience, sign in on a desktop browser rather than mobile. > **INFO:** The product tour and demo content appear automatically the first time you sign in on a desktop device. > **WARNING:** Each passcode is time-limited. If yours expires before you use it, request a new one. ## Troubleshooting - Code not arriving: Wait a moment, confirm your email is spelled correctly, then request a new passcode. - Code rejected: Make sure you're entering the most recent code, since older codes stop working. - Landed on the wrong account: Sign out and log back in using your original email address. - Email not in inbox: Check spam/promotions folders or try requesting the code again after a short wait.

During onboarding you confirm your site details, receive ready-made demo content, and take a guided product tour that walks you through the dashboard so you can start publishing right away. ## How It Works - After signing in with your email and one-time code, you're prompted to enter basic site details. - Hyperblog adds demo content to your account so you can see how a finished blog looks before creating your own. - A guided product tour highlights key areas of the dashboard, such as Blogs, Templates, and Leads. - The tour runs automatically the first time you open the dashboard and only appears until you complete it. - Your site preferences, like time zone, are saved and used across analytics, leads, and scheduling. ## Steps 1. Open the login page and enter your email address to request a one-time code (OTP). 1. Enter the code you receive by email to verify your identity. 1. Fill in your site details, such as your site name and basic preferences. 1. Land on your dashboard, where demo content is added automatically to your account. 1. Follow the guided product tour to learn where each feature lives. 1. Finish the tour and start creating or importing your first blog. ## Onboarding Details | Step | What You Do | Outcome | | --- | --- | --- | | Sign in | Enter email and verify the OTP | Access to your account | | Site details | Enter site name and preferences | Your site is configured | | Demo content | Review sample blog content | See a finished blog example | | Product tour | Follow the guided walkthrough | Learn the dashboard layout | ## Tips & Notes - Set your time zone correctly during setup so lead timestamps and scheduling display accurately. - The demo content is yours to explore — edit or delete it once you're comfortable with the editor. - The product tour only shows once, so take your time the first time through. > **INFO:** For the best experience, complete onboarding and the product tour on a desktop or laptop. The guided tour does not run on small mobile screens. > **TIP:** You can always revisit any feature later from the left navigation menu — the tour is just a head start. ## Troubleshooting - Didn't receive your one-time code? Check your spam folder, then request a new code from the login page. - The product tour didn't appear? Open the dashboard on a larger screen, as the tour is hidden on mobile devices. - Don't see demo content? Refresh the dashboard; the sample blog is added automatically the first time you sign in. - Times appear off across the app? Update your time zone in Settings to match your location.

From a single place, you can write posts, organize content, capture leads, set up newsletters, and adjust your site settings. ## How It Works - A side navigation menu gives you one-click access to all major areas like Blogs, Categories, Tags, Templates, and more. - The Blogs area is your default landing page, where you can create, import, search, and filter your posts. - First-time users are greeted with a guided product tour and demo content to help them get started quickly. - Your subscription plan and remaining blog quota are tracked, so you always know how many posts you can still create. - Lead and newsletter data can be searched, filtered by type, and exported to CSV directly from the dashboard. ## Steps 1. Sign in with your email and complete the one-time onboarding to set up your site details. 1. When you land on the dashboard, follow the guided product tour to learn where each feature lives. 1. Use the side navigation menu to move between Blogs, Categories, Tags, Templates, Leads, Newsletter, and Settings. 1. From the Blogs area, create a new post, import a file, or use the search and filters to find existing content. 1. Visit the Leads or Newsletter sections to review captured contacts and export them when needed. ## Dashboard Sections | Section | What You Can Do | | --- | --- | | Blogs | Create, import, search, filter, and manage your posts. | | Categories & Tags | Organize your content for easier browsing. | | Templates | Preview and apply designs to your published blog. | | Lead Library & Leads | Build lead magnets and review or export captured contacts. | | Newsletter & Custom Domain | Set up subscriber widgets and connect your own domain. | | Settings | Adjust time zone, site preferences, and your subscription plan. | ## Tips & Notes - Use the search box in the Blogs and Leads areas to quickly locate items by title, name, or email. - Keep an eye on your remaining blog quota if you're on the free plan — you'll be prompted to upgrade when it runs out. - Dates and times throughout the dashboard reflect the time zone set in your Settings. > **INFO:** For the best experience, use the dashboard on a desktop browser. Some features are limited on mobile screens. > **TIP:** You can re-run the product tour anytime if you want a refresher on where features are located. ## Troubleshooting - Not seeing the product tour? It only appears on desktop and once per account until completed. - Can't create a new blog? Check your remaining blog quota and upgrade your plan if you've reached the limit. - Leads or blogs not appearing? Clear any active filters or search terms to view the full list again. - Dates showing incorrectly? Confirm your time zone is set correctly under Settings.

Whether you're starting from a blank page or importing an existing document, you can shape your content, assign it to categories and authors, and publish when you're ready. ## How It Works - Create a new blog from scratch and write directly in the rich editor. - Import existing content from DOCX, Markdown, or HTML files to generate a blog automatically. - Format text, add images, and include math expressions inside the editor. - Assign categories, tags, and an author to keep your content organized. - Choose a template, preview the result, and publish the blog to your live site. - Search and filter your blogs by status, author, category, or tag from the Blogs list. ## Steps 1. Open Blogs from the main navigation to see your existing posts. 1. Click to create a new blog, or choose Import to upload a DOCX, Markdown, or HTML file (up to 10MB). 1. Write or edit your content in the rich editor, adding headings, images, and formatting as needed. 1. Assign a category, tags, and an author to the blog. 1. Pick a template and preview how the post will appear on your site. 1. Publish the blog to make it live, or keep it as a draft to finish later. ## Blog Fields and Options | Field / Option | Description | | --- | --- | | Title | The headline of your blog post, shown on the published page. | | Content | The body of the post, written and formatted in the rich editor. | | Categories & Tags | Labels used to group and filter your posts. | | Author | The profile credited as the writer of the post. | | Status | Whether the post is a draft or published live. | | Template | The visual layout applied to the published post. | ## Tips & Notes - Importing a document is the fastest way to publish existing writing — the file's title and content fill in automatically. - Use categories and tags consistently so visitors can browse related posts easily. - Preview your template before publishing to confirm the layout looks the way you expect. > **INFO:** Imported files must be DOCX, Markdown, or HTML and no larger than 10MB. > **WARNING:** If you're on the free plan, you have a limited number of blogs. Once your remaining blogs reach zero, you'll be prompted to upgrade before creating or importing more. ## Troubleshooting - "No content found in the file" — check that your document actually contains text and is a supported format before importing again. - "You have no remaining blogs" — you've reached your plan limit; upgrade your subscription to add more posts. - Import fails for large files — make sure the file is under the 10MB size limit. - Can't find a blog in the list — clear any active search or filters to show all posts again. Related topics: Import blog content, Organize with categories, Choose blog templates. --- # Importing Blog Content Source: https://docs.hyperblog.io/writing-and-publishing/importing-blog-content # Importing Blog Content Importing blog content lets you turn an existing document into a ready-to-edit blog post in seconds. Instead of copying and pasting, you upload a DOCX, Markdown, or HTML file and Hyperblog automatically creates a new blog from its contents, complete with title and formatting. ## How It Works - Upload a single DOCX, Markdown (.md), or HTML file directly from the Blogs page. - Hyperblog reads the file, extracts the title, and converts the content into an editable blog. - You are taken straight into the editor where you can refine the imported post. - Imported blogs count toward your plan's blog quota, so the system checks your remaining blogs first. - After import you can assign categories, tags, an author, and a template just like any other blog. ## Steps 1. Open the Blogs page from the main navigation. 1. Choose the Import option to open the file picker. 1. Select a DOCX, Markdown, or HTML file (up to 10 MB) from your device. 1. Wait while Hyperblog reads the file and creates a new blog from its content. 1. Review and edit the imported blog in the editor, then publish when you are ready. ## Supported File Types | File Type | Extension | Best For | | --- | --- | --- | | Word Document | .docx | Content drafted in Microsoft Word or Google Docs | | Markdown | .md | Posts written in a Markdown editor | | HTML | .html | Web pages or exported articles | ## Tips & Notes - Keep files under the 10 MB limit and import one file at a time for the smoothest experience. - The title of your blog is taken from the file, so name and structure your document clearly before importing. - After importing, always review formatting in the editor since complex layouts may need minor adjustments. > **INFO:** Imported blogs count against your plan's blog quota. If you reach your limit on a free plan, you'll be prompted to upgrade before the import can finish. > **TIP:** Importing is the fastest way to migrate existing content into Hyperblog without retyping it. ## Troubleshooting - "No content found in the file" — the file may be empty or unreadable. Check that it contains text and try saving it again before re-importing. - File won't upload — confirm the file is a .docx, .md, or .html file and is no larger than 10 MB. - "You have no remaining blogs" — you've hit your plan's blog limit. Upgrade your subscription to continue importing. - Formatting looks off after import — open the blog in the editor and adjust headings, images, or spacing as needed.

Before going live, you'll assign a template, organize your post with categories and tags, and choose an author so your blog looks polished and easy to find. ## How It Works - Write or import your blog content in the editor before publishing. - Assign categories and tags to help readers discover related posts. - Choose an author profile to display alongside your blog. - Select and preview a template that controls how your published blog looks. - Publish to make the blog instantly available on your live site. - Your available blog count depends on your current subscription plan. ## Steps 1. Open the Blogs page and select the blog you want to publish, or create a new one. 1. Finish writing or reviewing your content in the editor. 1. Assign one or more categories and tags to organize the post. 1. Select the author profile you want shown with the blog. 1. Open the Templates page, preview the available designs, and apply your chosen template. 1.

Free plans have a limited blog quota. > **TIP:** Connecting a custom domain before publishing gives your live blog a professional, branded web address. ## Troubleshooting - If publishing is blocked, check that you haven't reached your plan's blog limit and upgrade if needed. - If your blog looks wrong after publishing, reopen the Templates page and confirm the correct template is applied. - If imported content appears empty, make sure your file is a supported DOCX, Markdown, or HTML file under the size limit. - If changes don't appear on the live site, republish the blog and refresh the page in your browser. Related topics: Choose Blog Templates, Organize with Categories, Connect a Custom Domain. --- # Managing Categories Source: https://docs.hyperblog.io/organizing-content/managing-categories # Managing Categories Categories help you group related blog posts so your readers can quickly find content on the topics they care about. With Hyperblog, you can create, edit, delete, and bulk-manage categories to keep your blog organized as it grows. ## How It Works - Create as many categories as you need to reflect the main topics of your blog. - Assign one or more categories to a blog post while editing it. - Rename or update categories at any time without breaking your existing posts. - Delete a single category, or select several and remove them in bulk. - Filter your blog list by category to quickly review related content. ## Steps 1. Open the Categories page from the dashboard navigation menu. 1. Click the option to create a new category and enter a clear, descriptive name. 1. Save the category so it becomes available when editing blog posts. 1. To rename a category, select it, edit the name, and save your changes. 1. To remove categories, select one or more and choose delete to clear them in a single action. 1. Assign categories to a blog from within the editor when writing or updating a post. ## Category Actions | Action | What It Does | | --- | --- | | Create | Add a new category to group blog posts by topic. | | Edit | Rename or update an existing category. | | Delete | Remove a single category you no longer need. | | Bulk Delete | Select multiple categories and remove them all at once. | ## Tips & Notes - Keep category names short and broad so they stay useful as you publish more posts. - Avoid creating too many overlapping categories — use tags for finer-grained labels. - Review your categories periodically and merge or remove ones that are rarely used. > **TIP:** A clean, consistent category structure makes it easier for readers to navigate your blog and discover related content. > **WARNING:** Deleting a category cannot be undone. Posts assigned to that category will simply lose the association, so review before bulk deleting. ## Troubleshooting - Category not appearing in the editor? Refresh the page to load the latest list, then try assigning it again. - Can't save a new category? Make sure the name isn't a duplicate and that the field isn't left blank. - A deleted category still showing on the blog list? Clear any active filters and refresh to see the updated results. - Bulk delete not responding? Confirm at least one category is selected before applying the action.

With author profiles, you can add multiple contributors, edit their details, and assign them to specific blogs across your site. ## How It Works - Create author profiles with names and supporting details so each post can be credited correctly. - Assign an author to any blog post while editing it, so the byline appears on your published site. - Edit existing author profiles at any time to keep names and information up to date. - View all your authors in one place and reuse them across multiple posts. - Filter your blog list by author to quickly find everything a contributor has written. ## Steps 1. Open the authors area from your dashboard to see existing author profiles. 1. Select the option to add a new author and enter their name and details. 1. Save the profile so it becomes available for assignment. 1. Go to Blogs and open the post you want to credit in the editor. 1. Assign the author to the post alongside its categories and tags. 1. Publish or save the blog so the author byline appears on the live site. ## Author Fields | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | Author Name | The display name shown as the byline on published blog posts. | | Profile Details | Supporting information about the contributor that helps readers learn more. | | Assigned Blogs | The posts currently credited to this author, used when filtering your blog list. | ## Tips & Notes - Create your authors before writing so you can assign them without interrupting your editing flow. - Use the author filter on the Blogs page to review and manage everything a contributor has published. - Keep author names consistent so bylines look uniform across your site. > **TIP:** You can reuse a single author across many posts, so there's no need to recreate a profile for each blog. > **INFO:** An author must be saved as a profile before it can be assigned to a blog post in the editor. ## Troubleshooting - Author not appearing for assignment: make sure you saved the profile before opening the blog editor. - Byline missing on the live site: confirm an author is assigned to the post and that the blog has been published. - Wrong author shown: reopen the post in the editor and reassign the correct author, then save. - Filtering by author returns nothing: check that posts have been assigned to that author and that no other filters are also active. Related topics: Create and edit blogs, Organize with categories, Choose blog templates. --- # Choosing Blog Templates Source: https://docs.hyperblog.io/design-and-branding/choosing-blog-templates # Choosing Blog Templates Templates control the look and feel of your published blog. Hyperblog offers a collection of pre-built templates you can preview and apply, so your site matches your style without any design work. ## How It Works - Browse a library of pre-built templates designed for blogs and content sites. - Preview any template before applying it to see how your published site will look. - Apply a template with a single action to update your live site instantly. - Switch templates at any time without losing your blog content. - Templates work alongside your custom domain and newsletter settings. ## Steps 1. Open the Templates section from the main navigation menu. 1. Browse the available templates in the gallery. 1. Select a template and choose Preview to see how it looks with your content. 1. When you find one you like, choose Apply to set it as your active template. 1. Visit your published site to confirm the new look is live. ## Template Actions | Action | What It Does | | --- | --- | | Preview | Shows a live look at how the template displays your blog, without changing your site. | | Apply | Sets the selected template as active and updates your published site. | | Switch | Replaces your current template with a different one while keeping all content intact. | ## Tips & Notes - Always preview a template before applying it to avoid surprises on your live site. - Your blog content, categories, and tags stay the same when you switch templates. - For the best experience, review template changes on a desktop screen. > **TIP:** Try previewing a few templates side by side before committing — switching is reversible, so you can experiment freely. > **INFO:** Only one template can be active at a time. Applying a new one replaces the current design across your published site. ## Troubleshooting - Changes not showing on your site? Refresh the published page, as updates may take a moment to appear. - Preview looks blank? Make sure you have at least one published blog so the template has content to display. - Template won't apply? Try selecting it again and confirm your changes are saved. - Custom domain showing the old design? Allow a short delay for your domain to reflect the new template. Related topics: Set Up Custom Domain, Create and Publish a Blog, Configure Newsletter. --- # Connecting a Custom Domain Source: https://docs.hyperblog.io/design-and-branding/connecting-a-custom-domain # Connecting a Custom Domain A custom domain lets your published blog live at your own web address instead of a default platform URL. Connecting your domain builds brand trust, makes your site easier to remember, and gives your content a professional, fully branded home. ## How It Works - Link any domain you own to your published Hyperblog site from the Custom Domain page. - Verify ownership of the domain before it goes live, ensuring only you can connect it. - Once verified, all your published blogs appear under your custom address automatically. - Your domain works alongside your chosen template, newsletter, and lead capture features without extra setup. - You can update or change the connected domain later from the same page. ## Steps 1. From the dashboard, open the Custom Domain page from the navigation menu. 1. Enter the domain you want to connect (for example, yourname.com). 1. Follow the on-screen instructions to update your domain's settings with your domain provider. 1. Return to the Custom Domain page and start the verification process. 1. Wait for verification to complete, then confirm your domain shows as connected. 1. Visit your domain in a browser to confirm your published blog loads correctly. ## Domain Connection Statuses | Status | What It Means | What To Do | | --- | --- | --- | | Pending | Domain entered but not yet verified. | Update your domain settings and start verification. | | Verifying | Settings are being checked for ownership. | Wait a short while; changes can take time to apply. | | Connected | Domain is verified and live. | Visit your domain to see your published blog. | | Failed | Verification could not be completed. | Recheck your settings and try verifying again. | ## Tips & Notes - Make sure you have access to your domain provider's settings before starting, as you'll need to make changes there. - Use the exact domain format shown on the page to avoid verification errors. - Once connected, your template and newsletter settings carry over automatically. > **INFO:** Domain changes can take some time to take effect after you update settings with your provider. If your domain doesn't connect right away, wait a little and try verifying again. > **WARNING:** Custom domains may depend on your subscription plan. If the option is unavailable, check your current plan and upgrade if needed. ## Troubleshooting - Verification keeps failing: double-check that the settings you entered with your domain provider match exactly what the page requested. - Domain shows as connected but the site won't load: clear your browser cache or try again later, as updates can take time to spread. - Can't access the Custom Domain page: confirm you're signed in as the blog owner and that your plan includes custom domains. - Wrong content appears on your domain: make sure your blog is published and a template has been applied.

Choose a ready-made template, customize its content, set it as active, and switch on a global newsletter widget that appears across your site to grow your audience. ## How It Works - Pick from a set of pre-built newsletter templates designed to capture email signups. - Edit a template's wording, headings, and call to action to match your brand voice. - Mark a single template as active so it becomes the one shown to visitors. - Enable the newsletter globally to display the signup widget on all your published blogs. - Captured signups appear in your Leads area, where you can review and export them. ## Steps 1. Open the Newsletter page from the main navigation menu. 1. Browse the available templates and select the one you like. 1. Edit the template content, including its headline, description, and button text. 1. Set the template as active to make it the live version. 1. Turn on the global newsletter toggle to publish the widget across your blogs. 1. Open the Leads page later to view and export your subscribers. ## Newsletter Settings | Setting | Description | | --- | --- | | Template | The visual design of your signup widget, chosen from pre-built options. | | Template content | The editable headline, message, and call-to-action text shown to visitors. | | Active template | The single template currently used live on your published blogs. | | Global toggle | Enables or disables the newsletter widget across your entire site. | ## Tips & Notes - Keep your signup message short and clear so visitors know exactly what they'll receive. - Only one template can be active at a time, so finalize your edits before setting it live. - Newsletter signups are stored alongside your other leads for easy management. > **TIP:** Preview your edited template before going live to make sure it looks right on your site. > **INFO:** The widget only appears to visitors once both the active template and the global toggle are turned on. ## Troubleshooting - Widget not showing on your blog? Confirm the global newsletter toggle is enabled and a template is set as active. - Edits not appearing? Make sure you saved your changes and that the edited template is the active one. - No subscribers showing up? Check the Leads page and filter by the newsletter type to view signups. - Changes not reflecting on a live blog? Allow a moment for your published site to update, then refresh.
