As a publisher, every article you create grows a wealthy library of content that should be preserved and organized. With RebelMouse, you can enable our Archives function in Layout & Design Tool to easily see articles within a specific time frame. The feature shows archived articles organized by year and month.

Here's what an archive page looks like:

Once in Layout & Design Tool, navigate to the Archives option using the hamburger menu (☰):

Once there, you will see the following three elements available to use within your Archives:

Archive Headline: This will be the header of your archives page.

Archive List: This is all of the properties you choose to assign to your archives list.

Post Element: This defines how the posts will be set up in your archives list.

Archive List Properties

Below are the different ways you can customize your archives:

Start Date: The date you want to start the list of articles. For example, articles published after January 2 .

End Date: The date you want to end the list of articles. For example, articles published until May 3 .

Here's an example of how to set up start and end dates in Layout & Design tool:

Source for Archive List: Choose from your current site or a section page.

Grouping: Currently, you can group your archive list by months. If your start and end dates are January 2019–March 2019, you'll see articles grouped by January , February , and March .
