Keep dated pages together in a series

For a run of dated pages you want to keep (a daily digest, a nightly report), a series gives you one link with every page inside it. The series link shows the newest page with a list of dates down the side, and each page has its own address inside the series.

Make a series#

1. 1

   In Shares, hold Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and click each share, or press Shift+Space on a focused row.

2. 2

   Click Combine in the bar above the list.

3. 3

   Choose A series, keep every page.

Yardmaster makes one new series link and turns every share you picked into a page of it, named by the day it was published. A page's old link now sends visitors to its place in the series.

Combining deletes nothing: every page stays stored and keeps counting against your share storage, up to 3,000 pages per series. The series takes the newest share's password and theme, and they apply to every page.

To fold repeat copies of one report into a single link instead, see Combine and tidy your shares.

Give a series an end date#

A new series never expires, even if the shares you combined had expiry dates. To end it on a date, give the series an expiry from its details; the form reminds you that when it expires, every page is removed with it, content and all.

Manage the pages in a series#

In the Shares list the series shows a calendar icon and how many pages it has; its details list the pages newest first with Open and Remove from series for each, plus Rename and Split series.

Removing the last page, or splitting the series, gives every page its own link back and removes the series link.

Series entries. A series' pages can be grouped under a shared heading, like "Run 17", instead of every page standing on its own date, with a smaller tab label for each document inside it (for example "Prompts" and "Results").

Get a homepage for a series#

Every series also gets a homepage at its own link: a short summary of the series, one row per entry with its result and a note, and a few notes across entries, shown as an overview table or a timeline.

Or it can simply show the newest page, if you prefer: while a series shows its newest page, its homepage is not rewritten and nothing is spent, since no reader would see it, until you pick the overview table or the timeline again.

The series' details have a Homepage card to pick the style, choose who it is written for and rebuild it, and its History keeps every version so you can put an older one back. Turning homepages off in Shares settings takes every homepage down at once, with Undo. Desktop app only.
