When editing an article, you can set a wide array of options. These allow you to control exactly which article details are shown, when the article will be published, and so on. It's a good idea to explore the options to make sure what combination of settings fits your needs best.
The following is an overview of the settings you can choose for each article.

At the top of the editor screen, there's the Alias field. Alias is an internal reference that Joomla uses for the article URL. You don't have to enter anything here; Joomla will automatically fill out the Alias field based upon the article title. However, when you change the article title, it's best to make the Alias field empty. This way, Joomla will update its contents to reflect the new article title.
