News Manager's user interface has been designed to be simple and easy to navigate. At the top of each page, a gray navigation bar allows you to list all the news articles in the program, change Setup Options, or logoff. At any point, you may navigate to other sections of the program, but be cautious to save your work before you do so. When creating a new record or modifying an already existing one, no changes are recorded until the "Save" button is clicked. The same is true for Setup Options.

If you accidently go to another page or click "Cancel", you can usually click "Back" on your web browser, and it will remember what was last entered in the form. This functionality may or may not be available, as it is dependant on your web browser, not News Manager.

When browsing through news articles, you can use the Keyword Search function to narrow down the number of entries to search through. News Manager remembers your last Keyword for a while if you leave the page and return, and it may be confusing at first to only see one or two records. To show all of your records again, use the "List All" button, which resets the Keyword Search.
