News and Calendar elements work differently than regular page elements, in that there is a little explanation of the system for them to show up on the front end.

1. The news/calendar items are generally created and stored in the storage folder for the section. Selecting 'Save document and view page' does not work for news/calendar items as they are not stored on the page on which they are displayed, but in a storage folder.
2. To have the item displayed in the browser, you have to switch to the section page itself. The Internet browser automatically caches (memorizes) the page it displays. So when we add new content and want to view it we have to force the browser to forget the memorized page and load it from scratch.
3. To do this we have to clear the cache in the news/calendar storage folder before going to the page where the content will be displayed.

Clear the Cache

• To clear the cache stay in the storage folder where the news/calendar item is created
• go to the top of the screen in the work area (right column) and select the 'clear cache' icon
• 
• now go the page where the new/calendar item is displayed and select 'show' or 'view webpage'
