How To: Mark Petition as Successful

Congratulations on your successful campaign! 

To mark the petition as a success, go to the petition > click the Admin > Settings tab >  expand Ended and Won section. Check the box labeled Mark petition as successful.

A text box will appear asking for an Ended Story – this story will be displayed on the petition's signature page.

Click Save and the petition's signature page will be automatically updated.

First, the ended story will be displayed in a box below the petition's title. Next, the petition's timeline will be updated with the number of signatures the petition had at the time it was marked as a success. Finally, a success ribbon will appear designating that the campaign was a success. If a user clicks on the banner they'll be taken to a page that lists all of the successful campaigns on the platform.

To make successes even more prominent for your site visitors, consider adding a story about the campaign to the homepage carousel. You can link to the petition's signature page or to a blog post explaining the background of the campaign and how you made it a success. Learn how to add a story to the homepage.
