X unveils ‘Articles’ for Premium+ users, enabling them to write and share long-form content
X Articles feature is exclusive to Premium+ users and verified organizations.
X, the microblogging platform previously known as Twitter, has now introduced a new feature that allows users to share long-form written content. However, this feature is not available to all users. The firm announced that this long-form content-creating feature called Articles can only be used by paid users. Only X Premium+ users or verified organisations can currently access this feature. The company has not yet confirmed if the feature will eventually roll out to all other non-paying users as well.
In a post on X, the firm announced that Articles will be available to X Premium+ and verified organisations from March 8. It will allow them to write and share long-form content with their followers. The Article composer can be found in the Articles section in the sidebar on the web version of X. Users can start creating their Article from there.

According to an Engadget report, the character limit for an article is 100,000 characters or approximately 15,000 words.
Similar to regular X posts, articles will be displayed on users’ profiles in a new Articles tab and on their followers’ timelines once published. Articles can be easily distinguished from regular X posts by a unique icon and layout.
After publication, users have the option to edit or delete an article. To edit a published article, users can navigate to the specific article or the Published timeline in the article composer. From there, they can click on the three-dot menu > Edit Article > Confirm, which will temporarily unpublish it for editing. Once the necessary changes are made, the article can be republished. To delete an article, users can find the Delete option under the same three-dot menu.
