It is easiest to create your component alerts first before creating the newsletter. 

If you are setting up alerts or newsletters as part of a current awareness service, we recommend that you set up all library/knowledge staff as Administrators, so that they all can amend or set up alerts created by another Administrator. You can email the Tech Care team with the names and email addresses of users to be set up as Administrators.
