Modify news items

The following code modifies a news item by the ID of its master version.

First, you get an instance of the NewsManager class. Then, you get the master version corresponding to the ID. To get a temp version of the item, you call Lifecycle.CheckOut with the master version as an argument. You make all the modifications to the temp version. In this example you update the title of the news item and its URL. To transfer the changes to the master version, you call Lifecycle.CheckIn with the temp version as argument. By default, when calling the CheckIn method, the temp version gets deleted. Then, you call SaveChanges to persist the changes. Finally, to publish the news item, you call the MessageWorkflow method of the WorkflowManager class and pass the required parameters.
