Editing Content

Whether you are adding new content or editing existing content, you will encounter the Edit Content page.

Getting There

There are a few ways to get to the edit content page. For new pages, follow the directions under Adding Content.

For existing pages, you may select pages for editing through the Site Manager. To edit a specific item, click its link or associated edit button Edit Button Example.

Overview

The edit content page has several sections to note.

Edit Content Page Overview

Whether editing existing content or creating new content, you will first encounter details about the item you are editing.

  • Type: This specifies the type of item you are editing.
  • Status: This is the current status of the item you are editing. Published means the page is published onto your live site. Draft means the page is saved, not published, and therefore not accessible by users on the front end.

Just below the item details is a set of useful links:

  • View Active Content: Opens the currently published version of the content in a new browser window.
  • View Content Version Opens the current version of the content that is being edited. The difference from View Active Content is that this version has not yet been published.
  • Version History: Opens the Version History page. Here you can see previous versions of the page being edited. Visit the Version History page for more information.
  • Permissions: Opens the options for user permissions for the content that is being edited.

Next are the edit content tabs. Each tab gives you several options for customizing your page.
