Managing Content

EDITING CONTENT:

1. Go to the page you would like to edit and click the “Edit Page” button in the upper right.
2. Once you enter edit mode, you will have various “blocks” on a page that can be edited.  To edit a block, click on the block and click “Edit.”
3. Edit text just as you would in a typical word processing application.

Tips

• If you can't edit tabbed content on the page, the tabbed content is being loaded from a child page. Use the Sitemap to navigate to the child page and edit it.
• Use the dropdown box in the upper-left section of the edit window to change the content type between paragraph and headings 2-4. Heading 1 is reserved for the title of the page. Use the remaining headings to organize the page into a hierarchical order of related content.
• Use the table icon to insert a table.
• To link to a file (such as a PDF), highlight the text you would like to link and click the “Add File” link.
• To link to another page within your site, highlight the text you would like to link and click the “Insert Link to Page” link.
• To link to a page on a different website, highlight the text you would like to link, and click the chain link icon.  Enter the URL (must start with http://) and click “Insert.”
• Never use all caps (use bold to emphasize short pieces of text).
• If it’s an email address, make it a link.
• Don’t unnecessarily capitalize words.
• If no content exists yet on a page, click “Add to Main” and select the “Content” block.

ADDING IMAGES:

1. Go into edit mode on a page.
2. In the main content section on a page, click “Add to Main,” then click “Add Block.”
3. Select the “Image” block.
4. Click “Choose Image” and browse to the image within the File Manager, or upload a new image using the form in the upper right.

 Tips

• Images that are meant to take up the fill width of the page should be scaled to 1200 pixels wide.
• To wrap text around an image, move the image block (see section “To rearrange content on a page”) so that it is above the content, then click “Custom Template” and select “Align Right.” (Images can only be aligned right when wrapping text).  It will not wrap the text until you exit edit mode.

REARRANGING CONTENT:

1. Go into edit mode on a page.
2. Click on any block on the page and click “Move.”
3. Re-arrange blocks block dragging them with your mouse.
4. Once you’ve finished re-arranging them, click “Save Positioning.”

PUBLISHING CONTENT:

After you have edited content on a page and clicked "Save changes", the changes are still not visible to the public until you have published a page.

To publish a page:

1. Click “Exit Edit Mode” in the upper-left.
2. If you are sure that you are ready to publish, click “Publish My Edits.” Otherwise, click “Discard my edits.”
