Editing Content

1. Access the page that you wish to edit by selecting it from the left folder menu.

Left menu file selection
Note: You should only see the folders that you have permission to edit.
Tip: Click on the [+] icon to open a folder without selecting it.

2. Select the page you wish to edit.

You should see a preview of what the page looks like.

3. Select the “Edit” tab.

You should now see the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) or page content editor.

4. Add or edit existing text in the WYSIWYG editor.

Tip: If you are copying text from Microsoft Word or from another website, and you notice some odd formatting, try pasting the text into Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac) first, copying it again, and then pasting it in the WYSIWYG editor. Notepad and TextEdit will convert your content as plain-text and clean up any underlying formatting.

5. Save a draft of your page if you plan to make more edits at a later time before publishing.

Submitting and Publishing Your Page

If you are satisfied with your edits, you are now ready to publish your page.

6. Add an annotation describing what changes you’ve made.

Tip: Annotations will help you track what changes you’ve made should you need to recall an older version of your page.

7. Click on the “Submit” button. Submitting your page will register your updates with the CMS tool. You’ll still need to “Publish” your page to push it to the live website.

8. Click on the “Publish” tab and then click the “Submit” button again. Your page will now publish to the live website.

9. Check your page on the live website to confirm that your edits are there.

Note: You may need to “refresh” your page to see your edits.
