Editing a Page

Because Pages are the assets that contain the actual content, clicking Edit on a page offers much greater functionality than editing other files.

Depending on the type of page being edited, users may be given a series of form fields for inputting automatically formatted text (Structure Data Definitions) or a word processor, such as WYSIWYG editor in which they may choose their own formatting and style options.

  1. Using Structured Authoring
    Structured authoring simply refers to pages that do not require formatting via the WYSIWYG. Instead, pages using structured authoring (also called data definitions) allow users to type plain text into various fields, or select various options.
  2. Using the WYSIWYG »
    When a user clicks Edit on most pages, the default region opens in the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Editor.
    1. Selecting Styles
      Styles are an easy way to cleanly format text via the WYSIWYG.
    2. Insert a Link
      You may insert and edit links within the WYSIWYG editor.
    3. Insert an Image
      You can insert an image that is located in one of the website directories (in the left asset tree), or one that is on the computer’s hard drive.
    4. Insert a Table
      Within the WYSIWYG editor you may easily create, copy and delete tables.
    5. HTML Toggle
      Advanced users who wish to tweak the content of a page via the HTML code may simply click the HTML toggle icon to switch back and forth between views.

  3. Adding Metadata
    Metadata offers additional information about an asset (for example, a page) that helps to classify or describe the asset.
  4. Spell Check
    The Spell Checker checks and reports all words (content + metadata) that is not found in the system's dictionary.
  5. Link Check
    The Link Checker checks and reports any broken links found in an asset.
  6. Accessibility Check
    The Accessibility Checker (also known as the 508c checker) checks and reports errors that, when resolved, result in an enhanced usability ranking for published content.
