Instructions

Step 1: Adding Content

• After logging in, you will be on your user page. Click on Manage in the upper left-hand corner of the page to open the Management Toolbar.

• From the Management Toolbar, click on Content.

• Click Add Content

Step 2: Selecting a Content Type

• Once you are on the Add Content page, you will see a list of different content types that you can create.

One content type that is available on all sites is the Basic Page. Below we will cover how to create a Basic Page. Once you are familiar with creating a Basic Page, you can move on to using other content types.

Step 3: Creating a Basic Page

Basic pages are the simplest content type you can create. They only have two displayed fields: Headline and Body.

After you have navigated to the Add Content page, select the Basic Page content type.

*Please note that the headline is a required field.

• In this step, save the page without publishing. You will be directed to the newly set up page.

• Click the Edit tab and continue on to the last step.

Step 4: Publishing the Page

On any page you create, you will see a right sidebar with the following fields:

*The revision log is most important for major updates after the page/content is created. If you ever needed to revert to a past revision, having the log is helpful.

• Enter a relevant message in Revision log message.

• Make sure to leave Create new revision checked.

• Check the Publishing status checkbox if you are ready to make the page live on your site.

• Click on Save at the bottom of the form.
