Creating a New Page
- Browse to the folder where the page should exist. It is very important to know where you want a page to exist, as its placement in a folder will affect where it appears in the navigation.
- Go to the “Add New...” User Option (right corner of green bar), and select “Page.”
- This will open a page in the edit mode.
- Complete the page title, and summary.
- To have content display on this page, you need to add some content to the body content area.
- IMPORTANT: If you are adding content from Word, do not paste it directly into the body content area. Instead, use the “Paste from Word” option by clicking the icon of a clipboard with a "W" on it, found in the editing toolbar directly above the content area box. This will open a smaller window, into which you then paste the text. Using the Paste from Word option will strip out unwanted code that can make the site less accessible.
- Format the content on the page using the styles options.
- Select the "settings" subtab at the top of the body content area.
- In the settings area: If the page should not be in the navigation, select “exclude from navigation.”
- If it should stay in the navigation, do nothing.
- Select save at the very bottom of the page.
- Look at the page in the view mode, test links. Review the URL. If you wish to shorten the name on the page, you can rename it.
- Submit the page when you are ready to publish it.
- To submit, while in the "view" tab for the page, go to the banner that shows all the user tabs at the top of the body content area.
- Find the State option at the far right of the banner, and select to drop down arrow. Select "submit" from the drop down menu. This will put the page into a pending state, and the site editor will review it and publish it within 24 to 48 hours.
