Updates to a page are completed using the page editor. This is where you can edit text, add links or images and upload files to a page. The page editor is also where you can preview your changes before publishing, then finally submit your changes once they are complete.

Page Administration Tools

The page editor view provides options for managing new content on your page. You can undo or redo recent changes, view an outline of the page, preview your changes before publishing, and finally submit the page changes for review.

The following options are highlighted in the image above:

  • Undo/Redo: Undo or redo the last action you took on the page. For example, if you have formatted text and decide you don’t want to keep that format, click the Undo icon (on the left) to unformat it.

  • Outline View: When clicked, a panel is displayed on the left side of the page editor with a list of all the content items that are currently on the page including headings, text elements (paragraphs, lists, buttons, etc.), and media (videos, images, etc.). This is useful for locating a specific content item on a large page, as clicking on the element highlights where it is located on the page (see below).

     

  • Save Draft: Click Save Draft to save your changes but not submit them for approval. This prevents you from losing your changes if you choose to finish them later.

  • Preview: Use this option to preview the page before submitting it. This allows you to see how your new content will look once published live. You can preview the page as it looks on a desktop browser, tablet, and mobile device. After selecting this option, click Preview in new tab to open a new browser tab with your unpublished changes.

     

  • Publish Date/Time: You can adjust the publish date and time if you do not want to publish the changes immediately and instead push page updates to the live site at predetermined time in the future. By default, the page is immediately updated after being approved by OMC. By clicking the date/time in the Publish row, you can pick a future time and date for your changes to be published. Even if OMC approves your changes before then, the page will not update until your chosen publish date/time. 

  • Submit Revision: Click Submit Revision when you are finished editing and the page is ready to be published. The revisions will be reviewed by the Web Team and will be published to live site after approval. You will be informed if the edits are rejected.
