How to Edit Page Content

Edit Page Content

1. Edit a Page

Once you've created a page in the Navigation you can go in and edit it. Click on Edit

Edit a Page

2. Click on Drafts

When you first arrive on the editing canvas you will see the Draft tab active. In Build with Advantage you're always working in "Draft Mode" so you don't have to worry about mistakenly making changes to the live page.

Click on Drafts

3. Click on Live

This the current Live version of the page you are editing. Live mode is 'read only' meaning you can't make any changes.

Click on Live

4. From the Action menu you can select Preview to preview the page.

From the Action menu you can select Preview to preview the page.

5. Replace Draft

You will want to copy the live version to Draft. As a novice this is good practice, once you become familiar you do not need to replace the live version to draft every time. It is good habit to form as the Live version is the latest copy of that page. In Draft Mode, if multiple people have roles at your organization to edit content, different people could make different edits, without you being aware.

6. View the Templates by clicking on Layouts on the right side and use the Templates dropdown menu.

27. Click on Full Width

Here, you can change the size of the module. In the grid system modules will automatically adjust on screen size and by changing the module width you are free to design as you wish. You can have one module as 23% and another 75% - just remember you only have 100% of each line - therefore you can't have 3 modules as 25%, 25% and 50%, it would have to be 33.33% each or 1/3rd.

Click on Full Width

28. Click on Deactivate this module

Click on the "Checkmark" to deactivate the module. This will hide the module from being seen when published and is indicated by the orange circle with a line through it. This is a good feature when you want to hide a piece of content but might want to use again in the future.

Click on Deactivate this module

29. Delete a module

Clicking the red garbage can icon will delete the module. Be careful you can't undo this.
