Editing a Page

You can edit an existing Page to change general information, Component Presentations and Metadata.

Before you begin

  • To edit a Page, you must have Page Management rights and Write permissions for the containing Structure Group.
  • You cannot edit the Page if the Content Manager assigned the Page to a different user in a Workflow Process. Only the assignee can edit the Page.
  • You can edit a Page if it is a local item or a local copy. You cannot edit a shared Page. For information about localizing a Page, see BluePrinting.

Procedure

  1. To edit a Page, navigate to the Publication and Structure Group in which the Page you want to edit is located.
  2. In the list view, select the Page you want to edit.
  3. Click the Open icon in the Home tab of the Ribbon.
  4. If required, edit general Page information in the fields on the General tab.
  5. To edit Component Presentations, select the Component Presentation tab. Double-click the Component to open it for editing.
  6. To remove a Component Presentation, select a listed Component Presentation and click Remove.
  7. To add a Component Presentation to the Page, first find the Component you want to add. You can do this in the following ways:
    • In your Favorites in the tree area, navigate to a Folder or Category and select it. If you selected a Category, select a Keyword in the tree or content area to see Components that have been classified with this Keyword or a child Keyword.
    • In your Building Blocks Folder structure, navigate to the location of the Component you want to add.
    • In your Categories and Keywords, select a Keyword. The List View displays Components that have been classified with this Keyword or a child Keyword.
    When you have located the Component(s) you want to add, do the following
    1. In the list view, select one or more Components.
    2. Select a Component Template. If you select more than one Component, the Component Template is applied to all of the selected Components.
    3. Click the Insert button. A message appears at the bottom of the pane which confirms that you have added one or more Component Presentations to the Page.
    4. Repeat this step to add additional Components.
    5. After you finish adding Component Presentations, click Close to close the Component Presentations dialog.
    6. Click the Move up button or the Move down button to adjust the ordering of the Component Presentations on the Page.
  8. On the toolbar, click Save and Close.
  9. Depending on the Structure Group that contains this Page, you may now be prompted to add this Page to a Bundle so that it can enter workflow. You can choose to skip this step, but until you add it to a Bundle, your changes will not be checked in.
  10. If this item must be added to a Bundle, a dialog opens asking you if you would like to do so now. You can choose Not Now to close the dialog, but you see a warning informing you that your item is not in a Bundle, and the same dialog will appear every time you save changes to the item. Alternatively, if you select Add, a Bundle selection dialog appears.
  11. In the tree structure on the left, navigate to a Publication and Folder that contains a Bundle to which you want to add the item, and add it to that Bundle by selecting the Bundle and clicking Add. This adds the item to the selected Bundle and closes the dialog. If the Bundle is already in workflow, the item will be too. You can also select Close, which has the same effect as clicking Not Now in the previous dialog.

The Content Manager stores a modified version of the Page.
