Managing content

How to manage content using the Content Dashboard

Step 1: Locate the content to manage

  1. Navigate to Content to see a listing view of all of the available content in the site (see Content Dashboard for more details about finding and editing content using the dashboard). 
  2. You can search for the content or find the content within the list of content available for editing. To search: 
    1. Enter the title of the content, or keywords that would help you find the content.
    2. Select the Content type (if necessary) to help filter results to only that content type.
    3. You can also filter by Published status

Step 2: Manage content items

  1. To edit a content item, select Edit from the Operations menu. This will open the content in edit mode.
  2. To clone a content item, select Clone from the Operations menu. This will open a new duplicate content item in edit mode, ready to be edited with new content.
  3. Content deletion options are only available to Site Editor and Site Administrator roles. From the Content Dashboard, you can delete content items in the following ways:
    1. Delete a single content item: Select Delete from the Operations menu, then select Delete from the confirmation dialog.
    2. Delete multiple items: Select the checkbox next to each content item to delete, then select Delete Content from the Action menu at the bottom of the content list. Select Apply to Selected Items, then select Delete from the confirmation page.
