Editing Content

Editing content in WebPal sites follows a typical editing session. This can be described as follows:

  1. Open the sites from the welcome dashboard upon login or from the sites icon in the top left panel. You will now be presented with the document tree outlining all of the content on your website.
  2. Select the root page you would like to edit your content from. This is where you do all of your content editing. Most of your content editing will happen in an "HTML" node.
  3. Insert a new HTML node by right clicking on the chapter and selecting "Insert > html", or clicking on the "Insert > html" button in the action bar. Enter the name and short title as described in the overview.
  4. If an "HTML" node has already been created, simply click on the page you would like to edit. This will open up the text editor as shown below.
