Positioning and Moving Content
Log in and choose the section in which you want to create or edit a page.
The Section Management Screen:
When you first log in, you will see a page listing your sections.
Click the link for the section you wish to work on to get to your section management screen.
You can also get to this (while logged in!) by clicking the Section link at the top of any page within your section.
Add Content:
From your section management screen, under “Add Content to [section],” click “Page.”
Main Content:
Only fields in Main Content are required no matter what. Carousel and Sidebar tabs contain fields that are required only if you are using those elements.
For example: if you are adding a carousel slide, it must have an image and a body.

Linking to a specific part of a page: These links are called “anchor links.”
To add an anchor link to a page, click the flag icon.
Choose a name for your anchor (example: “MyAnchor”).
The address of your anchor will then be the address of your page plus “#AnchorName”. For example, “http://www.brynmawr.edu/department/page#MyAnchor”.
Photos in body text: these may not be cropped or otherwise edited once they have been inserted into body text. You will need to delete the photo and re-insert it, or edit the photo using other software before uploading it.

Positioning content:
Once you’ve saved your content, you can move it around the page or landing page by going to that page and clicking “customize this page” at the bottom.
Drag and drop items to change their placement within the page.
You can also use this feature to delete sidebar content (Contact Info, etc) that has been set at the section level, if you’re replacing it with content set at the page level.
Do NOT use this feature to delete content like Intro text, body text, or other items that are standard on pages. Go back to edit mode and delete the text you do not want.
If content you’ve entered into a page is not displaying, or if you have deleted the box for an item you need, contact help@brynmawr.edu for assistance.
