If you are a regular CMS user, you may notice some changes to the content management system when you next try to create or edit a page.
We have redesigned the interface and layout to make the tools easier to use and to provide you with more information when you are editing.
‘Content’ tab (NEW)
Provides more detail about the different components of the page and provides access to the page’s feature panels.
‘Page setup’ tab (NEW)
Contains information related to the page's technical and structural set-up (URL, meta-description, underlying associations, etc.).
‘Manage versions’ page (NEW)
Where you can create and access different versions of the page.
This has replaced the previous 'drafts' tab.
‘Activity log’ tab (NEW)
This provides a chronological log of any changes to the page.
‘Linkage’ tab (NEW)
This shows where the page appears in links across the site.
We are gradually introducing a new-style text editor into different CMS components. This enhanced text editor introduces new functionality to improve formatting and content management.
Until the new text editor is rolled out everywhere, you may notice that some design components still use the legacy editor.
Contributing toward our website's content should be a relatively painless experience. Our aim is to make the system quick and easy to use.
Collectively, we have a lot of information to manage all the time. These improvements to the CMS will make this challenge easier.
The tools we are developing should help us to create, update, iterate, transition and replace content more seamlessly.
As part of our agile approach to website development, we will continue to make improvements to the system after we deploy the initial changes.
We are always happy to help you get the most out of the tools and design better website content.
