How to Use the CMS

New Users

If you are a new user, be sure to read the Log In section before using the CMS to familiarize yourself with the interface.

New Sites

If you are building a brand new site, use your content outline as a guide to begin creating individual folders for each top-level item in your primary, secondary, and header navigations.

The Importance of "index" Pages

Every folder you create will automatically appear in the left navigation once it contains a page with a system name of "index" within it. Learn more about system names and index pages.
