Creating & Managing a New Page

1. Navigate to the applicable login screen. Each site has its own login:

Main:https://business.columbia.edu/user/login

Academics:https://academics.business.columbia.edu/user/login

Students:https://students.business.columbia.edu/user/login

2. Click "Login through CAS"

3. Log in through CAS (requires Duo multifactor authentication)

4. Once logged in, you'll be redirected to the homepage (business.columbia.edu). You'll know you're logged in when you see the editor ribbon at the top of the page.

Click "Add content"

5. Scroll down the list of content types on https://business.columbia.edu/node/add

Click "Page"

6. Click the "Title" field and enter a title for your page

7. Click on the "Summary" field.

Enter a page summary that is search engine optimized. This content will NOT appear on the page.

8. Now you need to add content to the page. You do this in the "Body Content" section of the edit page.

By default, there is a "Text Content" template card on all new pages. This can bed removed if you do not need it and are planning to use another type of template. T

To use another template, click the down arrow to see the full list of content templates.

9. There are a number of templates to choose from that have predesigned styles and formats. Select as many as desired.

10. For this example, we will be working with the default "Text Content" template card.

Now you can enter your content into the template. For the Text Content template, this is a standard text field with options for:

• Text styling & presets
• Links
• Bullets & numbered lists
• Quote blocks
• Inserting images or media
• Charts
• Buttons
• Accordions
• Anchors

There are also an option for source code to edit content in HTML. the "E" icon is for using the CKEditor feature (advanced feature not commonly used by standard users).

11. The included text presets are for 6 headings, standard paragraph, and a pull quote. The exact styling will change once a page is published.

Please make sure you use the headings in order to ensure your content is accessibility compliant. Use bold and italics sparingly as these styles can make screen readers for the visually impaired not perform optimally.

12. Buttons are another common feature used. To create a button, click this icon in the Text Content template.

13. Enter the title and link for your button.

By default, buttons have no icon and are white. You can add an icon in the "Link Type" setting.

To switch to a black button, click "Show options" and toggle to "Primary."

"Show options" also has an option for "Open in a new tab", which is suggested for any links that go to a site outside of CBS.

Be sure to click the green check mark after you make any changes or they won't be saved (this is easy to miss).

14. Here you can see two buttons. Note that there is not a space between them. To make a space/break after a button, click on the blue arrow on the bottom right of the button.

Note: it is easy to click too low and click on the "Powered by CKEditor" link in the bottom right. This will open a new tab and should not impact your work if you make this mistake.

15. Continue adding more content templates to your page, as desired.

16. If there are multiple content templates used, you can move the order of the templates by clicking "Collapse all" in the Body Content header.

Then use the arrow icon to adjust the order of the cards. Unsaved changes will indicated with a yellow caution triangle icon and a warning message.

17. You can also add a right sidebar to a page. To do this, click on the down arrow next to the content templates.

18. The options for the sidebar are an Evergreen Link Embed and Text Content

19. Enter your content

Tip: Note: In addition to adding a sidebar to an individual page, sidebars can be applied to pages automatically based on the URL. This is useful when displaying recurring content, such as contact information, across multiple pages.

This functionality must be configured by the MarComms Digital Marketing team, so please reach out for help.

20. By default, pages are made with URLs that are in the format of "business.columbia.edu/node/####"

To make your URL specific and/or within your existing website's hierarchy, click "URL alias"

21. Uncheck the "Generate automatic URL alias" checkbox (checked by default)

22. Click the "URL alias" field and enter the name you'd like to use. The URL should start with "/"

If you are adding a page to your existing site, be mindful of the pathing when selecting your name.

For instance, to add something to the MarComms website under the exiting Public Relations page, we would use: /marcomms/public_relations/page_name

23. To make a page live, check the "Published" box. By default, this is unchecked.

24. Click "Save"

25. Your page is now saved.

Review your work and edit as needed.

1. On your page, click "Edit" in the editor ribbon

2. Make any changes you'd like, and click "Save" at the bottom of the page.

3. Review your edited page.

Tip: Note: each version of the page is saved in the "Revisions" tab. Please see below for managing revisions.

1. By default, all published pages are viewable by the public and editable by any content editor. To set more security to a page, click "Group Permissions"

2. Click the "Protect this node with groups membership" field.

3. You can edit either the view access or edit access. Typically pages are left viewable to all, but this can be adjusted. The process for each is the same.

Click the "Select/Search groups" field.

4. Search for your department name.

You can select between either the full department, or specific user types (faculty, staff, etc.).

Alert: Please make sure all pages are editable by the Marketing & Communications department

5. Make your selections and click save.

1. Click "Revisions"

2. If a page has been edited, you will see different versions in the "Revisions" tab.

If you would like to go back to a previous version, click "Revert" on the version you would like to go back to.

Note: this will not delete the current version.

3. Click "Revert" to confirm

4. You will now see a new version noted as a reverted version of the original.

1. If you would like to work on a page, or create a page that will have a similar structure, it can sometimes be easier to clone a page rather than editing a live page or creating one from scratch. A cloned page will be identical other than title (it will be "Clone of ORIGINAL TITLE") and the URL.

To create a clone, click "Clone"

2. You now have the cloned page. Make whatever changes you'd like to this page.
