Module 1: Managing Content (Part 2)

Hello, welcome back to module 1 of the Basic CMS Training, and this is Managing Content, part 2. In this video, we will go over how to edit, view or preview, delete and recover content. Again, in this example I will work with pages, but the steps that I’m going to show you apply to all types of content.

To edit your page content, first, hover over your page title and click on “Edit”. You will be taken to the content editor. Once you’re done editing, don’t forget to click “Save Draft” or “Publish” to save your changes.

To see how your page looks on the front end, from the list of pages, hover over the page title and click on “Preview” or “View”, depending on the status of your page. If you are in the content editor screen, you can click on the permalink below the page title to preview the page.

To delete a page, again, hover over the page’s title and click “Trash”. You can find deleted pages by selecting “Trash” on the page filter bar. To bring a page back from the trash, hover over the page’s title again, and select “Restore”.

Try It Out!

Now that you have learned how to edit, view/preview, delete and recover page, time to try it out!

Make some edits to a page you created in the last training topic, and save your changes.
View the page you just edited on the front end.
Delete the other page that you created in the last training topic.
Restore the page you just deleted.
