The Ektron Content Management System (CMS) can be accessed in two ways:
- Using a Web browser to access existing webpages and edit content blocks
- Using the CMS Workarea to add new or edit existing content
Many people find it easier to use the Web browser to navigate through the site to the content they need to edit. When you are logged in (and not in preview mode), colored boxes appear around areas of CMS-managed content as you move your mouse over these areas.
- Green indicates the content is checked in and is available for editing.
- Red indicates the content is checked out by another editor.
- Yellow indicates that edits or a deletion request have been submitted to the publishers for approval.
- Gray indicates the content is approved but pending its start date.
When you right-click your mouse within one of these colored boxes, a toolbar appears. Below is a sample toolbar. The items on the toolbar will vary depending upon the permissions granted to you, whether the content is available for editing, and other factors.
To edit the content, click the Edit icon (
) on the toolbar.
