Change pages via Edit Page mode

[toc]

In release 9.0, page editing has been moved to the Management panel. With this release, the page you can edit determines the theme you can edit. For example, if you can edit the site home page, you will be editing the site theme. This means you have the Site - Edit Theme permission. If you can edit a group home page, you can edit the group theme. This means you have the Group - Edit Theme permission. If you can edit a blog, you can edit the blog theme. This means you have the Blog - Edit Theme permission. If you can edit your profile page, you can edit the user theme. The means you have the Site - Edit User Theme permission.

In Edit Page mode you can change a page's layout, widgets, and navigation.

Here are some notes about using the mode:

  • Pages and editing options are contextual to the page you are editing; for example, an individual's dashboard displays different options from a group home page.
  • Options in the Control Panel (Widget Studio > Manage widgets tab) specify the widgets available for the entire site; in groups; on blog pages, and on user dashboards. When you enter Edit mode on one of these areas (or select a page in it), the chosen widgets are selectable.
  • You can access any page on the site contextually using the Management panel Pages button. For example, from the profile page you can access the login/logout page. 
  • If you export a page containing widgets with scoped properties, they could affect other pages upon import. You can opt in or opt out of including scoped changes in the import.

This procedure outlines editing a dashboard or home page. (For editing other pages, please see "Select a page to edit" for accessing the page.)

    modified portion of page
  2. Click the portion of the page to save. You only need to save the portion(s) which were modified. For example, if you changed a widget on the header, the header will say "Modified," and you will need to save it. If you modified both the header and the page, you will save one portion and then the other. If you select the header, you will not be prompted to choose a save option. If you edit the page, you will be prompted to choose a save option:
  1. Save for this user/group/blog only - The changes will only apply for the contextual user (such as the logged in user or the impersonated user); group, or blog.
  2. Save as the default for every user/group/blog - The changes will only appear to those users, groups, or blogs using the default layout and widgets. If a user or group/blog owner customized the dashboard, the changes you make will not appear for them.
  3. Save as the default and revert customizations for every user/group/blog - All user, group, or blog themes will be affected, and those who customized their themes will have the changes rolled back to the version you save.
  • Click your choice. The portion is saved. If you modified more than one portion, you may need to navigate back by clicking Edit Page to save the unsaved portion.

Revert a header, footer, or page

  1. Click Revert. The portion grid of the page appears.
  2. Click the portion of the page to be reverted. Any changed or customized page will be indicated in the grid. You will be prompted with the following choices:
  3. Undo all unsaved changes - Any changes that have not been saved (from this edit session) will be removed.
  4. Revert to default - Changes made for the user/group/blog since the last save as default will be removed and the default page will be used.
  5. Revert every user/group/blog to the factory default - Any changes to the default as well as any changes in this editing session to the user/group/blog will be undone, and the factory default for the theme will be applied.
  6. Click your choice. The chosen reversion will be applied.
