Options and Controls

At the bottom of the editor window is a Page area and a set of control buttons.

The Page area contains an Options button.

The options available in this list are publication-specific. Some grid layouts may have options. If you select a grid layout with options, then the Options button is enabled; if you select a grid layout without options, then the Options button is disabled.

Clicking on the Options button (if it is enabled) displays a dialog containing the current layout's options. These options are part of the layout definition, and are therefore publication- and layout-specific.

The following control buttons are displayed:

Preview/Preview All

Selecting Preview displays a preview of the current state of the section page in your browser (including all changes you have made, even ones you haven't saved). If you click on the drop-down control at the right end of the button, you will see that there is also a Preview all option. If you select this, then you get a preview that includes all changes made to any of the content items on the page.

Publish

Saves any changes you have made, makes this section page the active page (the one displayed in the publication) and publishes it. If you haven't made any changes then the button is disabled.

Save

Saves any changes you have made. If you haven't made any changes then the button is disabled.

Changes saved using this button are not published. If you are working on the active page, a revised copy of the page is created and saved. The changes will not be published until you explicitly publish them by clicking the Publish button.

Save & close

Saves any changes you have made and closes the section page editor.

Changes saved using this button are not published. If you are working on the active page, a revised copy of the page is created and saved. The changes will not be published until you reopen the page and explicitly publish them by clicking the Publish button.
