Section Page Content

The left hand side of the section page editor shows the structure of the section page as a tree view. You can change the appearance of this tree view using the View button in the header: it lets you switch the tree between a Rich View and a Plain View.

Both options display the names of the areas defined by the section page's grid layout, and show which content items have been placed in each area. Neither view shows the exact layout of the section page, although the names of the areas are usually descriptive ("top", "left column" and "right column" are typical examples). The rich view shows more of each teaser's content (and therefore uses more space) than the plain view, which only shows the title of each teaser. You can expand and collapse parts of the tree by clicking on the and graphics/tree-contract.png buttons on the left.

The instructions below describe how to edit the section page content. In order to save any changes you make you must click on the Save Content button at the bottom of the editor window.

Adding Content Items

To add a content item to the section page:

Select the content item you want to add (in the search results list, one of the section's inboxes/lists or your clipboard).
Hold down the left mouse button and drag the content item to the required area in the section page area. The color of the area's title bar changes to indicate that it is now a drop target.
Drop the content item by releasing the mouse button.

If the target area already contains content items, you can drop the new content item between existing items - a short black line appears between the existing content items to show where the content item will be inserted if you drop it.

Removing Content Items

To remove a content item from the section page:

Select the content item to remove.
Select Edit > Remove or press the Delete key.

Note that when you remove a content item from a section page, all you are doing is removing the content item's summary from the section page. You are not deleting the item, nor are you removing it from the section - readers will still be able to find it via other links (should there be any) and via search functions.

Moving Content Items

To move a content item to a new location on the section page:

Select the content item you want to move.
Hold down the left mouse button and drag the content item to the required area in the section page area. The color of the area's title bar changes to indicate that it is now a drop target.
Drop the content item by releasing the mouse button.
