The most common task you'll be performing on your site is managing its content. Content is made up of all of the pages on your site and the text and media displayed on them.

Using the Content Dashboard

The content dashboard is the primary interface for managing all your sites existing content. It can be accessed by clicking the "Content" menu item in the admin toolbar after logging in. The dashboard is made up of several content libraries, each accessible by clicking one of the tabs on the page (Content, Media, Documents, Custom blocks). The default library that's shown is the content library, which shows a list of content items, like pages, news articles, events, etc.

The content library gives you the ability to:

• Search for and find existing content items to manage.
• View, edit, or delete individual items.
• Use the checkboxes in the results table and the "bulk action" dropdown menu to delete, publish, or unpublish multiple content items at once.
• Add new content items.

Editing Pages While Viewing Them

Once logged in, you'll notice a set of tabs appear on most pages of your site as you browse:

You can use these tabs to quickly manage the content itemA individual item of content. For example, a page, a news article, and an event are all content items, which correspond to the Page, News, and Event content types, respectively. you are viewing.

Replicating Content

Sometimes it's useful to replicate (clone) existing content items. For example, you may have a yearly event. Rather than creating an entirely new version of the event every year, you can find last year's event, replicate it, and make changes to the date before publishing it. Another example is you spent a lot of time creating a page with a highly custom layout, and you'd like to reuse most of the page for a new section of your website. Rather than starting from scratch, you can replicate the existing page and make only the changes needed.

All content items (e.g. Page, News, Event, Person, etc) can be replicated:

1. Edit or visit the content item and click the "Replicate" tab.
2. Enter a new title for the replicated item and submit the form.
3. The replicated content is created and saved. You'll be brought directly edit form for the new content, where you can make changes and publish the content.

Note that all replicated content is set to unpublished. If the original content had a menu item, the replicated content will not have a menu item created for it automatically. All other fields should be copied, including taxonomy termA term is an individual item that belongs to some taxonomy vocabulary, typically used for categorizing content. For example, a vocabulary "Colors" may have terms in it "Red", "Green", "Blue". selections and page layouts.

Trash

When content items are deleted, they are moved to the Trash for 30 days before being permanently deleted.

If someone tries to view the trashed page by its path, they will see a 404 Not Found page.

Content Managers and Site Admins can access the trash listing page to view and restore trashed items. They can also purge them manually instead of waiting for the 30 days for it to happen automatically.

Only certain types of content are moved to the trash when they are deleted. This includes content from content types like Pages, News, People, and Events. Media, documents, publications, reusable blocks, and taxonomy terms are not moved to the trash when deleted. They are deleted immediately and cannot be restored.

Managing the Trash

Site Admins and Content Managers can visit the trash by going to Content > Trash from the admin toolbar:

Items are listed in the order they were deleted, with the most recently deleted items appearing at the top.

Clicking the item allows you to view it, and the operations column in the table provides the ability to restore the item or permanently delete it.

Menu Links to Trashed Content

Menu links remain in place until trashed content is permanently deleted, but users won't see the menu link.
