Edit basic page

You can revise existing content on a page or add new content to it. This page provides basic instructions.

How to make changes 

  1. Determine whether these directions apply to the page you want to change -- see information to the right on this page "When to use these directions".
  2. Navigate to the page you want to change.
  3. Click on the Layout button at the top of the page.
  4. If you want to change the layout of an existing section that has options, such as the relative size of the columns in a two-column layout, click on the red link at the top of the section called "Configure [name of section]", make the change, and save.
  5. You can delete an existing section by clicking on the x next to the "Configure" heading at the top left of the section. This will delete the section and all blocks in the section.
  6. To change, move, or delete an existing block, move your mouse to the upper right corner of the block until you see a gray circle with a pencil in it. Click on that icon and choose Configure to modify, remove block to delete, and move if you want to reposition the block . When moving to a new section or new area of the current section, select that section and are from the Region pull-down. When moving up or down within the existing section and region, drag the handle next to the block.
  7. You can add new sections and blocks following the directions for adding a web page.

When to use these directions

These directions apply only to pages with content type "basic page" or "ASURA private". Those general-purpose content types are used for creating pages that are unique, i.e., not one of a series like obituaries, Board minutes, and volunteer bios.

Pages using the series-type content types should be edited using directions specific to them,  available via the Website Tasks - Custom Content menu.
