Editing a Content Block Finding a Content Block The Editing Process Introduction to Ektron CMS200/300 A lot of your work involves editing existing content or creating new content. Ektron CMS200/300 provides three methods for finding content to be updated. You can use whichever method is easiest. • Navigate through your Web site to the content block you want to edit Find the content block through the Workarea, which resembles Windows Explorer and lets you find a content block by navigating through a folder tree. See Also: ”The Workarea” on page 14 Use the Search button ( ), which appears on many screens. When clicked, the search button displays a screen that prompts you to enter keywords and then finds content blocks that contain those keywords.

Introduction to Ektron CMS200/300 The editor resembles popular word processing software. You can enter text, then select it and click a button to change its display properties. For example, you can make text bold, change the color, or copy and paste it. You can also insert images, tables, links to other Web pages and check spelling, The Lifecycle of a Content Block After you edit the content block, you typically submit it for approval by one or more individuals who oversee changes to your Web site. These people can review, edit and approve the change. When the last approver signs off, the new content becomes available on the Web site. In some cases, you are one of the content approvers. In this case, you receive an email notifying you that a content block needs approval. You look it over, change it as needed, then pass it on to the next approver.
