Edit a topic page

Please refer to the Content Page Types list to see which components are available on a Topic Page.

Getting started

Because topic pages are the most commonly used type of page, this documentation will review the material fully.  In other parts of the documentation, we will only talk about the parts that are specific to the page in question (i.e. that don't exist on a topic page).

• Field names are usually bolded and sit above the space where information can be entered (see "Title" in the screenshot below)
• Asterisks indicate that a field is mandatory
• Underneath the space for the content, you will find helpful hints and information about what you should provide in this area as well as details like character count maximums etc. 

• The meta description is not displayed anywhere on a published page and is not visible to visitors.  It is strictly used for search results (search engine optimization or SEO) so it should - in 160 characters or less - contain information that would make this page findable during a search.  If you're not sure what to include in a meta description, try looking at other pages in this department/school or talk to your Marketing Specialist.
• You can expand or decrease the space in the field by using the handle at the lower right.  You cannot increase the character limitation from 160.
• If you are working on a school page, click the box next to that question.  You will be asked to choose a feature image for the page.
• If there is a news topic relevant to your page, select the topic from the drop-down list.  If there is none related, leave 'none' selected.

Topic content is the main part of any page.  There are options for how you want to present your information - you choose components to build your page nicely.  

If you are creating a new page, you will see:
