    Helpful Tips.

    Menu Columns and Lists.

    The CMS is a flexible system created for easy editing in any environment, whether you are working from a small screen laptop or just prefer the minimalistic view. 
    You can hide the side menu by clicking the 'burger' button, and it will unpin the menu, hiding it when it's not in use. You can re-pin the menu back by clicking the same button. 

    Additionally, you can hide the 'Manage Pages' list, giving you more space to edit individual pages of the site. Click the arrow shown below to collapse this list.

     Parent/Child Folders.

    The CMS gives you the ability to organise your pages into relevant folders by setting up parent/child relationships. This provides a clear visual of the way your site is set up. You can expand your Parent folder by clicking the sign, which will display all the Child pages below. 


    Re-ordering your list of pages has never been easier. Just grab, using the 'drag handle' icon on the left-hand side of the relevant page, then drag and drop to where you want it. You can also set the Parent/Child relationship this way as well.


    Viewing your page.

    To view your pages, simply click on the page itself; alternatively, you can click the 'pencil' icon which will open your page in a side window, where you can start editing.
