Creating New Content

To create new content, go to the group you want to associate the content with, view the Content or Nodes for that group and you will see a button above the listing that says Add New Content. Click that button and you will see a list of content types you have access to create for your group. Click the appropriate one and you will be presented with an empty container for your content.

General Content Creation Items

1. All content has to have a title. The title also becomes the end of the URL or address of the page. Therefore, don't make the titles too long. In addition, there is seldom a reason to include St. Lawrence University or the name of the group/department in the title, since that information will automatically be present on the page and in the URL.

2. At the very bottom of the screen, there will be a pulldown menu that is defaulted to Draft, so that when you save the content, it is still in draft mode. Once you are ready to publish your new content, select Published from that menu and click save.

3. To add a piece of content to your group's left-hand navigation, the best way is to create the content and then manually add it to the Group Menu.
