Content types

Block

Blocks allow you to add content to the right-hand navigation or to the bottom of the page. Blocks can also be used to showcase views, i.e., News or Events.

Page

A page houses the majority of your content. Whether it's a basic page or a landing page, you can add various media, such as images, graphs, or video.

Person

Adding a person generally indicates that you are adding a staff member or university employee.

Slider | Homepage, secondary page

The template allows you to add an image and headline text to a page.

UCSF Publication

The UCSF Publication content type allows you to add a publication to your page or assign a publication to a "person." 

Find content

To browse all content on the site, click Content in the Admin toolbar. 

The filter at the top of the page allows you to select a content type or look for content that is "published" or "unpublished." This makes it easier to find a specific content item (especially on a densely populated site). It can also be helpful if you are looking for an unpublished page.

How to edit a page

  • To edit a page, go to the page on the website you would like to edit, and click on the "edit" text.
  • This will open the WYSIWYG edit screen.
  • Make your changes and then click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page.
