2. Adding an Editor Item
- Click Add Item and select Editor.
- Click Next.
- Set an expiry date if needed and add keywords. Keywords help users find the document through master search. Include as many relevant keywords as possible.
3. Crafting Your Content
- Resize the editor screen if needed and start typing your content.
- You can paste existing documents in Word format or copy text from other sources, and the editor will preserve the formatting.
- For example, paste content and choose Keep Formatting to maintain the document's style.
- Add images by clicking Insert and selecting images from your files.
4. Handling PDF Documents
- Note that PDF documents often do not copy well due to their complexity, similar to pasting them into a Word document.
5. Editing Options
- Change fonts and use other standard text editor options to format your document.
6. Creating Links
-
To create a link to an existing document:
- Publish the file as a draft first, so it won't be visible to other users yet.
- Navigate to the document you want to link.
- Ensure you are on the Home screen, not the Admin screen, to use this option.
- Click on the arrow on the file tile and select Copy link.
-
Navigate back to your document, click Edit, and select the three dots to access more options.
-
Highlight the text where you want the link, click Link, and paste the copied link.
-
You can also create external links using the same method.
