Content Editor - Quick Reference

The content editor is a two panel editor. It is intended for pages that just contain text and images rather than those that are part of a web application.

Editor Panels

The two panels can be resized by dragging the separator between them.

The left hand panel gives an over view of the page being edited at the top, a list of pages to edit in the middle and a view of the image library at the bottom.

The right hand panel gives a view of the page content for editing. At the top is the title as shown on the browser tab and below are the sections of the page.

Adding Blocks

Above and below each page section are + buttons that will add content either above or below existing elements of content. There are also up and down buttons to move the content up and down the sections in the page.

On clicking + you are presented with a list of blocks that can be added to the page.

For simple formatted text and images, the WYSIWYG block allows you to enter text and type set it adding text styles, links and lists etc.

Images

To add an image into the WYSIWYG panel, find the image in the image library in the left hand pane or select to upload one. Drag the image into the WYSIWYG content block. Click on it to set any alternative text or its placement in the text.

A number of other block types are available that add either configurable page elements or page layouts.

Preview and Publish

To see how your page will look once published, click on Preview at the top of the left hand pane. This will save the page to a space for unpublished pages and make the page visible in another browser tab. Saving the page once the preview has been opened will automatically update the preview tab.

Once you are happy with your page, click Publish and the page will be published to the live area of your website.

New Pages

To create a new page select Create A New Page. In the popup window, enter the new pages title and optionally select a category. Select Create New Page and a new page will be added to the list and the editor for the page opened.

(

Publisher promotes any /... page hierarchy to production by copying it without the /Development prefix so work-in-progress stays isolated.

Every text-based attachment is rewritten so `"/"` links become live paths, and optional rules in `development-translation.sjs` can further transform each file.

Practice publishes generate release notes plus a deletions script preview without touching the live site; the real publish copies files and appends removal commands into `process-deletions.sjs` for manual execution.

Actions

Check for Page Differences – Compares timestamps and hashes between the /Development tree and its published counterpart so you can see what will change.
Reverse Publish – Copies the published page back into /Development to recover live edits or restart from a known-good state.
Publish Page (practice) – Runs the full translation/diff pipeline, writes detailed release notes, but skips copying so you can verify the impact.
Publish Page (for real) – Performs the same checks and then copies the files, applies path rewrites, generates release notes, and refreshes the published page.

Special files

development-translation.sjs – Optional script invoked per text file; receives the file contents as `data` and must return the transformed string.
publish-config.json – JSON blob for exclusions, e.g. `{"excludedFiles":"do-not-publish.me"}`; also expands the standard exclusion list.
do-not-release.txt – Presence blocks publishing and should describe why the page is locked.
process-deletions.sjs – Auto-generated script listing live files to delete after you verify them; run manually once you are satisfied.
release-notes.html.fragment – Captures the accordion-style log of each publish run for auditing.

Usage tips

Publish from the root /... page you want to release; sub pages are handled automatically.
Always inspect the practice-mode release notes before running the real publish so you catch unexpected deletions or TODO markers.
Keep the generated deletions script in source control (or review it) before executing so you have an audit trail of removed files.
