Copying an Existing Page

Instead of creating a page from scratch, you can copy a page from 1) one of your own guides or 2) another CUL guide. (NOTE: You can't copy one page from a different institution--instead, you would need to copy the entire guide first, then edit it.) 

• First, click the plus sign to the right of the existing tab(s).
• In the pop-up window, select "Reuse Existing Page."
• Guide: Select the guide from which you wish to copy a page. (Scroll down to see all available guides from which you can copy.) 
• Position: You can choose to add the page as a top-level page/tab, or as a sub-tab/sub-page. (For more on sub-tabs, see the "Adding Sub-Tabs" tab in this box.) 
• Draft Mode: If you're adding new content to a published guide, this will suppress only the new page/tab from view. However, remember to uncheck this option when you're ready to publish the new content!
• Copy: This gives you the option to link to the original (no edits) or to copy it (can edit the content). 
  • Link: You can't edit the content in the new page. It will change only when you make changes to the original page.
  • Copy: This page will initially copy all content from the original page. However, they will be independent from each other; changes in one page will not affect the other page. 
• Click "Save" to create the copied page. 

Reordering Tabs (Pages)

• To change the order of tabs/pages, click on "Pages" on the grey command bar beneath the existing tabs.
• On the drop-down under "Reorder / Move," select "Pages."
• Drag and drop the tab/page titles until they are in the correct order.
  • You can drop tabs between other tabs (for top-level tabs).
  • Alternately, you can drop tabs on other tabs (to make these sub-tabs).
• Click on "Save."

Sub-tabs are pages that appear in a drop-down menu from a main tab (signified by a small arrow). Sub-tabs are less readily visible to the user and should be used carefully. If they are used, it is best to include references and links to the sub-tabs from the main page under which they appear.

A sub-tab example in this guide is the "Create a Profile" page (sub-tab of "Start Here!").

Creating a Sub-Tab

• You can add new sub-tabs by clicking the plus sign to the right of the existing tab(s). 

• A pop-up window will appear. Select Create New Page.

• Enter a title for the page under "Page Name."
  • Keep titles short so that tabs don't take up a lot of space. TIP: Use & instead of and in titles.
  • Use title case (all words capitalized except for internal articles, prepositions, and conjunctions) in page names.
• Optional: Add a page description. (If added, the description will appear when a user puts the cursor on the tab for that page.)
• Position: Choose to add as a "sub-page of." 
  • Select the existing tab/page under which you want this sub-tab to appear. 
• Profile Box: choose which profile box to add in this page, or "nothing." In most cases, when adding a profile box, you will choose your own. 
• Draft Mode: If you're adding new content to a published guide, this will suppress only the new page/tab from view. However, remember to uncheck this option when you're ready to publish the new content!
• Click "Save" to create the new sub-tab.

Reordering Sub-tabs 

• Reordering sub-tabs is the same process as that in the previous section of this box, "Reordering Tabs."
• Simply drag and drop the sub-tab box on top of the page under which you wish it to appear.
