Page Comparison

There are two modes of Page creation in ZeusZuse: the HTML Classic Editor provides a more traditional WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor, while Building Blocks allow Zuse Create allows for a more visual, modular approach to page development.

The HTML Classic Editor is available to all site administrators. The Building Block Zuse Create view is available to Editors. Both views are also used in other areas of ZeusZuse.

2. Edit the Page's Permalink to define a user-friendly web address for the Page. Ensure the name is all lowercase, with no spaces. If whitespace is requried, use a hyphen (-) or underscore (_).
3. If you are working on the page with someone else, editorial notifications for the page update may be appropriate. At the bottom of the page, look for Notifications. Specify users, or groups who should be notified when the page is updated, or an editorial comment is added.
   
   1. Example 1: To notify a Site Administrator that a page has been modified, look under the Users heading and either select the checkbox to the right of each user, or enter the first few letters of a username into the 'Search...' box. You will only be able to add users who are editors or authors of the site.
   2. Example 2: To send a notification to all Editors in a Community Site, under the User Groups heading, select the checkbox to the right of each kind of Site Administrator, either Authors or Editors.
4. Select Save at the top of the page to save all changes to the Page, and send any notifications.

Once the Page has been saved, a message will appear indicating a successful save. Select View Page from the top menu bar to view the current version of the page.
