Customize your page

Add, edit and delete panes

Navigate to the page you wish to add a panel pane, and click on the customize this page button at the bottom of your browser. This will take you to a display of the current layout. It consists of regions (the rectangles with a dotted outline) arranged in multiple columns, regions are essentially columns. Inside the regions are panes of content, panes are essentially chunks of content.

From this screen, you have almost complete layout control over the page. You can add new content panes, edit or delete panes, and rearrange panes by dragging and dropping them into regions, read below for instructions.

Add a pane

1. Click the plus icon where you would like to add a pane

2. Select the type of content you would like to add either new or from existing content

3. Add the desired content then click save under the preview window

4. Click save on the bottom toolbar to make the changes permanent

Within the new content choices editors may select images, text, map, table, videos among others. Most of these content choices work similarly to the WYSIWYG editor with the exception of images. If adding an image please note that the image will expand and resize to the width of your column. This can be troublesome if a small photo is uploaded and then resized into a larger column causing pixelation. If you add an image within the text option, it will be the actual size of the upload.

Edit a pane

Click on the gear/edit icon to edit an existing pane.

Delete a pane
