    • If you see a button that says "Submit for Review", this means you can't publish the page directly, but an editor or an administrator for the current site will get notified and be able to approve or reject your changes.
    • You will then be notified if your draft is rejected or approved.

  2. You should see "Edit Menu" under "Edit" in the Concert menu if you have access.
  3. Click on Edit‑>Edit Menu.
  4. Menus are shared by other pages in the site, so you will see a warning dialog. Click continue if you still need to edit the menu.
  5. You should now see a blank page with only the menu visible where you can edit the menu the same way you would a normal page.

Note: You can't save drafts of menus.

Securing Pages

  • Anything that has a URL with "/secure/" in it will force people to be logged in to be able to access the page or document
  • This also includes uploaded documents. Just because the document is linked from a secure page does not make the document secure
  • To do this for uploaded documents:
    1. Enter Concert's File Manager (Site‑>File Manager, or edit/create a link and use the browse icon to get into File Manager)
    2. Create a new folder (Click on icon that has a "plus" and a folder icon)
    3. Name that folder "secure"
    4. Move or create any documents that need to be protected inside the "secure" folder
    5. Make sure to update any other links that might be pointing to the old location of a document (See Audit Report for help on this)

Using Layouts

You can add columns to your page by inserting a layout.
Note: When using layouts, hitting the enter key may mess the containers up, so if you need a new line in a column, simply use shift+enter. (Undo is your friend if a layout gets messed up)

  1. Go to Insert‑>Insert layout
  2. You should see a dialog to insert a layout pop up
  3. Choose the type of layout you would like from the drop-down
  4. Once you have choosen the layout you want, just click Ok

To get out of a layout and add new elements below it (If it is the last item on your page)

  1. Go to the end of the last column
  2. Hit enter
    • This will duplicate the last column's container
  3. Hit enter again and it will pull the duplicate container out of the parent container
  4. You can now create a new paragraph block, or do anything else like you would normally do
