Use Case: Update Existing Content -

Actor: Content Creator

After you have performed your site query to obtain a list of content you have created, you are returned a list from which you can view and browse all the content you have created in the CMF. Once you have identified which piece of content you wish to update, click on it's title from the list and navigate to it.

After selecting the piece of content you wish to update, you are taken to the view of the content. From the view, select Edit from the actions box. The Edit link will take you to the edit form for your particular piece of content you wish to edit. For this example, we will be using a document as our sample, but the following list gives a short description of the edit forms for the stock CMF content objects you may be editing:

• Body Textarea/File Upload edit form (Documents)
• Lead-in/Body edit form (News Item)
• File Upload edit form (Files, Images)
• Simple edit form (Link, Favorite, Event)

After you click the Edit link from the actions box, you will proceed to the document edit form. As when you created your document, this edit form gives your two possible options for editing your content. If you have made your changes to the content in an editor on your local machine, select the file upload functionality. Click the Browse button and navigate to the place you edited it on your local machine. Select the updated content and select Ok.

You can also choose to make your changes to the content in your web browser through the web by using the textarea form. To make your changes through the web, find the area(s) in your document which require editing in the textarea. Enter the changes you wish to make to the content and click the Change button.

Your changes will be saved, and a change notification will be displayed on the edit form confirming your changes have succeeded. If you wish to view your changes, click the View link from the actions box and view your content with the changes in place. You can repeat the above steps as necessary to update your content, each change happening live to what you will see on your CMF site.
