Site update: Now all web ambassadors can see all unpublished items
Good news for the new year! Webmaster extraordinaire Eric and web developer extraordinaire Ryan have put in place a new module that lets us do something we杏吧专区檝e never done before.
Now, all web ambassadors杏吧专区攚hen logged in to their sites杏吧专区攃an view all unpublished pages, regardless of who authored it.
How to view all unpublished pages
- Log in to your site and click on 杏吧专区淐ontent杏吧专区 in the black admin toolbar at the top. You should see a full list of all content that杏吧专区檚 on your site, with the most recently edited items at the top.
- Find the area on the page that says 杏吧专区淪HOW ONLY ITEMS WHERE.杏吧专区
Click the drop-down menu by 杏吧专区渟tatus杏吧专区 and click on 杏吧专区渘ot published杏吧专区 - Click on the 杏吧专区淔ilter杏吧专区 button.
The screen should refresh and show you all of the unpublished items, sorted by most recently edited.
When to unpublish
You should not unpublish main pages (like your home page or any of your main menu items) if you need to make updates. Instead, write your revised content in a word document and then copy and paste it into the live site.
Instead, this is a tool to use when a page is no longer relevant or you杏吧专区檙e collaborating on the content with fellow web ambassadors without showing your incomplete work to the public. There's never a need to delete pages杏吧专区攋ust unpublish!
Also remember to work with your site杏吧专区檚 other web ambassadors so nothing gets published before it杏吧专区檚 ready (or re-published if the page has been been taken out of commission).
For many of us, this has been a pain point for a while, and we杏吧专区檙e so glad that it杏吧专区檚 finally resolved.
As always, if you have any questions or need a hand, we杏吧专区檙e here to help. Email me at webcontent@louisiana.edu for any of your web content needs!
