FreeCMS Content Editing FAQs

There are 2 steps that must be performed for you to edit content on a web page. The first step is to specify that the web page is editable. This can be done adding Web Pages to your Website. The second step is to edit the content. This can be done by viewing the Web Pages of your Website and then clicking on the Web Page you want to edit to update its content.

To edit content for a web page, an Editor will either log into FreeCMS.com or a special URL (see the Branding Add On). Once they log in they will be presented with a list of Websites and Web Pages for which they have permissions to edit content.

In the 'Settings' for a Website, you are given the opportunity to specify a default image upload directory. These values are the default for the website, although you can override the default for individual pages. If no directory is specified, uploaded images will be placed at the root of the website.

In the 'Options' for a Website, you are given the opportunity to specify that you would like to receive email notifications when an update is made to a web page.

Every time a Web Page is changed by an Editor or Designer through FreeCMS, that change is tracked. The record of the change includes information about who made the change, when the change was made, and what was changed.

You can view a list of changes from the dashboard.
