How do I edit my department homepage in the CMS?

Your department home page is a special kind of page. It is made up of content from several different sections in the CMS. Some content is within the main top level section. Other content is in some of the sections with grey folder icons that you can see in the site structure, such as ‘column 1’, ‘column 2’, ‘column 3’, ‘top story’, ‘news area’ and ‘departmental colours’.

If you want to make changes to your department home page you will need to be careful and make sure that you understand which content you need to edit to make the changes you need. Please read Information Sheet 9 – Editing Departmental Top Pages before attempting to edit your home page.

Your department may be using the News System. If it is you may have a special column on the right of your home page which is automatically filled with the latest news items. Please read Information Sheet 10 - Working with Departmental News for more information on how the news system works and how to add a news article.
