Creating new Pages


For creating new pages there are different kinds of templates in the Admin Central section. In order to create pages right-click on the respective Section (website -> versionEins -> Conferences -> HQ3) and select "New Page". For HQ3 the templates "(Sub-)Section" and "Article" are important. Doubleclick and select to change. It is also possible to delete and move the pages. The status (activate/deactivate) determines whether the page can be viewed from outside Magnolia.
Creating Openers/Teasers

If a section is created, previews of the containing articles (pages) can be shown. This is helpful for orientation. They show if wanted the the picture and the text in the header.
