Finding pages
| Note |
|---|
Make sure someone else hasn’t already published the same content. Having pages with duplicate content damages the page’s ranking in search engines. |
Click on the Content menu item.
To find specific pages, you can:
Search page titles
Filter by content type
Filter for your own name in “Authored by”

How to edit
Go to the page you want to edit
Select the “Edit” tab
If there is already a saved draft, there will be a “Latest version” tab next to “Edit.” Opening up the “Edit” tab will edit the latest version.
Your editing experience will depend on the page's content type. Sometimes you’ll need to open accordions to get to a text field.
If you don’t change anything on the page, it’s best to use the “Unlock” button to exit the screen, so another SF.gov user can edit it.

This helps when looking back and previous changes.

If someone else has “locked” the page, check with them to make sure it’s okay to edit it. They may lose their work.

Draft: Saves the page if you want to publish later. The draft is only visible to logged in users.
Ready for review: Not used in current workflow. We’re currently building in permissions where this will be relevant for some users.
Published: Changes will be visible to the public right away.
Archived: Page will be unpublished, and only visible to logged in users. See more about Archiving (and unarchiving) pages
Preview: Not used in current workflow. We’re currently building a public preview linking system. Preview page (sharing)
Delete: Page removed from SF.gov right away. You will not be able to get it back. (There will be a warning screen first.)
Unlock: Leave the editing screen without saving a draft. Helpful to keep the revision logs clean, so we can easily find changed versions to revert to, if needed.
