Editing content

Data in Drupal is stored as nodes. Each node has certain basic information, such as a title. More complicated data types will have more fields to edit.

The manage menu has options for listing and editing various types of content. You will see it when you are logged in as a manager.

The manage menu also has an option to list all content. It may be filtered to display content of a specific type.

Many nodes may be edited directly when displayed. Hold the mouse over the center of the content to edit, and a set of small icons will be displayed on the upper right, as in this example:

Hold the mouse over each icon, and a description of its purpose will be displayed. Of particular note are the edit and delete icons.

Textarea fields, used to contain large areas of text, may have an edit toolbar above them. Again, holding the mouse over an icon will reveal its purpose. To apply them, first use your mouse to select one or more words, then click on an icon to perform its action, such as bold or italic text.
