麻豆社

• Name and Username
• Department, Division, or College site
  
• Publisher or Author Rights - What's the difference?
  An Author and a Publisher can create and edit content. However, those who have Author rights cannot directly publish content without generating a Workflow. A Publisher must first review and approve the content generated by the Author before it can be published (go live). A Publisher can also bypass the 'Start Workflow' prompt and approve his/her own work.

MODERN INTERFACE:  a new look with larger fonts, a new color scheme, and a different layout

ADD CONTENT MENU:  the New menu has been replaced by the Add Content menu. To add new assets to your site, click the pink circle with a plus sign.

ICON COLORS:  icons for pages, blocks, files and links are now grayish black instead of blue and green; folder icons are still yellow.

ASSET NAME: the System Name field is now called Page Name (or File Name or Link Name). The name in this field also appears in the URL address.

UPDATED EDITOR: the WYSIWYG editor has a new look with formatting options located in different places.

PREVIEW FEATURE: This feature shows a live preview of each edit you make; it refreshes automatically each time you make a change in the edit screen.

• To resize the preview: Drag the divider between the preview and the edit screen.
• To hide the preview: Click Hide Edit Preview.
• To hide the edit screen: Click Preview Draft to view a full-page version of the preview.

(No audio):

IMAGE ALIGNMENT: align an image inline with your text by selecting align-right from the Class dropdown instead of using the Advanced tab within the Insert/Edit Image editor.

 

CHECK CONTENT & SUBMIT: use the new Check Content & Submit button to check for broken links and spelling before submitting an asset.

SUCCESS MESSAGES: notifications that an action was completed successfully now appear at the bottom of the screen instead of at the top.

 

TRASH: formerly named the Recycle Bin, Trash is now located in the Site Content Menu and contains deleted assets. Assets can still be restored for 30 days from the Trash.

Visual Identity Guide- A distinctive visual identity program is critical for 麻豆社 to maintain a clear, consistent image before its various constituencies. This guide is designed to assist everyone in proper use of the institution’s identity marks.
