Basic Text Edits

Overview for Editing Text

To make text edits, you'll use the OU Campus WYSIWYG Editor (What You See Is What You Get) — similar to a word processor. Watch the OmniUpdate video on Editing Content with JustEdit and see steps below for Foothill OU Campus specifics.

Steps to Edit Foothill OU Pages

Use DirectEdit to enter the Page Edit View

See Logging In to OU Campus

Select a Content Region to Edit

Review and SELECT one of green buttons on Page Edit View.
- Main Content
- Promo Top
- Promo Bottom
If the content you want to edit is not editable in Promo Top, such as the Questions circle, SELECT the Content Tab, then _props.pcf
If you want to edit the Left nav menu, SELECT the Content Tab, then nav.inc.

Make Your Edits with the WYSIWYG Editor

Once inside the WYSIWYG Editor, most of the text on your page will become editable. (Some content is set up as an Asset, which is not editable unless you have permission.)

You can change, delete and add words on in the editable regions as needed.

If you are changing or adding text to your pages, be sure to review the Writing Style Guide (coming soon) to make sure you are following the grammar and usage guidelines of the college. In general, Foothill follows the AP Style Guide when writing for the Web.

Use the following resources to learn more about working inside of the WYSIWYG Editor and for help with editing your page(s).
