Editing pages overview A common task in Unity is to make changes to Html Articles (formerly known as Articles) on an existing page. This guide provides an overview of the various methods you can adopt to accomplish this task.

For most editors, the quickest method for page discovery and editing is described as the primary method you should adopt.

Other methods are also detailed for your convenience.

Logging into Unity Log into Unity 6 by typing in your websites URL (web address) followed by /unity

Enter your existing Unity3 credentials.



Editing Page content using Page Info button Once logged into Unity6, click on Main Site Preview (located in the bottom right under Quick Links), this will take you to the preview website.

You can see that since we are logged into the Unity console, we are now offered the option to edit directly from the preview site. Notice the extra buttons in the top left hand corner of the page - Page Info and Admin Home

Clicking Page Info on a page shows a list of elements which you can access directly for editing.



Click Edit on a Html Article element and you will be taken direct that element in Unity, then click Edit Article (1.) as shown below.

Complete your changes in the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor and click Continue > then Save/Submit (2.)

If Approvals on HTML Articles have been implemented on your Unity6 site you will now be asked to Approve Content and Notify a manager for their final approval to live.

Include a short summary of your changes to the article in the Comment (1.) then click into the Notification tab (2.)

In the Notification window select the User (ie: your manager) you wish to notify 1. and then click Save (2.)



You will be returned to the Preview Site where you will now be able to view your changes as they would appear on your website. You can make more changes to the Html Article if required and click Save.

Note. Whilst you can see how your changes will look on the page via the preview site, your changes will not be live on your website until they have been approved by an authorised approver and then deployed.

Deploy your site to publish your changes to the live website (refer to the how-to guide “Deploying Your Website - Unity6”).



Inserting a File into a HTML Article One very common task is for a user to insert a file into an existing HTML article. In previous versions of Unity you would have needed to load the file into the system prior to being able to insert it into your article. Now with Unity6 you can upload a file “on the fly” directly into the HTML article.

Click on the Add File button

Click on Browse



Click Upload New File

Give your new file a title and then Browse your own hard drive/shared drive to select the file you want to add, assign the Category/Sub-category and click Submit and your file will load into the system.

At the next screen your new file should be highlighted in blue, click Select



On the insert/edit link screen you can change the target for the file (usually leave this as the default Open new window) and click Insert

Your file should now display in the HTML article.



Page discovery methods in Unity6 To add or edit a content on a page, first find the page you want either through the Site Structure or Page List or Preview methods of accessing pages. These methods are detailed below.

a) Site Structure method From the Pages menu, select the Site Area your page is located in, then select Site Structure. Using the tree toggles, expand the hierarchy of the top level and subsequent menus to until you find your page > click on the Page and select Edit Page Content.

b) Page List method From the Pages menu, select the Site Area your page is located in, then select Page List. From the page list enter a word contained in the Page Title and hit enter to initiate your search. Once your page has been discovered > click Edit



c) Preview method From the Pages menu, select the Site Area your page is located in, then select Preview

or use the button from the Unity Welcome screen. Using the dynamic menu, browse to the page you want to edit, and click the Page Info button located at the top right of the screen (1.) then click Page Content (2.)

Once you are on the Page Content pane of your page you can add New or Existing items to your page. Refer to the Page Construction Guide or other Content Object specific guides for further information on how to add specific content to your page.
