This page guides you on how to move content to another web page or to create a copy (duplicate) of a piece of content as well as how to previewe or restore older versions of content. There are also separate instructions on Reordering content on your pages if you want to change the order that content appears on your pages.

Instructions

1. From the T4 homepage (click the terminalfour logo in the top left of the screen to show the site structure view) you can navigate to the section where you want to modify your content. Content list with the Duplicate content option highlighted

2. Click on the blue Actions button next to the appropriate section. Select 'Edit content' from the menu.

3. The section will open and you can now see the content types that have already been added. Open the menu for the appropriate content type by hovering the cursor over the yellow arrow beside it. You have a number of option to choose from:

  • Edit - Make changes to the content.
  • Preview - Open the preview site on the page where this content type appears.
  • Mirror - Create a linked copy of this piece of content and place it within a section in your site structure. The two copies will be linked so that if one is updated, the other will also be updated. This is used if information needs to feature on more than one page.
  • Duplicate - Create a copy of this piece of content and place it within a section in your site structure. The two versions will be separate.
  • Move - Move this piece of content to a new location within your site structure (see instructions below)
  • History - View the previous versions of this piece of content. See the below section on 'How to view old versions of content'.
  • Delete - Delete this piece of content. See the section on hiding and deleting.

If you choose to mirror, duplicate or move the piece of content, the next step is always the same - you will be presented with a window like the one below showing the site structure. From this window, you should click the section where you want to mirror/duplicate/move the content. If you choose the same section, you will need to update the name of the content type to avoid a conflict.

Please note this does not work for items for widget content such as accordions, slideshows and flexible content. To view that content you will need to make that version current and then preview the page (see below).
  4. To make a version of the content current, click on the blue Actions button and select Make current. This will then make that a new version of the content based on the version you selected, which can then be edited as normal via the Content tab.
