Admin Bar
The blue Admin Bar appears at the top of your website after you log in and will remain there while you are logged in. If you are on an editable site page, the blue Admin Bar across the top of your website offers an Edit and Create link.
Edit will open the page editor interface and allow you to add, edit, or delete content.
Create will allow you to create a brand new child page to the one you start from.
The bright blue Admin Bar includes a white Help icon link for help and support options. The last item is a drop-down for your profile options.
Admin Menu
The Admin Menu helps you to manage the content on your website. It is always available when you are logged in.
The Admin Menu toggle icon expands or shrinks the Menu to show or hide the labels for each section and icon.
Menu
Dashboard—The website dashboard will give you a quick and simple summary of your website statistics.
Pages—Pages is a list of all the pages on your website, whether published or unpublished. Page titles link to the public view of that page. The Edit button takes you directly into edit mode on the page.
Blog—The Blog is a list of posts ordered by date rather than by topic hierarchy.
Collections
Collections are groups of similar content that can be updated together or inserted as blocks on a page of your website.
Events—All events added will be displayed publicly on a Calendar page type or calendar content block.
List—Calendar events can be added and edited in the List area. Click the blue Add Event to add a new event.
Settings—General allows you to show sunset times, Categories allows you to set up or remove categories, and External allows you to import external calendars from Google or Microsoft.
Forms—Forms allow you to create new forms and manage existing forms. It also allows you to manage the responses that have been submitted.
Galleries—The Galleries collection allows you to create and manage various photo galleries that can be used throughout your website. You can drag and drop photos from your computer or use the Upload Image icon to add new images. You can also add captions and reorder images.
Media—The media collection will hold and syndicate media content as a series (like a sermon series) or a stand-alone program (like a Christmas program). You can upload media to your website or link to media already on another media service. You can add supporting files for each media item, such as PowerPoint, PDFs, and more.
Store—An online store with a Snipcart plugin can be found in "Settings" and "Integrations."
System
The System section of the Admin Menu contains settings that affect the website's functionality and appearance.
Themes—Themes provide several beautiful designs you can apply to your website. You can modify theme colors, Images, and more in the theme customizer.
Users—The Users area allows you to add new users and manage existing ones. There are four levels of users.
- Administrator—the Administrator has full access to the site and no restrictions on content or design. Changes to the site are immediately displayed. The Admin level can edit content, add users, set page access, and add, edit, or delete users.
- Contributor—Contributors can be given access to and control over specified content. When they publish their changes on a page, they become public immediately.
- Viewer—Viewers can access specified content but cannot edit that content.
- Correspondent—Correspondents are hidden user accounts that store biographical information, but the user cannot sign in. These accounts can help display information about visiting pastors, specifically when adding their sermons (audio or video) to the media collection or adding a person as an "Email Notification" recipient of submitted website forms.
Settings—This area will give you access to the settings that affect the entire website (every page) and the settings of the various collections.
