Articles are the pages of your website, and most of the work of keeping a site fresh is editing the pages you already have. This guide covers opening a page in the editor, changing the text and formatting it well.
Editing an article
Read this before you save
If the article is already published, your changes go live on the website the moment you save, so preview before you commit.
There’s no version history. Saving replaces the previous version and there’s no way back to it, so before a big rework of a page that matters, make a copy first.
Hubb doesn’t stop two people editing the same article at the same time, and it won’t warn either of them. Whoever saves last overwrites the other’s work, quietly. If more than one person looks after a page, agree who’s editing it before you start.
-
Log in to your web office.
-
In the group structure on the left, select the group that holds the page you want to change.
-
Open the Documents tab and click the article’s title to open it in the editor.
-
Make your changes in the contents view. Typing works just as it does in a word processor.
-
Bringing text in from somewhere else? Use ‘Paste as Plain Text’ on the toolbar. It strips away the old formatting so your page matches the rest of your site.
-
Format with the toolbar: heading styles, bold, italic and underline cover most needs.
-
Click ‘Preview’ at the top right to check the page before committing.
-
Click ‘Save’. The button shows orange while there are unsaved changes and turns green once your work is safely saved.
Good to know
-
Sticking to the built-in heading styles rather than hand-picking fonts and colours keeps every page consistent, and makes your site easier to restyle later.
-
Right-clicking on something in the contents view, such as an image, brings up options for that item.
-
Not ready for people to see a change yet? Take the article off the site while you work on it, and publish it again when you’re happy.
Still stuck? We’re real people.
