Edit a web page

You can edit pages on any website you’ve connected to. When you browse to such a website, the Edit Page button is enabled.
To edit a page:
1. Browse to the page you want to edit.
Note: The web address of the site you are editing wont be the www.utas.edu.au adress as you will be doing modifications on a development server and not the actual live university site. For most sites the adress will be http://webdev.admin.utas.edu.au/contribute_dev/******area*****. An easier way is to go to the Contribute start page and click the link to your page.
