To make a basic page go to content, and then add content, and then basic page in the admin toolbar at the top of the screen.

This will bring up the basic page edit form. This form will be similar for nearly all types of content that you add to the website. The fields will just differ as the functionality of different types of content. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk. In the case of a basic page, the only thing required is the title. So we can create our page by entering a title and clicking the save button.

The saved page is at a temporary address based on its database id, for instance if the website was cfaes.osu.edu the url of this page would be cfast.osu.edu/nod/537. Below the title should be two or three tabs, usually "view" and "edit" but also possibly "revisions". Clicking edit will take you back into the edit form. If we look at the edit form we can see near the top the same two tabs, view and edit. View goes back to the published version of the page however, this is not dynamic. If you click view and you have not saved your work you will lose any unsaved work. So, be careful and save your work as you put your page together. Once your page is published and on the menu you'll be able to navigate to it like any other user, and assuming you're logged in, the edit button will appear for you to click on and edit that page. However when you just create a page it is not yet available on the menu. If we click the home button after saving our page we need to find a way to come to that page later and continue working on it. For that we have the content browser, which you can access by clicking the word content in the admin bar at the top of the screen. The content browser window shows you a listing of all content on the website. To the left of each piece of content you will see a green or purple dot. This indicates that the page is published, meaning public, or unpublished, meaning a private draft. If the dot is green the item is public and if it's purple it indicates that the item is a draft. Items can be scheduled to to publish or unpublished and those items will be indicated with green or purple clocks respectively. The content browser allows you to filter by title, this does not have to be the complete title a fragment is fine, or you can filter by a number of other fields. Once you find the piece of content you're looking for there are two action icons over to the right. One is a green piece of paper with a pencil to edit the document, and one is a red trash can to delete it. Clicking the document title will take you to that document. Check boxes to the side allow you to select multiple documents, for shared operations such as publishing, unpublishing, or deleting. You can accomplish this by selecting the documents you wish to act on, and then selecting an action from the operations menu and, finally clicking the execute button.
