Ready For Approval

The Category Manager shows a list of the categories defined on your Web site. Categories are ordered by the section they belong to. A drop-down menu allows you to display the categories belonging to one specific section at a time.

You may filter the categories by the section they belong to.

See this Help Screen for specific help for News Feeds and the Contacts Category Manager.
Help Screen: News Feeds and Contacts Category Manager.

Click on the following icons after checking the box next to a specific category.

Publish and Unpublish: Check the checkbox next to all the categories that you would like to publish (display) or unpublish (not display) on your Web site. You can check multiple categories. Click the 'Publish' or 'Unpublish' icon.

Trash: Click the 'Trash' icon to delete the categories selected. An alert will appear in a pop-up window to confirm that would like to delete the selected categories. This action cannot be performed if the category contains Content Items. You will have to delete the Content Items first.

Michelle,

The revised text posted here for the Category Manager 1.0x has been added to the help site and the changelog has been updated.

I have also noticed that the text editor is having problems again (I really am not sure if the problems ever went away, but I did not notice them for a while) and I am having to go back into the HTML to edit my content. There are many breaks being placed where there should be paragraph tags also.

Charles
