Creating Content

Users with the Content Editor role can create and publish content directly from the administration interface. This page walks through the available content types and how to create each one.

To create new content, use the Create menu in the top administration toolbar. Clicking it reveals links to every content type you have permission to add.

The Knowledge Base Page form has two tabs:

  • CONTENT — all the fields described above
  • ACCESS — control which groups (organizational units) can view this page. By default, knowledge base pages may be visible to all authenticated users, but editors can restrict access to specific groups

After saving a Knowledge Base Page, you can organize it within the book structure:

  1. Edit the page and look for the Book outline section.
  2. Choose a parent page to nest it under, or select <top-level> to make it a root-level section.
  3. The page will then appear in the sidebar navigation of the Knowledge Base.

Navigate to Create > Basic page. The form is similar to the Knowledge Base Page with a title and rich-text body. Basic pages are used for static, standalone content like department overviews, company policies, or informational landing pages.

Basic pages do not appear in the book hierarchy — they exist as independent pages accessible via their URL or linked from menus and other content.

All content types use a CKEditor-powered rich-text editor with a full toolbar. Common formatting options include:

  • Text formatting — Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, Subscript
  • Structure — Headings (Paragraph, Heading 1–6), Block quotes, Horizontal lines
  • Lists — Bulleted and Numbered lists
  • Links — Insert links to internal pages or external URLs
  • Media — Insert images (upload, URL, or media library), embed iframes
  • Tables — Create and edit tables
  • Code — Insert inline code or switch to Source view for raw HTML
  • AI Assistant — Use the built-in AI writing assistant for drafting and editing help

Below the editor you will find a Text format dropdown. In most cases, keep the default Full HTML for the widest formatting options. Other options like Basic HTML or Restricted HTML limit which HTML tags are allowed.

Once you save content:

  • It is immediately published and visible to users with appropriate access.
  • A URL alias is auto-generated from the title (e.g. a news article titled “Q1 Results” becomes /news/q1-results).
  • The content appears in relevant listing pages (news feed, events calendar, knowledge base sidebar).
  • Search indexes are updated so the content becomes discoverable via the site-wide search.
