ND Theme CMS v4 — Editor Guide

Welcome. This wiki helps content editors and site admins manage pages, news, events, people, and widgets on an ND Theme CMS v4 site.

Important: saves are live

There is no draft or publish step. When you save a page, plugin, or Page Meta change, visitors see it immediately. Preview before you save when you need a safer look.

Prefer NDT widgets (Notre Dame Web Theme components) when adding content. Other Bootstrap-style frontend plugins may appear in the picker; use NDT widgets instead unless you have a specific reason not to.
