Permission Required?

Editing content and project files is an activity available to users with the Author status. By default, users with Author status have the following permissions set:

  • If this is deselected, then viewing files in a read-only mode is allowed. On the left side of the page, the Files vertical three-dot menu is not available.

  • If this is deselected, the XHTML in the Code view is read-only.

    Editing code is regarded as a capability for an advanced user. If not done properly, the code can become malformed quickly. Administrators can prevent users from editing the code by deselecting the Edit Code permission.

For more information about permissions, see Setting User Permissions or Setting Team Permissions.

How to Edit a Condition

  1. Open a project, and select the Files tab at the top.

  2. From the left side of the page, with All Files showing, navigate to and select a condition file.

    Tip Click the All Files drop-down, and select Condition Tag Sets. This filters only the condition files to display in the files panel.

  3. In the Conditions Editor, click Edit.

    Tip From the left side of the page, you can right-click to select and open a condition tag set directly in editing mode. From this menu, you can also rename, delete, or view raw (i.e., opens the file code in a browser). See Renaming Condition Tag Sets, and Deleting Condition Tag Sets.

  4. From a condition row, select the check box, and from the local toolbar click . (Editing is only enabled if you select a single condition.)

    Note Alternatively, from a condition row you can click and select Edit, or you can right-click the condition row and select Edit.

  5. In the Edit Condition Tag dialog, you can change the Name, select a Color, and (optionally) enter a Comment.

    Example One of your branding colors is emerald green, and you want to change the color that represents the condition in the editor to that green. In the Edit Condition Tag dialog, you can enter the hex code in the Color field (e.g., #50C878). Or, click the color circle for the color picker where you can enter the hex number or select another color.

  6. Click Save. The Conditions Editor updates with the edited information for the tag.

  7. (Optional) You can further edit a condition by removing it from a condition tag set. From a condition row, select the check box, and from the local toolbar click .

    Note Alternatively, from a condition row you can click and select Delete, or you can right-click the condition row and select Delete.

  8. Click Commit. (Or click Cancel, to back out of the process.)

  9. In the Create New Commit dialog, enter a Commit Message.

  10. Click Commit.

What’s Noteworthy?

Note Keep the following in mind when editing conditions.

  • For a condition row, you can select to edit or delete a tag.

  • In the Edit Content tab, you can sort the order of the Name column in three ways: ascending, descending, and not set (items order in file).

  • Selection of conditions determines the state of the items in the local toolbar. For example, an empty selection (no boxes selected) only enables the add button. A single selection enables all buttons. A multi-selection enables the add and remove buttons.

Note From the top of the interface, you can select Edit Code to add, edit, or remove items in the XML code directly. The editor only displays properties that it can edit. It is recommended that only more advanced authors use this editing mode.
