Navigation, Globals, and Assets

Navigation, globals, and assets affect more than one page. Make these changes carefully and preview affected pages before publishing.

Section titled “Navigation”

Navigation controls menus and link trees.

  1. Open Navigation.
  2. Choose the navigation tree you need to edit.
  3. Select the correct site.
  4. Add, remove, rename, or reorder links.
  5. Save and preview pages that use the menu.

Use existing entries for internal links when possible. Use full URLs only for external websites.

Globals

Section titled “Globals”

Globals are shared content areas. This site has globals for header, footer, and legal links.

  1. Open Globals.
  2. Choose the set you need to edit.
  3. Select the correct site.
  4. Update the shared field.
  5. Save and preview a page where the global appears.

Because globals are shared, a small change can appear on many pages.

Assets

Section titled “Assets”

Assets are uploaded files and images.

Upload an Asset

Section titled “Upload an Asset”
  1. Open Assets or use an asset picker inside an entry.
  2. Choose the correct folder.
  3. Upload the file.
  4. Add useful alt text or metadata when the field asks for it.

Replace an Asset

Section titled “Replace an Asset”

Replace a file when the public content should keep using the same asset reference. Upload a new file when the old file should remain available.

Delete an Asset

Section titled “Delete an Asset”

Before deleting, check whether the file is still used by pages, posts, publications, media kits, or globals. Deleting a used asset can leave missing images or broken downloads.

Asset Naming

Section titled “Asset Naming”

Use descriptive filenames with lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Avoid spaces, version clutter, and private notes in filenames.
