About the LNE Website

Note: For additional information please see the LNE User Guide

Notifications

• Is there an RSS function, or email notification, for this site? These are helpful as reminders to visit the site when new content is added.

Yes, you can set up email notifications for pages and/or discussions. To do that simply go to the page you want to 'follow' and click on 'More Tools'. Then select the option 'Watch this page'. Same with the discussion thread, simply find it and select 'Watch this thread'. You can also go to the 'Updates' tab and select the RSS feed. This will give you a feed of all the recent update and activity (including new comments, members, etc.)

Attachments

• I just added an attachment and it appears at the bottom of the page - how can I move that to the top of the page?
  

Every time you add an attachment, the file will always appear at the bottom of that page. However, you can write a short blurb about it on the body of the page directing people to the attachment. When adding content to the body of the page, you can select exactly where you want it to appear so you can control how high up you want it to be.

To edit the page, simply click the "Easy Edit" button and start typing your new content.

Editing Content

• Can I delete a version of a page?
• How can I view recent changes to a page?
• User roles and permission settings
• What happens when multiple users are editing the same page?
  

The site will give you three options:

1) Edit the new version and manually merge your changes into it (recommended)
If you choose #1 it will show you what the other user has saved and you can then manually merge your edits with theirs.

2) Do not save your changes and view the new version
If you all choose #2 then all the edits would be lost.

3) Save your changes and write over the new version
This option forces your edits to override whatever anyone else saved.

None of the options are ideal, so here is another alternative:
"I place an "In Use" disclaimer at the top of the page when I open it. Then immediately save the page. If I get the three options on save, then I select option 2 since I know someone else has the page open. It I do not, the saved version will alert all others that the page is being edited. If the options do not appear, then I reopen the page and make my edits. When done with editing, I remove the disclaimer and save. This tells everyone the page is available for editing."
