Introduction to Ektron CMS400.NET


The Floating Toolbar

When a content block's border is visible, you can right click the mouse to display a floating toolbar (an example is in the green box below).

Toolbar buttons let you act on the displayed content and view important information about it. The toolbar buttons change depending on the content block's status or your permissions for the content block. For example, one toolbar button lets you edit the content block, while another lets you view previous versions of it.

If granted permission by your administrator, you can create new content blocks, and edit or delete existing ones. Most of your work with Ektron CMS400.NET involves working with content blocks.

The following table describes each button that may appear.

Note

Your administrator can set up your system to have borders always appear on a page. In that case, the toolbar always appears in the content block -- you don't need to click the mouse to make it appear. For information on the classic user interface, see The Administrators Manual > "Introduction to Ektron CMS400.NET" > "Getting Started" > "Recognizing Content Blocks" > "The Floating Toolbar" > "Returning to the Classic User Interface"
