You must have a collection role of owner or moderator to edit a collection. To edit content, enter edit mode.

You can click on the content to preview how it will appear in view mode. Click More, then Edit or return to the content grid and click Edit to start editing the content.

Use Edit to make changes to metadata like title, date, location, description, tags, cover image, audio notes, and connected milestones. Metadata is optional but provides important context that brings content to life.

Title

The title will be prominently displayed in view mode. Choose a title that is clear and relevant. Newly uploaded content will be added with the file name as the title, so make sure to clean up and update titles after uploading or importing content.

Date

Content with a date will be displayed on the Timeline. Dates do not need to be exact or fully filled out. If multiple contents are a part of the same event, considering using adding content to a milestone.

Location

Content with a location will be displayed on a map in Places. You can enter an address or the name of a building/business.

Description

The description will be displayed when viewing content. Use the formatting tools to format the text. Some bullet points or bolding can go a long way to make your text more readable and easier to understand.

Tags

Tags are used to categorize and describe the content. Type in your tags in the tag field and hit enter/return to add them. Filter by tags to make it easier to find and reuse content.

Add to Milestone

Add content to a milestone to group multiple pieces of content into an event. Enter a milestone name to filter through existing milestones or create a new milestone by typing in your desired milestone name and click Create Milestone. You can also add content to a milestone from milestone edit.

Get Link

Click Get Link to copy an edit link to the content. Users who do not have edit or view permissions will not be able to use the link.

Thumbnail Options

The cover image is an alternate image that represents the content and is displayed in the collection's view tabs. This can be especially useful for videos, audio, and documents. Click Add Thumbnail and follow the upload steps.

Edit Media

Replace or remove media. You can also rotate and crop images. For written content, select Edit Text.

Add Audio Note

Multiple audio notes can be added to any content, even to content that is audio media. Hearing someone’s voice can be more engaging and leave a longer-lasting impression than simply reading text. Click Add audio note to start recording or to upload an audio file. Once an audio note has processed you can edit the title or delete it in the content's edit mode.

Visibility

Check Visible to make content viewable in the content grid, milestones, and series. All content is visible in edit mode.

Downloadable

Check Downloadable to make content downloadable in content view and edit.

Delete

To delete content, enter edit mode and click edit on the content. Click Delete Item and confirm to delete content. This action cannot be undone.

Sort

To sort the custom ordering of content, enter edit mode. Under the Content tab, click Rearrange.

Click and drag to rearrange custom ordering and click Save. To set the default ordering of content, see Content Settings.

Move/Copy

To move or copy content to another collection, view the content in view mode or edit mode then click More then Move or Copy. Select the destination collection and click Move or Copy. To turn off move or copy content between collections, see Content Settings.
