Editing Checklist

Use this checklist when adding or changing site content.

#Before publishing

1. Confirm that the page type is correct. Most layout sections are Basic pages; News items are Blog Posts and Events are Event pages.
2. Give the page a clear name, headline and unique slug.
3. Add an excerpt where the component uses one. Excerpts may become a role, image description, card summary or button label depending on the layout.
4. Upload an appropriately cropped image where needed. Add only the image that the component should use as its first image attachment.
5. Add only documented page tags and check spelling, punctuation and hyphens carefully.
6. For a direct Subpage Layout module, enable Include in supporter nav and confirm its position in the parent page's Subnav pages list. Nested Logo Grid items are an exception: leave them all unchecked for automatic alphabetical order, or check every visible item for manual subnav order.
7. Preview the parent landing page on both a wide and narrow screen.
8. Check links, headings, image meaning and keyboard usability before publishing.

Safe editing rules

• Reorder modules from the parent page's Subnav pages screen. Their order there is their order on the public page.
• Unpublishing a module or removing it from supporter nav removes it from the assembled landing page.
• Do not delete component pages merely to hide them temporarily; unpublish them so they can be restored.
• Keep destination-only fields clean. Button and logo child-page content should contain the URL and no surrounding prose.
• Avoid changing special integration tags such as search_tag:LW-employer without developer support.
• Published supporter-nav component pages below a subpage_layout page are automatically excluded from search engines and internal search. Alphabetically sorted Logo Grid items are not in supporter nav, so add page_noindex to those nested pages. Do not add page_allow_index unless a page is meant to be visited by itself.

After publishing

NationBuilder can serve a cached copy briefly. Refresh the public page after a minute and, if necessary, use a private browser window before assuming a change failed.
