Dashboard Overview

Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard is the first page you’ll see in the Sitefinity CMS. It contains links to the knowledgebase and analytics, recent blog posts, recent events, and a listing of pages and other content you recently worked on or uploaded under “My content.” You can quickly sort content items and pages by their status (published, locked, draft), or see all of them.


Dashboard Navigation

The main menu across the top of the Dashboard area gives you access to the Sitefinity CMS features and functions you’ll need in the backend.





Pages

Pages represent the canvas on which you build and structure your website. In addition, pages contain the administrative and content authoring tools you’ll use to manage your website and organize its structure and appearance.

The structure and functionality of the page are created by adding widgets.


Content

This is where you create news articles, blog posts and events. You can also upload different types of media and documents, as well as create forms, edit your chapter headlines and manage advertising.
