Web Community Manager Apps make it easy to reuse and recycle content. Edit content dates or upload new and updated versions of existing files and you're done! This means you don't have to spend your time uploading new versions of documents or recreating announcements each year. 

Set display duration

For many apps, you can set start and end dates and times for app records. Edit the start date, end date, start time and end time for apps to display them on your page.

  • If no start and end date times are specified, once the app record is saved it displays on the website immediately and never expires.
  • If you set start and end dates and times, the app record displays on your site within the specified date and time ranges.
  • If you set only a start date and time, the app record displays on your site from the date and time specified forward.
  • If you set only an end date and time, the app record displays on your site immediately until the specified end date and time.
  • To remove the Display Duration for an app, remove the start and end date.
  • If a start date is set without specifying a start time, the time defaults to 12:00 AM.
  • If an end date is set without specifying a time, the time defaults to 11:59 PM.

Update files

There may be times when you need to update a file to which you’ve already linked within your site. This process saves you the work of recreating each link. The updated file must have the same name and extension as the existing file when updating.

  1. Navigate to Files & Folders.
  2. Select Upload Files.
  3. Browse for your file or drag and drop the file to upload.
  4. Select Upload.

The Upload Files window closes. The updated version of the file overwrites the old version. Since they have the same name and extension, all links to the old file will now point to the newly updated file.

Be certain the updated file has the same name and extension as the existing file in order to successfully update the file.

Get a link for a file

You can get a link to your file to use for linking the file in multiple locations. Using the file link allows you to house the file in one location for use in multiple areas without cluttering your pages.

  1. Navigate to Files & Folders.
  2. Select More.
  3. Copy either the Full Web Address or the Relative Web Address URL to use for the link. The Relative Web Address will automatically append the root domain for your website, so it is helpful to use if your site is not yet live.
  4. Select Close.
