If you cannot edit a page - do these 3 steps in order Here is the workaround for the "edit" page Ektron bug. (it's also in the user manual in the Troubleshooting appendix.) 1. EDIT the properties of the page in the backend and Click SAVE (without making any changes), then click the "<" arrow to Cancel. When prompted, click Leave this page. 2. Go back to the browser window with the page and refresh the page. You should have "check-in" available in the file menu. Click on Check in. 3. Now edit should be available on the file menu of the page. Click on Edit.

If 'Houston' is displayed across the top of your new page If 'Houston' is displayed across the top of your new page instead of your section or division name, then a step was missed in creating the page (page 17 of the user manual). Of course, I know that because I've skipped that step myself multiple times... To fix the name a. Edit the properties of the page. b. Click on the "metadata" tab. c. Scroll down to "portal name". d. Delete Houston and put yours. It will display exactly as you type it. e. Publish the page.
