Edit Zone Options

Learn about [Edit] options for your Zone

Each Zone can be edited by its Zone manager, any Helium administrator, or users listed as contributing editors.

If you are authorized to edit a Zone (discussed later in THIS Zone),  you will see a small “[edit]” command near the top left of the page.  Select this to edit the Zone.

Preview Page

Shows what it would look like to visitors - front end view. Clicking “Preview Page” also displays a second navigation tier. You have options to return to the edit mode, edit permissions (add editors to your Zone), look at older versions, view statistics and click overlays.

Upload Thumbnail

Think of it like a default picture on Facebook, but for your Zone. Give your Zone a thumbnail in order to get it on the Homepage as one of the Featured Zones, Most Popular, or Recently Created.

"Request to Release Lock" Command

If the Zone is already being worked on by another editor, you cannot immediately edit the page. Instead you should see this option: “Request to release Lock.” Use this sparingly because you might be interrupting someone else’s edits.

Save Version

If you are making changes to a Zone, but are not ready for it to go live (be published), choose “Save Version” instead of "Publish." You will then have a version of your Zone saved that you can continue working on later.

Show Versions

Managers and editors can look through previous versions of the page. An example is every time I “publish” my Zone, the new changes I make are saved and are used, but when I look at the previous versions it is like searching through former drafts/versions that were published previously.
