General guidelines
Since PDX.edu sites are public-facing and represent PSU as a whole, additional guidelines must be followed when working on PDX.edu sites. These include, but are not limited to:
Every site is required to have one registered site owner as the primary point of contact for the site.
Sites must be actively managed and updated on a regular basis, at minimum every couple of months.
All content on each site must follow applicable PSU policies, including PSU’s Digital Accessibility, Digital Privacy, and Copyright policies.
Sites must follow brand identity guidelines, as outlined by University Communications.
Sites are not intended for internal department content or file storage. Alternative resources, such as Google Sites, Google Drives, and other available resources should be used for those purposes.
External vendors may not perform work on PDX.edu sites without vetting and approval from the Site Dev Team. Contact the Site Dev Team prior to starting any project that involves changes to PDX.edu beyond that which an Editor, Content Manager, or Site Owner can perform.
We reserve the right to rename, disable, delete, or modify the settings of PDX.edu sites that do not follow these guidelines. Additionally, code access to the platform is restricted to better support these guidelines.
Login & access
Login Log in to your site using these instructions; check the Overview for instructions on requesting site access.

Provided you have editing permissions , when logged into your site you’ll notice an admin menu at the top of the page. Feel free to explore the admin menu to determine the function of each area, however, there are a few tips to note:

Use these instructions to practice making a draft (unpublished) page on your site which you will then delete.
Login Log in to your site.
Using the admin menu, go to “Content ￫ Add Content ￫ Landing Page”.
Enter “Test Page” into the “Title” field.
All pages are required to have a title.
In the “Paragraph Type” dropdown, choose “H1 Header: Page Title” then select “Add Paragraph”.
All pages are required to have one H1 Header paragraph block.
A paragraph block is a section of the page; landing pages are built using multiple paragraph blocks.
Choose “Draft” in the “Save as” dropdown, then select “Save”.
Selecting “Published” will make the page publicly visible.
If you accidentally publish the page, select “Archived” to remove it from public view.
Changing a published page to “Draft” leaves the published version publicly accessible while a second draft version is edited. When the draft is ready, selecting “Published” replaces the previously published version with the new one.
Select “Edit” to continue modifying the page.
Add more page elements using the “Paragraph Type” dropdown.
Use the Paragraph Blocks by Type documentation to view other paragraph block types and what they look like.
Reorder paragraph blocks using the crosshairs to the left of each paragraph block.
View new changes by selecting “Save” or “Preview”.
If you get an error message, review the message to determine and fix the cause. Some paragraph blocks have required elements that might be missing.
When done, select “Delete” near the top of the page to delete the page.
