What can and can't I edit on my uConnect platform?

In general, most content on Community pages can be edited by admin users! On Communities, from under the Manage>Communities section of your dashboard, you'll be able to add a description into a Community page, in addition to a header image.

A good way to remember what you can and cannot edit is that we typically help setting up and editing the structure, or the "skeleton," or your platform and its pages (such as menus, widgets, buttons, branding colors, etc.), versus you have control of filling your platform with content, or the "meat" of your platform, such as publishing blogs, jobs, events, resources, etc.

Using your Publish tab in the backend, you'll also be able to tag new content, such as blogs, jobs, events, etc. onto any given Community of your choice to have it display on the front end where you've identified.

The items most commonly requested that a member of the uConnect team will just need to assist you in editing are menu and widget changes, along with branding and technical configurations.

You need to reach out to us by submitting a new support request to update your platform's branding colors, logos, site title/heading. Typically, anything in the header or footer area (including your Privacy Policy and Terms of Service Links and social media logos) of your platform is something only we can edit:

Header area example:

Footer area example:

For these technical configurations, you need to reach out to us to update these, for example, if you want to update your URL or enable SSO, by submitting a new support request. These include updating your site URL, changing the from-email (what email you are sending uConnect emails from), SSO, and SIS (student information sync) configurations.

You now have the ability to add and edit menus in your uConnect platform! These menus include:

However if you have created a new menu and need to take it live, you will still need to reach out to our team so we can activate a menu widget for you by submitting a widget request (see below).

Learn more about how you edit menus here!

Lastly, a widget change, or a change to a section that works to dynamically feed in a specific content type, needs to be made by the uConnect team. Learn all about widgets here!

For example, in the below screenshot you'll see a Community page with three widgets or sections: one for videos, another for employers, and the last for experiences. If you ever want to edit the order the sections appear in, update the title of the sections (i.e. change 'featured videos' to 'videos'), or add/remove a new section of content, a uConnect support member can make any changes for you.
