Site Actions Gear

​​​After you have logged into your site, you will see a blue and a pale green bar added to the top of the page. These bars are referred to as "the Ribbon".

The Ribbon holds all of the controls and items you will need to make updates to your website.

The blue bar will show information such as

• Your username in the top right corner after your log​in
• If a page that you are viewing has been checked out to you or another editor
• The Site Actions gear button , which is used for a large variety of editing tasks

You will use the Site Actions gear frequently when making updates to your site.
Let's review the actions available.

Site Actions Gear Options

Show Ribbon (or Hide Ribbon)

This will show or hide the tabs in the green bar of the Ribbon. When the Ribbon is shown, you will see the Browse, Page, and Publish tabs. These tabs are critical to the editing process, so the Ribbon should remain shown.

Shared with…

Do not use this action - This option controls permissions for the page you are viewing. Permissions on who can see or edit a page are controlled via easily managed groups.
