Editors will be able to access an Editor Admin bar which is typically located in the top main navigation, or nested under My Club.
Hover over the Admin bar for Editor Module tools such as: Articles, Calendar, Blast Email, Image Explorer, Document Manager, etc. Note: these options may vary depending on your club’s specifications for Editor Tools.

The Content Editor is denoted by a Click to Edit button. If you see a Click to Edit Button, this means that this is a content or image block that you can edit using our rich content editor. Simply click on the button to open the Editor.
You will find the Editor in various locations throughout the website, and it is the same Editor; which means you can add and edit different places of content in the same way. And, once you’ve mastered it, you’ll be able to use it throughout.

Document Upload & Content Editor (Click to Edit)
In order to add documents to any section containing a content editor, the document must first be uploaded using the Document Upload feature. Once the documents have been uploaded, open a click to edit to insert document links. To learn more about uploading and inserting documents, click here.
Image Explorer & Images (Editor, Slideshows, & Photo Albums)
...
To add images to pages or areas in which you have the Editor, open the Editor and use the insert image icon to add images to the content block. For detailed instructions on this, please visit this page.
Insert Image Icon in Editor
All slideshows and photo albums are tied to folder(s) within the Image Explorer, meaning you manage the images tied to slideshows and photo albums via the Image Explorer.
You can change which folder(s) is associated with a slideshow or album by opening the slideshow/album properties and clicking Edit Categories for this Gallery. This will allow you to select and deselect various folders within the Image Explorer.

Directory & Member/Staff Management
The Directory on your website isn’t just for Members to access, it is also an area where you can manage Members and Staff.
Since your accounting system is linked to the Directory, you will not need to add or delete members from the Directory; but you can manage their username and passwords here along with what Mailing Groups they belong to.
Staff accounts typically are not synced from the accounting system, so you will want to add staff members to the directory manually. This is also how you must add editors and admins of the website.

Blast Emails & Groups
Blast emails are a great way to send emails to all members and staff, select members and staff, and groups of members and staff. The website allows you to create Static and Dynamic Groups in order to email various groups of members/staff.
Static Groups are groups created manually and are typically used for Opt-In Groups or private groups like a Board of Directors group. Members can Opt-In to static groups from their profile to receive communications, like a Book Club.
