EOFY Hints & Tips plus our WYSIWYG update
Making Editing easier: WYSIWYG changes
Our goal over the next year is to make the member management software system easier to use for all staff and to ensure it meets Google's mobile responsive requirements. One of the first changes we are implementing is a reduced set of WYSIWYG buttons when creating and editing pages.
We've reviewed all sites to determine who was using which buttons and removed those that are rarely or never used. We have also looked at which WYSIWYG features are likely to create mobile issues for your system.
This has left you with a succinct set of buttons that should make creating pages more simple for you and your team. If you have a specific button that we've overlooked - please let your ME product specialist know.
Expect to see these changes with your membership software when you login before the end of July.
Highlight your text and add either Bold, Italic, or Underline for better presentation
Align your text left, centre or right ( only for text not images)
Create a list out of items by number or dot points
Insert a table or image
Link to a website or anchor, remove link and create an anchor to link to
spoiler, insert horizontal line, Add a quote style to your text or insert a symbol
Use the first style button for choosing H1, H2, H3 etc use the 2nd style button for additional styles to tables or aligning images left or right. Click on the table or image to see what's available in your site.
Undo and redo changes.
