Actions
Contents
Actions are the verbs editors use day-to-day on content — creating, editing, moving, sorting, and so on. They are available from three consistent places:
-
The toolbar at the top of the Content Navigator and the Content Editor.
-
The context menu that appears when right-clicking an item in the Navigator.
-
Keyboard shortcuts — see the Keyboard shortcuts reference for the full list.
Whether a given action is shown, enabled, or disabled depends on two things: the selection (what content is currently selected) and the user’s permissions on that content.
