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:

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.

In this chapter

New

Create a new content item via the New Content dialog — either by picking a content type or by uploading a file.

Edit

Open one or more selected items in the Content Editor.

Duplicate

Make a copy of the selected content (optionally including its children).

Move

Relocate content to a different parent in the tree, preserving children and permissions.

Sort

Configure how child items of the selected content are ordered in the Navigator and on rendered pages.

Preview

Open the rendered page for a site or page content in a new browser tab.

Publishing actions (Publish, Unpublish, Mark as ready, Request publishing) live with the state machine they operate on — see Workflow. Archiving (Archive and permanent Delete) is documented on the Archive page. Issue-creation entry points (Create task) are documented under Issues.
