Work with the home page
Your home page is a personalized landing page for all you common web content management tasks. It is designed to be a simpler and more personalized user interface than the more advanced library explorer.
If the administrator has enabled the home page, this will be the first thing we see when you access the authoring portlet. We should be able to perform most of the daily tasks using the home page, including creating content, reviewing drafts and approving items, without having to access the more advanced library explorer. We can access the library explorer by clicking Open the Library Explorer. To return to the home page from the library explorer, click Home in the library explorer navigation bar. If the navigation bar is disabled, return to the home page by closing the current form we are editing.
The Create Content view
This view displays a set of authoring templates we can quickly use to create new content. The authoring templates we see displayed in this section of the home page are either authoring templates selected to be displayed by the administrator, or authoring templates we have personally selected as favorites. We can select the favorite authoring templates by opening the library explorer and navigating to the list of authoring templates we have access to. We can then select the favorite authoring templates.
Open Views in the Library Explorer
This section displays any views we have opened in the library explorer during the current session. It also display a list of the favorite locations. When browsing the library explorer view, we can mark any open view as a favorite. These will be displayed on the home page the next time you access the authoring system.
Web Content Activity
This view displays recent activity by all the users of the authoring system and is used to keep track of any recent activity on the authoring system. Additionally, we can also view lists of the favorite items, items we have recently edited, the current draft items and any items that require the approval.
