What would you like to EDIT on your Cascade site?

What would you like to EDIT on your Cascade site?

  1. Select the page that you would like to edit
  2. The page is now in View mode. 
  3. Click on the Edit tab to begin editing.
  4. Once you have completed editing, click the ellipsis and then click Submit.

If you make a change to an asset (e.g. a page) and are not happy with the changes, Cascade offers version control.  This allows you to restore a previous version of the asset.

Viewing Versions

To view asset versions, click the ellipsis then More > Versions while viewing the asset. The details of the current version of the asset will appear at the top of the window. Past versions will be listed below with the following details:

  • Name - The version number (automatically generated) and asset link for that version. Hover over the name to view the asset path.
  • Last Modified - The time that this version was last modified and the user who last edited the asset. Hover over the time to get the exact date and time.
  • Comments (for Site Content assets) - Any comments relevant to a particular version. Some version comments will be automatically generated.

To view a previous version of an asset, click the asset link for that version in the Name column to open it in the main content area. From this view you can click More to access additional actions such as restore, delete, view an older or newer version, and view the current version.

Restoring a Version

To restore a version, select it from the versions list and click the Restore this version icon at the top of the list.

When previewing the version you wish to restore, click More > Restore this version.

Tip: Restoring a version does not wipe out the current version for an asset. The current version becomes versioned as well, allowing you to effectively "undo" the restoration.

To re-order your navigation:

  1. Click on your main site folder or sub-folder you need to reorder. Keeping your mouse on the folder name, hover your mouse to the right over to the arrow, then choose View folder.
  2. The information displayed in the Name column will often be in alphabetical order.  The Order column tells you which order your folders and pages are currently in. 
  3. Click on Order.  The column will reorder in numerical order.  
  4. Click on one of the sub-folder or pages in the folder.  A menu will appear. Use the arrows in the menu to change the order.  Lower ordered items will appear before higher ordered items in both the top and side navigation.  

To create a reference link:

  1. Click on the page you want to reference, then click on More and choose Reference from the drop down list.
  2. Give the reference page a meaningful Title
  3. Browse to for the Placement Folder for that you want the link to appear.
  4. Click Submit.
  5. You will now see the asset you wanted to link TO is showing within the folder where you wanted to link FROM and, as a result, is showing as a navigation item within that folder.

Note: the information in the reference will be a direct copy of the page and can only be edited by editing the original page.

Deleting Tip #1: A deleted asset in Cascade is only available to restore for approximately 2 weeks after you have deleted it.  After that time, it is permanently deleted from the system and there is no way to restore it.  Please be careful when deleting anything from your site.

Deleting Tip #2: Deleting an asset in Cascade automatically unpublishes it from the web server (i.e. your published website).  

To delete an asset:

  1. Click a the page/asset you wish to delete and then click More on the top bar on the asset viewer.
  2. Click on Delete.
  3. Confirm you would like to delete your asset in the pop-up (Cascade will display the file path for review).
  4. The asset will now appear in the trash folder.

 If you wish to restore a deleted file, please see the "Restore" documentation, directly below.

Note on Deleting folders: To help prevent leaving empty folders on your web server, when unpublishing assets Cascade CMS will now check if the assets' parent folder on the web server is empty and if so will attempt to delete it (with the exception of the site's base folder).

When you Delete items in Cascade, they are moved to the Trash folder and remain there for approximately 2 weeks. During that time, you will be able to Restore the file.  
  1. To begin, click on the Trash folder which can be found in the left sidebar under Site Content.  
  2. You will be directed to a menu of items you have recently deleted.  If you cannot find your item in this trash folder, you will not be able to restore it (and WTS cannot restore it either.)
  3. Select the file you want to restore.
  4. Click on the Restore icon (an arrow pointing left).
  5. You should see a box on the top right corner saying your restore was successful. Your file should now be restored to its original location.
