Help Page

The Help Page content type lets you share information with users who share editing responsibilities of your GW Drupal website. This content type should be used to explain site-specific processes to other editors of your website.

For example, if you have specific design requirements for Hero banners. Or if you have a tagging structure set up for a feed of Articles, Events, or a Person directory.

Help Pages can only be created by Site Owners, and are only visible to users with access to log into your GW Drupal site’s backend.
