Employees can easily format text, create links, work with tables, insert and upload images and files. The editor is a “WYSIWYG” editor and requires no local installation. Simplicity does not mean a lack of advanced functions
Work with content directly in Microsoft Office
In EPiServer, editors can create and maintain content from Microsft Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Text and images can be processed in Office and published on the Web via EPiServer. The graphical profile of the Web site can be retained, as EPiServer filters out unnecessary formatting from Office. The result of publishing can also be shown as documents or with the formatting retained. The information can then be updated from either Office or EPiServer.
Clear management of images and no broken links
With the aid of EPiServer’s file manager, editors can easily upload images to the Web site. The images can be previewed in miniature and it is possible to insert alternative texts for all images. With EPiServer’s link tool, all types of links and link titles can be given for all links to increase accessibility.
Efficient file management
In the file manager, editors can easily work with files by creating, deleting, renaming and moving files. It is possible to decide, directly from the file manager, who should have permission to do what in the folder in question.
Secure document management
As the editor, you can check in and out documents you work with, so that no one else makes changes at the same time as you. Version control is linked to the Microsoft Office programs Word, Excel and PowerPoint, which enables you to check the files in and out in each program directly from the file manager.
The right information at the right time
In order to be sure that the right information is released at the right time, EPiServer offers the ability to control the date and time of publication. The editor simply lets the system handle the job of when information should and should not be shown.
Simple storage of versions
Every time a page in EPiServer is edited, a new version is created. This means that the old information is not deleted, but can be easily restored by republication. All versions of a page are shown in a clear view, where it is possible to publish, delete and compare versions with each other. From this view it is also possible to set a special time for publication of a version of the page.
Create credibility by spelling correctly
On a Web site, it is important to instill the confidence of the visitor. One way to do this is to write and spell correctly. In EPiServer you can check your spelling with the built-in spell checking function before you publish your information. The spell checking function is an integration with MiLicenseException: License has expired. crosoft Office.
Permission to change in the right place
With the aid of EPiServer’s authorization system, different editors can be granted different rights. Some are granted complete authorization in certain portions of the Web site, others perhaps only have permission to save the information and someone else must publish it. In EPiServer’s tree structure, the permissions you have are shown clearly on each individual page.
