The process for changing the top image or video depends on your website's design. Here's how you can do it:

If it's a background image on the homepage:

• This is usually managed through the Shuffles feature.

• Go to Media > Shuffles in your Edlio dashboard.

• Find the shuffle for your homepage.

To edit the shuffle:

• Click on the thumbnail or name of the shuffle you want to modify.

• You'll see options to add, remove, or edit slides.

To add new images or videos:

• Click the upload media button.

• Drag and drop your new media into the dotted box or click Upload.

• Remember to save your changes.

If you're having trouble or your website has a different setup, create a support case for further help!

Here's how you can do it:

First, go to "Announce on Website" and select "Spotlight Messages" from the dashboard. You can also use the upper left-hand menu to navigate to Announce on Website → Spotlight Messages.

Once there, select the spotlight message you want to edit. If you have only one, you'll go straight to the edit screen.

Now you can update the following:

• Message text

• Featured photo

• Additional images or files

• "Read More" link (optional)

When you're done making changes, remember to save your work. That's it! Your updated spotlight message will now be visible on your website.

Go to Page Management → Links in your dashboard.

Look for a topic called "Homepage Links" or something similar.

If you see a note saying "If your homepage displays links, manage them here," that's where you can update your quick links.

Add, edit, or delete links in this section to change what appears on your homepage.

If you can't find these options, some homepage links might need to be updated by our support team. In that case, you can provide us with the new titles and links you want, and we'll update them for you.

Remember, only website administrators can make these changes.

Go to Site Management → Site Navigation in your dashboard.

Find the menu where you want to add the social media link (often in the footer or header).

Click "New Item" to add a new link.

Choose the "URL" option.

Enter a name for the link (e.g., "Instagram" or "LinkedIn").

Paste the URL of your social media profile in the "Enter a website address" box.

Choose whether you want the link to open in a new tab or the same window.

Click "Done" to add the link.

Click "Save" at the top of the page to apply your changes.

Remember, only website administrators can make these changes. If you need help connecting your social media accounts for posting, you can find more information in the "Social" tab of your website settings.

Let's go through the image size requirements for different features on your homepage:

Shuffles: There are specific dimensions for photo shuffles, but the exact size isn't mentioned. You can upload larger images and use the built-in crop tool within the Shuffles feature to get the right dimensions. The shuffle dimensions are shown just above the media upload section when you're adding slides.

News section: There's no specific image size requirement for news items. The system automatically resizes images to fit the designated space.

Spotlight messages: When adding a featured photo to a spotlight message, there's no mentioned specific size requirement. The system likely handles resizing.

Homepage Alert: If you're using a featured photo for a homepage alert, the layout will change based on the image orientation. Landscape images appear above the alert content, while portrait and square images are displayed side-by-side.

For the best results, it's a good idea to use high-quality images that are larger than the display area. This allows for proper cropping and resizing without losing image quality. If you need exact dimensions for any specific feature, reach out to our support team.

Here's how you can do it:

Go to User Management in your dashboard.

To add a new user, tap "New User" in the top right corner.

Fill out the required fields (username, first name, last name, password, and email address).

Navigate to the "Site Access" tab to set user types and permissions.

For editing rights, go to "Categories & Sections" and check "Edit Access" for the desired pages.

You can also grant additional admin access or allow access to password-protected areas if needed.

Save to finish creating the user or updating their permissions.

Remember, only website administrators can access User Management and make these changes. If you need to make someone a website administrator, you'll need to reach out to a Super Administrator in your organization for help.

Go to Page Management → Redirects in the upper left-hand menu.

Click to save the redirect.
