It’s possible that you will run across something on the site that isn’t quite right (not that I ever make mistakes, but…) or a typo on a page you, or someone else, has created. Site Moderators and Administrators have the ability to edit that content and fix it – even if it was originally contributed by someone else. Site authors have the ability to edit their own content.
Just keep in mind that we can track all posts on the back end, so be nice!
There are different types of content, but most can be edited in one way or another.
For example if you’re checking out the site and realize that my directions from the Elk Grove area are sending people the long way around, you can click the edit tab on that content and fix the directions. Or you could add a second set of directions as a Child Page (see the Add Child Page link below the content?).
(Notice that I’ve included a link to Google maps on the directions pages, and notice the backwards / up one level / forwards links at the bottom of the page!)
As a general rule, don’t ever edit someone else’s blog post unless they’ve asked you to – blogs are personal and not for the general public; there’s no need to be editing them unless by request. Ditto group entries and such - any private or semi-private posts, get permission first! Public content, however, is fair game - if you've entered a Calendar event and someone else notices that the time is incorrect, they're free to edit it.
Since books are designed to be collaborated on, book pages will have a "revision" tab at the top of the page that tracks the history of each revision to that content. Cool!
