Content is added to Berkeley Web Builder sites via content types (pages) and page widgets. Any user account with a role can work with content within the scope of that role's permissions (see Permissions by role). All content should follow best practices for content accessibility and the guidelines provided by the Digital Accessibility Program.

Add content types / pages

Site Managers, Site Builders, Editors, and Contributors will see an option called "Add Content" in the sidebar menu; see Figure 1, below.

This "Add Content" option goes to the corresponding page on the user dashboard. This page contains all of the content types that have been enabled on your Berkeley Web Builder site. Note: The Features page on the dashboard will indicate if there are additional content types that have not yet been enabled on your site; work with your Site Manager to enable any additional features and content types. 

Review the available content types and then select the corresponding "add" button to add a new Basic page, Custom page, News item, etc. See Figure 2, below.
