Page Statuses

Each page in Drupal is assigned a status. Follow the instructions below to generate and review lists of pages by status:

• Archived – These pages are no longer visible to site visitors.

• Draft – These pages have never been published or made publicly visible.

• Published – These pages are live and accessible to the public.

• Needs Review – These pages have been marked for review by someone else in your unit.

Creating a List of Pages

1. Click Manage Your Content from the Site Management Dashboard. You will be taken to a screen listing all the pages on your site.

2. Use the Status dropdown menu to filter by page status.

3. If you edit for multiple units, select the unit you are reviewing from the Department/Unit dropdown.

4. Click Apply. The list will now display only the pages that match your selected criteria.

Reviewing Pages

1. Review each page listed.

2. Right-click the page title and select Open link in new tab to keep your page list open.

3. Review the content of the page carefully.

Keep a page if it:

  • Consider archiving a seasonal page when it's not in use.

• Has historical value or long-term relevance.

If keeping the page, ensure it is up to date:

• Update outdated content.

• Fix spelling or grammar errors.

• Improve accessibility:

  • Use clear, descriptive link text.
