The Drupal Interface

Drupal Navigations

At the top of the Drupal interface, you have two navigations to help you get to various areas in Drupal.

 

Primary Navigation

The primary navigation is the top black bar in Drupal. This always stays the same. 

  1. Manage - Click to manage the content on your area
  2. Shortcuts - Includes Quicklinks to Find Content
  3. User Name - Access your profile or logout
 

Secondary Navigation

The Secondary Navigation is the white bar in under the Primary Navigation. This navigation changes when you click an item in the Primary Navigation.

    • My Workbench - Click to access your workbench, the main area to manage your content.
    • Content - Click to view published versions of all pages on the Delta College website. You can also access your content from here.

My Workbench

My Workbench is where you can quickly navigate to items relevant to you. To access your My Workbench:

  1. Click on Manage from the Primary Navigation
  2. Click on My Workbench from the Secondary Navigation

In your My Workbench, you will have access to the following areas:

  • My Content -  See a list of the edits you have made and a list of all content you have permission to access.
  • Create Content - Go here to create new content (if your permissions allow you to)
  • File List - See a list of all the files you have permission to edit (i.e. images or documents). From here you can also see what nodes the file has been placed on.
  • My Drafts - See a list of all nodes you have permission to edit that are in "draft" mode (i.e. not published).
  • Needs Review - See a list of all nodes that need to be reviewed prior to publishing them live.
