New concepts:

We've tried to make the site as familiar as possible for those of you who used the old Plone site. However, there are a few ideas in the new site, which we hope will make life simpler once you've gotten used to them:

1. Parent and child pages

About the Simple Book Structure of Drupal - easier to organise pages in the site

2. Blocks

By block, we mean an item you can put in the sidebar. (see: Putting Blocks in sidebar)

3. Dragging and Dropping

In the View/arrange pages, Edit top menu and Edit sidebars pages, you can see a 'drag and drop' icon (crossed arrows).

If you see that icon, it means you can drag and drop that particular item. Using drag and drop you can change the order of blocks in the left or sidebar, assign that block to a different region of the page, and change the order of the top menu links in the blue bar.

On the View/arrange pages, you can change the parent/child structure of the site by dragging a page to a different place in the site.

Note: for your changes to be saved, you have to press the save button.
