This is a port of the README file within the Workbench Module. It may need to be adapted to fit the Handbook style.

As an Administrator or a user with Access My Workbench permissions, you will see My Workbench in the toolbar to the right of the Home icon.

My Content

On the My Content tab, you can see three areas:

  • My Profile
  • Content I've Edited
  • All Recent Content

This is your content dashboard. As soon as you Add or edit content, it will be displayed in the Content I've Edited block.

Notice the sub tabs:

  • Content I've Edited
  • All Recent Content

These go to full page lists with filters available to shorten the list of content. You can filter the list by:

  • Title (keywords)
  • Type (Content type)
  • Published (status of the content)
  • Items per page (defaults to 25)

Any lists of content include columns labels which can sort the current list. Each item in the list links to the full content or you can click edit to start editing.

Creating Content

Click the Create Content tab to view a list of types of content that you can create. Remember, we're dealing with Entities now. Initially, Workbench shows various Node Types that you have permission to create. When Workbench Media is enabled, the Media item is added to this list as well.

Click the type of content you want to add, then follow the usual procedure for adding content.
