Update Web Content
A&S Communications offers two systems that content editors can use to update their content from their own computer. These two systems are different in the type of content they manage:
Arts & Sciences website content
News content
Content editors are the people behind the scenes who not only own the content, but also update and maintain it. Content editors are those clients who have access to make direct changes to the text on the website.
Arts & Sciences website content
The Arts & Sciences website (http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu) (which you're now looking at!) is updated by administrators and staff with the Dean's Office, College, Graduate School, etc who need to communicate with students and faculty about deadlines, forms and other information.
Remember
When updating content on the A&S website, your changes will publish overnight and be available to the public the next morning.
