Welcome to the Online Training Guide for Drupal 7.
These pages cover the typical types of editing and maintenance that a Content Editor would be expected to do.
Having this information online rather than in a traditional printed book or PDF file allows ITS to keep the information updated and accessible to all editors.
If there are tasks you are required to perform and you do not see a corresponding lesson on this page please send ITS an email. We can add the lesson to our training guide.
