Intro to CMS

Introduction

The Content Management System (CMS) allows you to make updated and edits to the front end pages of your store. Changes include navigation menu updates, banner changes, image changes, links, and displayed text.

Accessing CMS

To access the CMS in your store, go to the CMS tab on the left hand side, then click on CMS.

CMS Layout

The layout of the CMS contains the following elements:

1. Visit Page - Opens up the link to your store's home page.
2. Admin Page - Will display the front end page containing the admin settings. This is an advanced feature.
3. Update All Store Pages - Flush the store's cache to reflect the updates on the front end of the store.
4. Update Store CDN/quick search - Updates and refreshes cache for CDN/quick search.
