Basic Training Agenda
In this training, you will create and edit several Paragraph Types and Content Types on an existing Site Page in the Editor user role. We will then take a short break while the instructor increases your user role to Publisher. You will publish content, then see how that content appears in different default Views. Training will conclude with an independent exercise. You may continue practicing on this site until the next scheduled training. If you have questions during that week, please email the instructor.
