Before we begin
TinaCMS allows you to easily edit content on your website. In this article, I’ll show you how to get started with editing content so that you can take control of your website.
If you haven’t yet accepted the TinaCMS collaboration invite, check out the article I wrote on that.
1. Navigate to the admin page
Navigate to the admin page on your website. For example, if your website’s URL is https://www.christchurchsedalia.com/ then navigate to https://www.christchurchsedalia.com/admin/.
2. Log in
After you navigate to the admin page, you’ll be greeted with a popup asking you to log in.
You should already have a TinaCMS collaborator account tied to your website. Again, read the first article if you haven’t done that yet.
Press “Continue to Tina Cloud” and log in with the collaborator email.
3. Find the type of content you want to edit
On the left pane, under “Collections” is the content that you can edit. In this case, we have 2 collections: Videos and Events. Let’s click on Videos.
4. Find the file you want to edit
From here, you can add, edit, or remove videos. Let’s say we want to change the description of our August 13th Sermon video to “A great sermon from August 13th”. Click the “august-13th-sermon” file.
5. Change the description
You can see in the picture that each field inside the form is an editable piece of content. You can change what you wish here. Simply change the description field to “A great sermon from August 13th”.
Important: hit the big blue Save button at the bottom of the screen to save your changes.
All done
And that’s pretty much it. Your changes should be live in about five minutes.
I didn’t go over how to add or remove content, but it’s fairly straightforward. If you still need help, please feel free to contact me!
