GovCMS Content Administration Training Manual

NextContributing and Feedback Guide

Last updated 1 year ago

Was this helpful?

This training manual is for government or not-for-profit employees using GovCMS to edit and manage their website. However, many of the concepts in this manual can be applied to other Drupal sites.

This manual assumes you have GovCMS on your local computer or on the GovCMS hosting platform. While there are no specific knowledge prerequisites, if you’ve had experience with other CMSs you’ll find this course (and using GovCMS) easier.

What you will learn

In this training manual, you will learn how to:

  1. Login to the administration area and access key areas

  2. Create and manage content and content revisions

  3. Create and manage files and media assets

  4. Publish content and learn the GovCMS content moderation workflow

  5. Manage content URLs, URL aliases and redirects

  6. Use taxonomy to categorise content

  7. Create online forms

  8. Manage blocks of content and update site navigation

  9. Manage content layout

  10. Understand more about GovCMS and Drupal

About GovCMS

Welcome to GovCMS, a whole-of-government digital platform based on open source content management system (CMS) Drupal.

One of the advantages of GovCMS as a whole-of-government digital platform is that the content covered in this course can be applied to the many GovCMS websites across Australian government. In addition, while this course focuses on GovCMS, much of the content and exercises can be applied to Drupal websites.
