Click on the Files tab to see the list of files on your site. Click on the Media tab to view a list of the media you’ve uploaded into your GovCMS site. Unit 6: Files and Media Assets looks at managing media files and assets in GovCMS in more detail.

Breadcrumbs and Add content button

Above the Navigation options tab is a breadcrumb link that shows you’re in the Home/Administration section of the site.

At the top right of the page is the Add content button.

Tip: The breadcrumb provides a handy “Home” link, which takes you to the homepage of your site. It’s a fast way to switch from the admin backend to the frontend.

Filter options

Below the Navigation tab is the Filter section. This allows you to filter the list of content displayed. Filtering is covered in the next lesson - Content management - filters overview.
