Creative Cloud Sites / Manage content

There are a number of ways you can manage your site content on Business Catalyst. From an online WYSIWYG editor, SFTP, to an integrated Dreamweaver component. 

• Manage content using the Admin Console pages and templates
• Manage content using the BC Develop mode
• Manage content using Dreamweaver
• Manage content using SFTP

If you created a site from Muse, the options to edit pages in Business Catalyst are disabled. The editing options are disabled because there’s no round-tripping workflow between Muse and Business Catalyst. If you modify the page in Business Catalyst, your changes will be overwritten the next time you update the page in Muse and upload it to Business Catalyst. 

If you need to make edits to a page, work on the page in Muse and upload the page to Business Catalyst again. See Adobe Muse Help and Tutorials.

You can enable the editing options in Business Catalyst as follows:

1. Select My Details from the toolbar menu that displays your name.
2. Select the Enable Online Content Editing option.

Manage content using the Admin Console pages and templates

1. Select Site Manager > Pages.

   • To create a new page, click Add Page

To access the Business Catalyst develop screen, log in to the admin of your site and select the Develop tab.

Manage content using Dreamweaver

You can use Adobe Dreamweaver to manage your site content in the same way you would manage other sites. For more details on using Dreamweaver with Business Catalyst, see Dreamweaver-Business Catalyst integration.

Manage content using SFTP

You can use SFTP to connect to your site and upload pages, templates, and other files such as images.

There are a number of SFTP clients you can use to connect to your site. Regardless of the client you use, the SFTP connection details for your site are as below:

• Host name - mydomain.com
• Protocol - SFTP / SSH File Transfer Protocol
  
• Port - 22
• User name - mydomain.com/email@mydomain.com

Connect to your site, download the content you would like to update, then upload the content back to your site. For more details on managing content using SFTP, see Connect to your site using SFTP.
