The following instructions apply to both versions of the Cascade themes, however for detailed instructions on how to work with content on the legacy theme, visit learncascade.nmsu.edu

Add a Page

There are several types of pages that can be created in Cascade CMS. When using the red plus sign for adding content (inside the Add Standard Pages. folder), select one of the Standard Page templates from the dropdown menu.

Upload an Image

Uploading an image to Cascade CMS through the Common asset factory, using the red plus sign (Add Content) ensures that the appropriate metadata is included with the image, making it search-engine friendly, and 508 compliant for persons with disabilities.

Upload a PDF File

Uploading a PDF to Cascade CMS is done through the Common Asset Factory, using the red plus sign for adding content. We recommend your documents be saved in PDF format because you can ensure the security of the content and they are viewable on any device, including mobile devices.

Add a Folder

Folders are assets that are used to contain and organize images, documents and webpages. When inside a site, the Site Content menu on the left is where your folders and their contained assets are displayed.

Add an External Link

An external link is an asset that points to a website outside of Cascade CMS. External links are useful when you need to build dropdown menus in your navigation menu.
