Edit Tab
The Edit tab is where you will do most of your work. When you first access a page, if it is not checked out and assigned to you, the entire content is gray and cannot be edited.
Figure 1. The Site Map (or document tree) on the left and the Edit Pane on the right. In this instance, the Edit pane is grayed out, meaning that you cannot edit it until it is assigned to you.

Preview Tab
Select any page to view the Preview Tab.
Use the Preview Tab to see how your page will look in the Internet Explorer browser.
Unlike traditional word processing or page layout programs such as MS Word, Quark, and InDesign, the content management system separates the content from its design. This allows you to concentrate on what you are most expert at, your content. It allows Pacific to engage seasoned web design professionals to assist us in developing an overall design that unifies the university.
The Preview Tab enables you to see what your content will look like as you work on it and before it is finally published.
