Log In

To edit content, you have to be one of our institutional partners. You can access editing features by first logging in through your institutional account which we’ve provided you with. 

Click “log in” in the upper right-hand corner.

OPEN THE EDIT WINDOW

As you hover over any text in the story, you’ll see an edit icon appear.

Click this to make any changes.

Start Editing

You can edit any story credited to your institution. The byline of the story indicates who this Story belongs to.

Editing

After you’ve clicked the edit icon, a pop-out window will appear over your map. You can re-arrange the order of your story using this box.

If you’re in the middle of editing a story and click out of it or if you close your browser, we’ll keep a record of any changes made.

Save and Publish

If you’ve made all the changes necessary, go ahead and click “Save” and “Publish” in the Edit window.

Your changes will be live on our platform!
