How to update your website content in Umbraco

1. Log in to Umbraco

• Open your web browser.

• Go to your Umbraco login page (usually something like www.yourwebsite.com/umbraco).

• Enter your username and password and hit Login

If you forget your password - it happens to all of us! - there’s a "forgot password" link on the page too.

2. Find the page you want to update

• On the left, you'll see a section called Content.

• Click on it - this is where all your website pages live.

• Use the little arrows to expand folders and find the page you want to edit.

Tip: Pages are often arranged just like your website’s menu, so it’s quite easy to find your way around.

3. Make your edits

• Click the page you want to change.

• In the middle of the screen, you’ll see different fields like:

  • Page Title (the name in menus)

  • Content Section (the big chunk of text)

  • Image Section (the pictures to go with your text)
    
    
• Click on the content you want to update, which will bring up the content editor.
  
  
• Make your changes.
  
  
• Click Submit.
  
  

Editing text is really simple - just click inside the box and type, like you would in Word or Google Docs.
You can also use the toolbar above to:

• Bold text

• Create bullet points

• Add links

Top tip: If you're pasting text in from somewhere else, use "Paste as plain text" to avoid weird formatting surprises.

4. Save and publish

• When you're happy with your changes, go to the bottom right corner and click:

  • Save if you want to save without showing it live yet.

  • Save and publish if you’re ready for everyone to see it!

✅ Remember: If you only hit "Save," the public won't see your updates until you "Publish."

5. Preview first (if you want)

If you’d like to double check how your page looks before going live:

• Click the Save and preview button down the bottom.

It’s a nice safety check, especially if you’re making bigger changes.

6. Adding images

• Scroll down to where you want the image to be.

• Hover your mouse to get the (+) button to bring up your content options.

• Select Image Section to open up the image editor.
  
  
• Add the Alias (title), Image Caption (if required) and the Image.
  
  
• You can either pick an existing image from the Media Library or upload a new one from your computer.
  
  
• Here you can also play with image size, adjusting it to Full width, Container width or Content width. Plus you can adjust the spacing above and below the image. (Have a play!)
  
  

• Click Create

• Next Save and preview, to see your changes.
  
  
• Once you are happy - Save, or Save and publish!

Quick note: Try to upload images that aren’t massive (around 1500–2000px wide is usually perfect) - it keeps the site speedy.
