First/Previous/Next/Last Buttons

You can use these buttons to move through the pages within the edition, or jump to the first and last pages.

S.T.E.V.E Drop-down

To help make editing easier, there are three buttons above the text box that use your computer’s clipboard:

  3. Paste

There are also three mode buttons below the text-box:

Design – This mode is the basic mode for editing in.

HTML – This mode shows the HTML tags in your content for advanced editing.

Preview – This mode disables the cut, copy and paste buttons and prevents editing. It is ideal for proof-reading text to prevent accidental edits.
