About this website
This website is a central place to showcase the different building components that an Authorized Publisher can use to build a website or a page on AUB's domain using Microsoft SharePoint Content Management System (CMS).
In the right menu you can browse the different page layouts and templates samples. Under web parts you can see the different web parts available for adding to a page, each web part has a page showing it and explaining how to add/modify it.
Important Note: You cannot add the same web part twice on one page.
Always make sure that your website is up-to-date and that you are using proper English along with short and concise information. Do not create new pages and sub sites without consulting with the Office of Communications.
