InContext Editing

Getting started with InContext Editing for end users

Imagine that your company has hired a developer to create a site, and they have instructed this developer to include light editing capability on this site using the Adobe InContext Editing online service, so that you (and other) employees will be able to easily perform maintenance tasks, such as timely content updates or inserting new images. The following article describes how to make these edits to an InContext Editing enabled site, and relies on screen shots taken from a demo site I have mounted at http://icedemo.gws-sitetest.com/. You will not be able to actually perform these edits, so please follow along using the narrative and the screenshots to guide you.
