In order to edit the website, you will need administrator permission to do so; email ########## to ask for permission

 

As said, almost all of the editing that is needed can be done through the Editing interface; in order to access the 'Edit' button and be able to make changes and add content, you will need administrator permission. To get it, email ########## to let us know what it is that you want change/add. Once you have permission, you can login using the 'Log in' button at the top right of your screen and entering your credentials. Once logged in, the 'Edit' button becomes live, and you can access the Confluence editing interface;  

 

Below is a list of all the functions in Edit mode that you would need to use in creating a module on SimCafe.
