Editing Page Content
The website pages were built using Divi Builder. While this tool does make the website building process a lot easier, there is still the potential to mess something up while using it.
You are welcome to contact us with any page edits (1-hour of edits is included each month), but if you would like to edit yourself, please follow these instructions:
.
- From the website dashboard, select “Pages” on the left side menu
- Hover over the page you would like to edit and select “Edit with Divi” (It’s important to select “Edit with Divi” and not “Edit”)
- This will open up the visual editor. You can click on any element on the page and then select the black settings icon to edit it
- If you make a mistake, select the 3 purple dots on the bottom of the screen, select the clock icon, then select the undo icon
- After making any changes, select “Save” on the bottom right, then select “Exit Visual Builder” at the top center of the screen
Changing the Site Logo
- From the website dashboard, hover over the “Divi” tab on the left side menu and select “Theme Options”
- The very first line says “Logo” and you will see buttons to upload a new logo image
- After making any changes, select “Save Changes”
Post-meeting Survey

- Login using your gmail account that was added as an admin on the survey (varkrzsurvey@gmail.com)
