So if your site is live and you have launched, you will be able to contact Elio support this is a direct way to contact our support team. If your site isn't live you're not going to see this here. Don't fret like I was saying earlier you can reach out to your client success specialist and they can get in contact with being able to create a case for you and reach out to support, but if we do have tech support readily available and your site is launched you can come over here if you can create a case. Also right here this will also take you to the help center as far the Articles and other features that we may have. And then right here if you do need to create a case. You can create one right here by clicking this button, or also to if you need you for whatever reason get in to get into contact with the support team this is our line.

So right here if you click on this dashboard button, it's going to take it back to our dashboard, but we're going to go to right now is our profile. So as a teacher, I have my account setup here. If I click on this button. This basically right here,  this layout gives us just a breakdown of what we have in our profile. If I click right here on edit profile. This will take us if we need to have any changes far as: our name, our position, or specific title. You can change that here, as well as your email. Say for instance if there's any issues with misspelling or anything you can change that right here. And has a button where you can hide the emails from the public if that is needed. So we'll click on save, it's going to take us back home. Cool, I'm going to jump over one more time, just to kind of show you.

So we are just going to click on crop and save and now we have a picture set for a profile. Awesome. So now, I'm going to just click right here and if you click on your dashboard title right here this is just going to take your homepage. So if you're wondering how to get back there just click on that and that will take you here, or you can click like I said you prior on the dashboard icon right there and I will take you back to your homepage as well. So now let's go ahead and start building a page. So we're going to go over to our hamburger menu, we are going to go to page management and pages. Awesome! So right now we see my profile page or at least on the dashboard side Mr. Chris Mayfield. So if I click on this public link, this is going to take us to our site. So right now it's a pretty basic site, pretty basic page. As you can see I have some classes and then my profile picture and basically my profile and also to where I can subscribe to my class and I will go into more detail with that. So right now we are going to add a page. Before I do that, I mentioned to you earlier for teachers that you do have you can click on view deleted pages. For any pages that you may have had and you are removing that's going to be stored there, but for now we're going to be adding a page. So I am going to click blank page and we can just do bio.

So I'm going to go ahead and add some text. [typing] Cool. And this also has this collapsible button. What's this is, is that allows you to kind of have a Dropbox on your page. So I'll build one now without, and then the next one I'll add one with. So you can kind of see the different features with that. Also to with adding any content.  here we have different features, where you can bold or italicized, you can change the alignment. You can have bullet or number list and also to you can change font color. This right here is for any specific hyperlink that you want to add. Say for instance, we add right there and you just add the title there so it will have a hyperlink right there for you. Also to we have right here if you need to add any type of source code you can add that there with that button, and also to text formatting. So anytime say for instance if you have any text or something that you pulled and copying from a website or a file document you can use the setting right here in that will clear format and that basically just clears up any type of text and spacing and we'll get it to the correct format that you have currently on your page. So it won't look all kind of jumbled up and messy, and also too you can change your font size.
