Identifying Where to Edit in Drupal

Before fixing an issue, you need to know where it "lives." In Drupal, there are three main ways to access content:

If you are logged in and viewing a page, hover your mouse over the area with the issue.

  1. The "Pencil" Method
    • The Cue: If a small Pencil Icon (or a gear) appears in the top-right corner of a block, click it and select Edit.
    • Best for: Menu links, sidebar blocks, and individual video/image widgets.

If the issue is in the main text of a page (like a heading or a link):

  1. The "Content List" Method (Pages, Articles)
    • Go to Admin > Content.
    • Use the Filters to search for the page by title or type.
    • Click Edit next to the correct page.

If a link in the top nav or footer is broken or missing text:

  1. The "Menu" Method (Navigation)
    • Go to Structure > Menus.
    • Select Main Navigation (or Footer).
    • Find the link title and click Edit (to change the text) or Delete (to remove it).
