How to update the navigation menus?

What formats should I use for photos?
Please upload high resolution .png or .jpg photos (maximum file size 20MB). We will automatically resize them for various screen sizes.
What formats should I use for files?
Almost all content should be added as a page (HTML) using the content management system. HTML pages are much better for accessibility and mobile browsers, which are more than 50% of our website visitors. If you must upload a file the best choices are normally .pdf documents or .xlsx files for table data (maximum file size 12MB). You must ensure that you make all documents that you uploaded accessible for all. For help with making accessible documents you can participate in an accessibility training session with the UCLA Disability and Computing Program.
Why do my headings have to go Heading 2, Heading 3, Heading 4, etc.?
All pages must have a Heading level 1 (your page title) and the next level must be Heading 2, which must follow Heading 3 because this is required for accessibility (which is both the law in the US and UCLA policy). You can read more about the details on WCAG's page on headings. The UCLA Brand Guidelines defines the sizes of the different heading levels and we use the brand guidelines font sizing rules for the web.
How to delete a page?
After a page has been published, you can change it to "Archived" at the bottom of the editor. Archived pages can be found under the Pending Approval tab when the state is filtered for Archived.
- If the page has Breadcrumbs or is part of the navigation, request assistance to edit the navigation.
- At the bottom of the editor, change to: Archived.
- Then click on “Save”.
What are custom embeds?
Ensuring accessibility is a top priority for UCLA and the nuances are many, we can help you do complex content types such as in-page buttons, accessible tables, audio, MyUCLA/Google forms, Tableau Data, and Community/Google Calendar embeds. Request assistance to create or update complex content.
How to change the URL alias or add a URL redirect?
