STEP 2: Click the Submit Button

Check over all of your changes in the preview screen now displaying in the Workspace.

If you need to make changes, click the Edit button again to resume editing.

If everything appears ready for publishing to the production server (the live websites), or if you need to preview exactly what your changes would like (publish to the staging server), click the Submit button in the Action Bar.

STEP 3: Click the Check Content & Submit Button

After clicking the Submit button, a new box will appear beneath it. Inside of that box will be a field for leaving comments and a single button.

Click the Check Content & Submit button to have Cascade run a spell check, a link check, and an accessibility check on the page.

The Content Check screen will display.

STEP 4: Click the Right Arrow Button 

The top of the Content Check screen shows the three types of checks Cascade makes and the number of errors it has found.

In the accompanying screenshot, Cascade has found four spelling errors, two broken links, and zero accessibility errors. This is displayed by the red dots at the top right corner of each of the check tabs.

During each check, click the Right Arrow to advance to the next check.

The three checks Cascade runs are:

  • Spell Check: Checks for spelling errors. Leave the errors on Ignore to ignore the error, or click the circle for Fix for a dropdown menu with spelling suggestions. Typing into that field will allow you to make custom corrections.
  • Broken Links: Checks for links on the page that no longer work. Leave on Ignore to skip, or click Fix to make a correction.
  • Accessibility: Mostly checks for the correct tags used on tables. Leave on Ignore to skip, or click Fix to make a correction.

During each check, click the Right Arrow to advance to the next check.

STEP 5: Specify the File Name Correctly

Change the Cascade File Name to name the new asset correctly. Make sure to follow the correct Naming Conventions. No capital letters, hyphens instead of spaces (NOT underscores), no special characters (e.g. apostrophes, ampersands, accent marks, etc.), and the only punctuation should be the period for the file suffix.

After the previous step of attaching the document, the File Name will have appended the correct file suffix (e.g. .jpg, .png, .JPEG, etc.). Do NOT remove the file suffix. Cascade needs to know what type of file is being uploaded. When changing the File Name, make sure to retain the correct file suffix.

Changing the Cascade File Name will NOT affect the file on your computer.

STEP 6: Select the Correct Placement Folder

For most users, the correct location should be selected by default. However, it is best to confirm exactly where the new asset will be created.

Click the Placement Folder button and use the Slider Pane to select the folder to place the new asset.

Result: The selected file path will display under the Placement Folder.

STEP 7: Make Any Image Modifications

If necessary, you can make alterations to the image. Use the icons in the Image Modifier to flip, invert, rotate, or resize the image.

STEP 9: 1MB Memory Size Limit

If the attached file exceeds 1MB, the asset will not create. See instructions on how to Compress Files. If that still can't get the file small enough, see how to get access to Catcher, the Large File Server.

STEP 10: Click Save & Preview

STEP 14: Start Workflow

Once everything is correct, click the blue Start Workflow button. Unlike other edits that require a Workflow to go through Content Review and/or Technical Review, an uploaded image will automatically complete the Workflow process.

STEP 15: Confirmation

Once the asset clears Workflow, you'll see it display as an asset in the Explorer. Selecting it will make it display in the Workspace.
