How to Get Started

The Rich Content Editor External Link is the editor used in Quercus that allows you to enter text, links, images, files, and other forms of content.

Instructions

  • Auto-Save Feature

    New Auto-Save Feature

    For pages with one Rich Content Editor, the editor autosaves unsubmitted content for up to one hour in the case of internet connectivity loss or navigating away from the page. Upon returning to the page, you will be notified that there is autosaved content available.

    Auto-saved content exists. Would you like to load the auto-saved content instead?

    Please note:

    • Saved content is stored on your browser’s local storage, which means autosaved content can only be recovered when using the same browser on the same computer an hour within the last edit.
    • You should continue to save your content frequently. Consider compiling your content outside of Quercus (such as a word processing software) before entering it in the Rich Content Editor.
