Sorry if this a basic question - updating Text
Hello all!
First let me say how much I like the product now that I am beginning to understand it better - it's very flexible and comprehensively specified. I also love the modular concept, not only easier for maintenance, but it also makes it less over-whelming to get started.
I have a (probably basic) question. I want to update the text in the 'page content' sections of the various pages (e.g. the Home Page, the Contact Page), as found in the Color Palette section of the CE4 Pages web gallery. My question is:"what is the most efficient way for me to edit and publish changes in the text on those pages?"
I am happy with the rest of the settings, have galleries set up and know how to publish text changes to those galleries and how to work with gallery templates - it's not about that that I am asking.
If there's not a 'direct' publishing route (as with gallery publishing) and I have to edit directly and re-export the CE4 pages template, I'd like to know which files will carry the new information, so that I can then upload on to the server, so as not to disturb other elements of the site (e.g. galleries and templates) that I am happy with.
I hope someone can help, and apologies again if this is very obvious to experienced users - I'm new to web-publishing!

Re: Sorry if this a basic question - updating Text
The most efficient way to update text in Pages is to:
In Lightroom, change the text in the Pages plug-in.
Export Pages.
Upload the files in the fragments/ folder to the corresponding fragments/ folder on the server.
Even if you upload the entire Pages export, you won't disturb existing albums or templates.
But the fragments files certainly take a lot less time to upload
