2025 Web Redesign Transition
New website templates are being introduced for 2025. Not all information in the UMB Website Manual has been updated yet, and may still refer to the pre-2025 templates.
Components
Name
This name is for internal use only and will not be visible on the page.
Title
Optional
The title to display above the sharing widget. Leave blank to use the default title ("Share This Page").
Description
Optional
A descriptive blurb or call to action.
Branch Content
This content type works well when added to a Branch Content section, which places the content at the bottom of every page in a given branch of the website. You may also see Branch Content sections labelled Left Column Branch if they are left over from a previous version of the website template.
How to create a Branch Content section:
- Create a new section titled Branch Content, one level below the landing page of your website. The section must have that exact title. Be sure to un-check the Show in Navigation check-box before clicking Save Changes.
- Add content to this section. Any content item(s) added to this section will appear at the bottom of every page on your website. After saving and approving your content, run a publish of the entire branch to update the live website.
