Advanced & Less Common

Last Updated June 2026

Most of the content in this section is for Administrators who have access to more features. Most of the COFA websites are administered by the COFA Web team so it’s easier for content owners to focus on editing the content. We are always here to help, so if you see a feature in this section that you’d like to add to your site – or need to update content that you don’t have access to – please reach out to us.

The pages in this section are to showcase more options and features that can be added to your site and some of the less common features. It also provides instructions for the few content owners who have been granted Administrator access for one of the following reasons:

  • The website requires the assignment of many editors, such as student assistants.
  • You have frequent edits to the menu.
  • A content owner has shown an entrepreneurial interest in developing the website and has proven that the level of commitment will be sustained.

Added Responsibility

Administrators have access to break things. In particular, please do not change the Theme. The COFA Web team has made sure the websites comply with all legal requirements and policies of the university. There are many page layout options available without administrator access.

If you desire to explore the advanced features not included in the instructions on this site we recommend you request a test site for experimentation. If you discover something that you would like to implement, please contact us.
