From YouTube: Creating and editing case studies

Description

In this Netlify CMS learning resource video we demonstrate how to create and edit case studies using Netlify CMS.

A

Hello lauren here tyler and in this installment over netlify's cms learning resource we're going to go over case studies and we've migrated them all over to a new template and just gonna walk through that process.

A

So go ahead and share my screen there we go so we're gonna start off here on this handy dandy, handbook page um and the link to the admin accessing the admin right down. Here.

A

Click on that sucker and I'm actually gonna go back real, quick, because I want to save that url we're going to come back to it.

A

Okay! Now, now we're really going to go.

A

It's going to take us the admin. I started a mock case study before this uh video. So if we go over to workflow, we're gonna see it here.

A

It's called the wonderland case study and it's gonna. Take you to the screen where you're going to input all your content and data and we'll just kind of walk through what each part is.

A

um We've got title final, url path, canonical path, social share, image, cover image and you just kind of walk through this and fill in all your content, and I'm going to show you how this is going to look in a second um lots of content.

A

It's probably a better way to show that um you just kind of got to do it. Put all your stuff in there make it happen once you click the save button, it's going to create a mr. So if I click this button it would save it and you go to nutlify cms drafts.

A

We can see here's the mr that the cms booted up for me and it's awesome- our pipeline is done here, so we can actually go look at this page that I just created now, if I click on that review, app, it's going to just open us up to the base url- and this is where it's handy to come over here and say: okay, this is my final url path and down here you have a little note that it's going to be at customers, url and the canonical path. That's the full one.

A

So if I take that go over here, customers wonderland there- it is- and this is our new customer uh case- study template. So we have our hero, and these are three call outs where you call out numbers like 10. You know from 10 deployments to one or up or whatever and the benefits, usually those are in a list, but they can be in any format that you want.

A

We've got the overview, title content, this nice little poll quote section contents, and here we can designate what other case studies we want and this sidebar data and if you go back here, we'll be able to see where all of this content lives. um So I will go over the let's see these are cool customer stats. So we got our three thirty five, ten thousand nine hundred. We can see that I did that wrong, so I'm gonna actually update that comma there and we're gonna name it cool stuff stuff.

A

So that's me making an edit push the save button right there and we're gonna be able to see over here in a second once it finishes. This takes a little while it's going to push a new commit up, and you will be able to see that exact change that we just made here um and here's this additional case study block down here, where you can put whatever title you want to show and then the link to the case study. So here you can see it's, how get lab geo supports navidias and we can see.

A

This is where that case study is here.

B

And see sorry, um the in the uh interface it said that was the link is optional. Is that the case, or is that just a.

A

B

A

Leftover yeah um yeah, you got to put the link, or else there will be no link. um I said it's optional, because if it's required, then that means you have to put case study links down below.

B

Right, it makes.

A

The whole sales they.

A

um Back here at our mr, we can see this commit and I've updated it again. This is the one I just did one minute ago and click on it and we can see here's the exact change I made um we'll go back here. Let's say: let's go back to here. You want to find where these are here's all of our collections.

A

We have a lot now and right in here case studies, so we have quite a few in here and you can go and edit any of these or you can create a new one.

A

Let's say I want to come in and edit this money farm, it's going to open up and let you edit any of that content open up, merge, requests for you. Do the review app and we can see here all the all the stuff is so get in there. Try it out super cool.

B

Yeah, I'm excited that's awesome.
