Authority to edit posted story

I have four stories which have been migrated to the new site. Thank You for that by the way.
I've been attempting to bring my other stories over, and format them correctly.
I've discovered that I'm unable to edit the original stories, I had wanted to copy the newly designed WhatIF heading and page break images onto my remaining stories.

Hopefully it's possible to grant me access for editing, just my own stories please.

If that doesn't work, could someone show me how to create the shadowy curved line page break?
(I do like the new toolbar for text features, so much easier to use).

Yes, you will be unable to edit anything that is in the 'released' category... only those in the WIF: In Progress and WIF: For Review categories.

However, I can move them out of the released category back to 'in progress' for you to edit and then when you're done, you can have me move them back to released.  Or, if the edits are minor enough, you can just give me a list of quick fixes and one of us with access can just  edit things quickly.

As to the page breaks... use the 'insert image' button. This will open up the 'images' folder. All the linebreaks are in the 'breaks' subfolder. All other art for stories should be in the 'storyimages' folder. All the existing name plates (include the generic one for WhatIF stories) can be found in the storyimages folder.

Let me know how you want to handle the edits.
(oh, also, moving this to the WhatIF forum area)

Fate guard you, and may the Light brighten your Way.

Okay, always something new to figure out.
I appreciate the helpful tips,.
As time permits I will be cleaning up some loose ends in my stories.
Then when ready, ask for them to be moved to published.
Thank you.

Make sure you read the post I made about how to use the CMS, it'll clear up some stuff. Eventually, I'll make a guide with screenshots like we had at the old site... but I'm holding off on those until the site is finished/set, so we don't end up with screenshots that don't match reality.

Hmm, trying to reply again as the reCAPTCHA went red after it was clicked and the reply failed to post.

Was just going to say that I think I ought to wait for that guide to post the latest parts of the new book - as otherwise I'd goober it up and end up annoying you for help. It's clear you've got your hands full as it is with all the migrations and getting the new site up and running! :)

Editing previous released stories just requires me (or someone else with sufficient admin powers) to move your story back out of the released category into the working or review category. It's super-quick and easy to do so don't worry about asking. The post I made in the Order of Worn Wrench section about 'process' should hit on on the critical details of working with the CMS... feel free to create a new 'working' file and play with it. Name it 'delete me' or something similar when its done and I'll clean it up on one of my regular clean up runs.

In theory, nothing you have access to should enable you to mess up anything about the functioning site. And if you CAN, well... it'd probably be good for me to know about it, so I can fix it before someone less worried about messing up stumbles across it. Or, in other words, feel free to play. Just let me know if something breaks or you need a hand.

And if you want to edit something already released either send me a mail using the PM system or make a post in the OotWW and I'll move it for you soon as I see it.
