📚Resources

Resources are the foundation of the authoring work of users. Resources can be viewed either by navigating to the Dashboard page or visiting the dedicated Resources page.

Resources Page

The Resources page provides a list-style overview of all the resources available in Snowray.

Depending on your access type, you might not have permission to all the content. For more information, check out the Access management page.

Each resource type is indicated with its own icon, and they can be arranged into Bundles to create a hierarchical and more organized structure.

Resources Page

Selecting a resource will activate the Quick Details section, which will be updated with useful information about the given resource, such as ID, status, creation date, or visibility.

You can click the title of the resource in the Quick Details header to navigate to its Overview tab.

Lifecycle

After creating a resource, its status will be set automatically to draft. Once the content reached its desired state and was released, the status of the resource will be updated to active. Should a resource be outdated or out of use, it can be retired and be reviewed later on. On the other hand, if a resource is not intended to be used again, it can also be deleted.

When working with resources, the page of the resource will not be refreshed automatically. If a page gets outdated because of modifications made by other users, a dialog will appear in the bottom right corner to indicate this.

Refresh Page

To refresh the page, simply click on the button prompted in the notification.

Refreshing the page will discard all the uncommitted changes.
