Contact: [[creative]]
Summary
The following message was sent to all Cascade editors on December 2, 2025.
Full Description
As we've been reviewing our own content, the University Web & Design team has compiled a few tips and reminders that can make your content review and cleanup easier and more efficient.
Larger Previews
When logged into Cascade and viewing a webpage, get a larger preview by closing the folder tree sidebar. To do this, simply select the Close Sidebar button above the left-column folder tree. Select it again to re-expand.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts in Cascade can save you time and clicks, helping you get into a faster content review flow.
- D: Delete — Start deleting an asset.
- E: Edit — Opens the asset for editing.
- P: Publish — Start publishing the asset.
- V: Versions — View the asset's version history.
- L: Relationships — Views the asset's internal relationships.
Easily Update Images & Documents
If you have identified a previously uploaded file that is no longer accurate, you can quickly replace it with a newer version without starting from scratch. Replacing the file this way has a major advantage: the links you and other web editors have created to the file or image will be maintained automatically to avoid any broken links on webpages and in search results.
Search for Incorrect Uses of the University's Name
While identified points of contact have a tool that alerts them to incorrect uses of the university's name, all Cascade editors can also manually search their respective sites for these instances.
Using the built-in search functionality, you can narrow your search results to just the pages you work on. On www.wm.edu, search can be accessed from the W&M Menu or directly at www.wm.edu/about/search. Cascade sites outside of www.wm.edu can also use the global search available at the top of their sites.
To search just one specific part of the website, you need to begin your search by typing "site:" followed by the web address of that site. For example, if you wanted to search only the University Web & Design website for the term "Cascade," the search entry must be written like this: site:www.wm.edu/offices/webanddesign "Cascade".
