1. click on the edit pencil.
2. Make content changes. The content supports plain text and Commonmark flavored Markdown.
3. Attach files by dragging and dropping, selecting or pasting them.
4. Save your changes by clicking the Commit changes button. This will create a new branch for this commit to start a pull request.
5. The guides-admins group (hey, that's us!) is set as the default reviewers.
6. Preview your changes using the cloud.gov Pages preview link.

Keep watching this repo for Content Management System tests. Let us know if you'd like to participate!

Accessibility

Hopefully you already have pa11y-ci running globally! Hugo generates a default sitemap for each language out of the box. Let pa11y-ci check all the URLs in the sitemap with the following command:

pa11y-ci -s http://localhost:1313/en/sitemap.xml --sitemap-find "//localhost:1313" --sitemap-replace "http://localhost:1313/"
