All content types share a set of standard fields that are introduced in Navigating a node edit form. This guide focuses on additional fields for resources.
When editing a resource node, you should:
For general guidance on adding and editing content, see:
Adding new content to your site and Making changes to existing content on your site.
Step 1 - Add a new resource

This takes you to a node edit form for a resource node.

Step 2 - Select resource category
Select a resource category from the drop-down list ( 1 ). 'Resource category' is a taxonomy, so its terms can be changed by content administrators.
Step 3 - Add resource metadata
The default 'Issue date' ( 2 ) will be today’s date, so change this if needed.
You can group resources by topic by giving them 'Tags' ( 3 ). New tags can be added by content administrators - see Introduction to taxonomies to learn more.
Step 4 - Attach related files
Select files ( 4 ) to attach document versions of your resource, or other related files. You can learn about uploading files in Adding files using the media browser.
Step 5 - Add body content
Add the main content of your news item to the 'Body' field. For more information about using this field, see our Introduction to the WYSIWYG editor.
Step 6 - Add related content
As well as related files, you can attach related content in the form of internal and external links. To learn more about this, see Adding related content to a node.
Step 7 - Change the standard node settings
The standard node settings (e.g. authoring information) are at the side of the node edit form. You can learn more about these settings in Changing standard node settings.
Step 8 - Preview and publish the resource
At the bottom of the node edit form you can save and preview your content.
Before you save your resource as 'published', you should preview it to see how it displays - see Previewing your content. Once you're happy with how it looks, publish the node.
