This article explains how to edit the settings of an existing DCX standard exhibit. To create an exhibit, see Create a Standard Exhibit.

To reach the exhibit edit page, do either of the following:

• Select Pages in the sidebar, then select the pencil icon next to the title of the exhibit.
  
• From other administration pages within the exhibit, select the three-dot menu next to the exhibit title, then select Edit.

When you are finished, scroll to the bottom of the page and select Save draft. To publish the changes, expand the save menu and select Publish.

Customize Title and Banner

In Title, enter or edit the exhibit title. This field is required. The title is already populated if you created the exhibit while importing content from Digital Commons.

You may also add banner text and a banner image, if you haven't already done so: 

• In Banner text, enter the text that will appear over the banner. Select existing text to display the floating toolbar, which you can use to apply formatting, add headings or lists, create links, or edit HTML. To keep the toolbar visible while you work, select the pin icon. Select it again to unpin the toolbar.
• Select Choose an image to upload a banner image. The recommended dimensions are 1920 × 400 pixels. If you do not choose an image, the default site banner is used. The banner image is also used as the exhibit thumbnail on the site landing page. You can select a different thumbnail by scrolling to Customize at the bottom of the exhibit edit page and selecting Choose an image.

Add Descriptive Text and Other Exhibit Page Content

You may add descriptive text, links, attachments, images, or embedded content to accompany your exhibit. This is configured using one or more Paragraph blocks that display on the exhibit page.

Scroll down to the Body section and look for a Paragraph block. If a Paragraph block doesn't already appear, select the plus (+) icon, then select the Paragraph option.

Use either of the following methods to add or format content:

• Insert content: Place the cursor in the Paragraph block and type / (forward slash). Select an option from the menu, such as a heading, list, link, document, image, or embed.
  
• Format existing content: Select text to display the floating toolbar. Use the toolbar to format the text or to insert supported content. Select the pin icon to keep the toolbar visible while you work; select it again to unpin it.
  

When done adding descriptive text, you can proceed with the additional options on the exhibit edit page, described below. Or, if finished, scroll to the bottom of the page and select Save draft. To publish the changes, expand the save menu and select Publish.

Set an Exhibit as a Featured Collection

The “Featured” option controls which exhibits, if any, appear at the top of the site landing page in a Featured Exhibits section. If you’d like to feature an exhibit, select the Featured checkbox on the exhibit edit page.

Customize Which Metadata Fields Display

After you have imported items to an exhibit, you will have the option to select the metadata fields that will display on item pages. 

A list of metadata fields that were captured for imported items will display in the Customize Metadata section along with checkboxes to select or deselect fields. The Customize Metadata area of the exhibit edit page will be blank until content has been imported into the exhibit.

When you import content, all available metadata fields are pulled over from the DC publication structure. If importing from multiple DC structures, the list will include the metadata fields from all of those publications.

Available metadata fields are based on the fields exposed in the Digital Commons API, which includes most Digital Commons metadata fields, including custom fields. Please ask your consultant if you would like more information about specific fields.

Deselect any fields that you do not want to include on item pages. When you are finished, scroll to the bottom of the page and select Save draft. To publish the changes, expand the save menu and select Publish.

Choose a Custom Thumbnail for an Exhibit

You can choose a custom image to display as the exhibit thumbnail on the site landing page. At the bottom of the exhibit edit page, select Choose an image to upload an image or select one already uploaded to the site.

Control Exhibit Privacy

Select the information (i) icon in the upper-right corner. The icon is labeled Status when you hover over it. In the Status panel, select Change privacy.

By default, the exhibit inherits the site’s privacy setting. That setting appears as the first option in the Change privacy dialog. In the Change privacy dialog, select one of these options:

• Public: Visible to all. If the site is private, this option changes to reflect the site’s current privacy setting.
• Private, accessible with a shared password: Require visitors to enter a shared password.
• Private, accessible to any logged-in users: Limit access to signed-in users.
• Private, accessible to users in specific groups: Limit access to selected groups.

Select Save. Privacy changes apply to all child pages of the exhibit.

Preview the Exhibit at Different Screen Sizes

Select the device-shaped Preview icon in the upper-right corner. In the Preview panel, choose a device size to see how the exhibit will appear at that size. Select the Preview icon again, or close the panel, when finished.

View Content Checks and History

Use the icons in the upper-right corner of the exhibit edit page to review information about the exhibit:

• Select the glasses-shaped Checks icon to view content metrics and potential accessibility or content-structure issues.
• Select the circular-arrow History icon to review previous drafts, published versions, and recent changes.

Configure Search and Menu Settings

Use the Promote tab to control how the exhibit page appears in search results and whether it is included in automatically generated site menus.

Under For search engines, you can:

• Edit the Slug, which forms the final part of the page URL.
• Add a Title tag for the clickable page title shown in search engine results.
• Add a Meta description summarizing the page for search engines.

Under For site menus, select Show in menus to include a link to the page in automatically generated menus.

When you are finished, scroll to the bottom of the page and select Save draft. To publish the changes, expand the save menu and select Publish.

Control Exhibit Font and Colors

Select the Settings tab to change the exhibit's font family, font color, or background color.

When you are finished, select Save draft. To publish the changes, expand the save menu and select Publish.
