Episerver Help Documentation - School Websites
These documents provide the basics of using the Episerver Content Management System (CMS). Unless you are an authorized user of Episerver, you will not be able to edit pages on sites in the CMS.
Understanding Your Homepage
This page explains how the standard school homepage layout works within the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) system. It serves as a guide for webmasters, outlining which sections are automated and which are manually editable. It also includes links to step-by-step instructions for assessing and updating each section of the page.
Please Note: We do not recommend using a Chromebook to edit your website because the On-Page Edit feature is not supported by Episerver for Chromebooks.
