Editing Overview
Thank you for helping to make the Opus one of the most interactive and exciting resources for birders everywhere. If you're new to editing, please take some time to read through the help section on the right. Help is always one click away - there's a link to it in the sidebar to the right of every page.
If you're still stuck when editing, remember that any changes you make can easily be rolled back - it's nearly impossible to 'break' a page as it can always be easily reverted. If you still need a guiding hand, use the Opus discussion forum to ask for help.
Practice makes Perfect
You can make your first edit right now:
- Click here to add a new section to the sandbox page. The sandbox is where you can try out editing and experiment with formatting, uploading photos, etc. (If there are already sections on the page, you can also click on the appropriate "edit" link and edit someone else's text.)
- Type a subject line and some text.
- Please, remember that no profanity, libel, or personal attacks will be tolerated.
- Click Show preview to test your changes, or Save page when you're happy with the way it looks.
