The instructions below will provide a guide to (1) perform editing in the CCGA site, and (2) set up and configure the features built into the site to streamline the editing process. The basic process for monitoring and approving changes will utilize two main functions:

'''Revision Tracking'''

~~The revision tracking~~ feature ~~will prevent~~ author edits from moving to the live version of ~~pages~~ until the ~~associate editor~~ has approved the changes.

This feature prevents author edits from moving to the live ("stable") version of a page until the Associate Editor has approved the changes (Note: the pending revised version is visible to anyone as a separate tab from the stable version).

'''Watchlist'''

The watchlist is a list of pages chosen by the editor which will help keep the editor notified of page changes~~, and will~~ provide a single webpage where the editor can view all pending changes. ~~For~~ initial setup and configuration of the ~~watch, see the appendix below~~.

The watchlist is a list of pages chosen by the editor which will help keep the editor notified of page changes as well as provide a single webpage where the editor can view all pending changes. There is an initial setup and configuration of the watchlist required.

====Essential steps:====

*Log in! You ~~can not~~ see your watchlist if you are not logged in.

*Log in! You cannot see your watchlist if you are not logged in.

*Create your watchlist. A new user will not have any pages on their watchlist initially. You will need to add the desired pages to your watchlist. See the appendix below.

*Make sure your watchlist filter isn’t removing pages! For instance, in this example any changes older than 1 day would not appear in the watch list.
