In the backend system, there are a few options and tasks that are common for multiple modules. For example, how to upload an image to a content-grouped (journal), content-labeled (newsletter), or an event. Another example of a common task is – how to use the text editor for basic text formatting. Also, some options are globally available, anytime.

Using the Text Editor
Almost all text content used as “body” text is added using a “wysiwyg” text editor. (What You See Is What You Get). The editor’s panel looks like most editors panels in major text editor applications.
In Description, use the text editor options to set up the right structure for the journal details. For example, as below.
Confirmation Messages for Delete Action
When you delete any information type such as a journal, event, a member, or a destination, the backend system asks you to confirm if you want to delete it.
