Finding the appropriate keyword to edit copy

Based on the above, to find 2entryClosedDate in the Translation section, you must go to the phases categories to edit the date.

Also, a category name usually reflects a name in the URL.

For example: mydomain.projects.fm/gallery.

Copy should be found in Categories: gallery for the gallery page.

  1. In Media Factory, from the drop-down list in the left-hand corner under the Media Factory logo, select a project.
  2. In the Navigation bar, select Applications>Applications.
  3. On the Applications page, select an application.
