There are several choices for creating a new sample page on which to try techniques shown in tutorials .
You can use either the Touch-Optimized UI or the Classic UI with the Geometrixx Media sample site.
For other options, see Other Sample Pages below.
On the Sample Page, you should have a parsys component so that you can enable components for
authoring. Presently this requires using Classic UI to do so.
NOTE
These instructions use the Title Sample Page as an example (which defaults the Name of the
node to sample-page if not specified).
Tutorial instructions may suggest another Title - simply substitute the Title from the tutorial for the
Title in the instructions below.
Using Touch-Optimized UI
If not familiar with the Touch-Optimized UI, visit the Basic Handling page.
On the author landing page, http://localhost:4502/, select the Sites console from the Rail.
Select the desired site, for example 'Geometrixx Media' and then 'English'
