Here are step-by-step instructions based on your transcript for editing pages in Chainformation, especially when fixing formatting issues from a Word document upload:

🛠 How to Edit Pages in Chainformation

✅ When to Edit vs. Re-upload

  • Edit within Chainformation if only a few pages (e.g. 5-6) need adjustments.
  • Re-upload and fix the Word document if the formatting issue is systemic throughout the manual.

🔎 Identify the Problem

  1. Review the Table of Contents.
  • Go to your uploaded manual.
  • Browse through pages to identify any page with too little or incorrect content.
  1. Compare Adjacent Pages.
  • If one page seems incomplete, check the next one—sometimes content that should be together is split across two pages.
  1. Understand the Source Issue.
  • Go back to the original Word document and inspect the formatting:
    • Chainformation uses H3 headings to split pages.
    • If a heading (H3) is placed before a small section, it may become its own short page.

✏️ Fixing Pages in Chainformation

1. Merge Two Pages

If content is split across two pages but should be together:

A. Copy content from the second page

  • Click the page.
  • Use the HTML editor to select and copy the content (Ctrl+C or ⌘+C).
  • Discard changes (you’re just copying, not editing yet).

B. Edit the first page

  • Open the first page (e.g. “Estimating Costs”).
  • Click Edit.
  • Paste the copied content at the end using the HTML editor.
  • Adjust formatting if necessary.
  • Save the page.

2. Delete the Redundant Page

Once merged:

  • Go to the Pages section.
  • Locate the now-redundant second page.
  • Open and Delete it.

🔄 Don’t worry—Chainformation auto-updates numbering in the table of contents!

3. Restore Mistakenly Deleted Pages

If you accidentally deleted the wrong page:

  • Go to Pages > Filters > Trash.
  • Select the deleted page.
  • Click Restore.

It will be added back with correct numbering.

4. Permanently Delete Unneeded Pages

Once you’re confident a page is no longer needed:

  • In the Trash section, delete it permanently to keep things clean.

🧹 Pro Tips

  • Double-check heading styles in Word before uploading to avoid broken pages.
  • You can change H3 headings to Normal text to avoid unwanted splits.
  • HTML editor allows basic formatting and pasting from other pages.
  • Restoring pages from the trash is a great safety net—no irreversible damage!
