Overview

Create or update a location from the location finder. If you just need to remove a location, without replacing it, you should use the Delete a Location step-by-step.


Pre-requisite: This guide considers that the concerned location map is in place. For details about that, see the Locations Management page.

This operation needs to use the "Tridion Content Manager" instead of the better known "Site Edit".

The 1st container of this path (C1 Master-en) is named a "publication". For the next 2 (publishing), the publication to use it not the same than here for creating / updating.

If the concerned web site is not Solvay ONE, you should be able to adapt the path by yourself (e.g. "1 Internet Webfactory" instead of "1 ONE").
