SiteBuilder is the University's web publishing tool. You can use it to manage your site, your pages, and your content in a web browser, without any specialist programming knowledge or downloading any software.

A SiteBuilder website is as accessible as possible and follows the University's common website template.

• Current site – only visible if you have edit or admin permissions for your site's home page.
• Current page – edit the content, properties and permissions of the page you're currently on.
• Sub-pages – all sub-pages below the current page, with options to add, remove or edit.
• Files – a store of documents, images and other files uploaded to the current page.
• History – a list of previous versions of the page which you can view and restore.

Sign out of SiteBuilder

Remember to sign out of SiteBuilder or any other web application (e.g. Office 365, Moodle or Tabula) and your desktop when you finish editing. If you don't, you risk a situation where others can edit your web pages. It's best to sign out via the utility links at the top right of the page; closing the web browser may not be sufficient.

1. Select your name in the utility links at the top right of the page:
2. Select the Sign out button at the bottom of the MyWarwick panel:
3. You are now signed out and your name no longer appears in the utility links. The Sign in link appears instead:
