    There are three checkboxes at the bottom of the page:

    1. Publish (checked by default)
      • If left unchecked, the page will not be accessible to anyone not logged into the site. You can always locate this page in the Content Library and check the box to make it publicly available.
         
    2. Require login to view this content
      • If checked, this page will require UNI log in for users to access the content. Anyone with a UNI will be able to access this page once verified.

      • If checked, the Social Share buttons will not display on the page
