4.2. Creating/editing a tome

To create a tome, go to the "My Tomes" page and click the "New Tome" button.

 

If you upload a logo, this will appear in the 'My Tomes' list, and also at the top of the page when users view the tome.

 

The tome title is optional. If set, this will show as the title of the tome in the 'My Tomes' list, and also at the top of the page when viewing the tome if there is no logo uploaded.

If there is no logo or title, the tome name (a required field) will show both in the 'My Tomes' listing and at the top of the page when viewing the tome.

The description is optional, and just gives a brief overview for you own reference. We may in future pull this into an 'about' page for each tome, or provide it as popup information, so don't put any sensitive internal information here.

4.2.1. Tome name limitations

Tome names must be between 4 and 100 characters long, and may contain only upper or lowercase letters, numbers, or dashes.

 

The name you choose will form the address for the tome, for example a tome named "userguide", has the address:

userguide.tome.host

 

Because the tome name is used in URLs, you should ensure that it is something that is broadly descriptive or relevant to the content.

 

You can change a tome name later, as long as the new name you want is not already taken. However, it is strongly advised NOT to do this once a tome is established, as existing links in search engines, forums and so on to your tome will no longer work. It makes sense to think carefully about your tome name and get it right first time.
