To edit an Article Type select one from the pulldown menu and change the desired fields. In either case, when you are done just click on the Save Article Type icon and your changes will be saved in the Cofax system.

Required Fields

  • In the Primary Section drop down choose the section in which the columnist will be primarily displayed.
