Beginner training is a fundamental piece to updating your department's pages.

Our Content Management System (CMS), Omni Update, makes it easy to update your pages. With a few clicks, you can make the changes you need and watch them go live on the university site! 

To get access to OmniUpdate for maintaining sites on the augusta.edu website, you must submit an access request and complete a training exercise to verify that you can perform all of the necessary tasks to maintain a website. This self-guided exercise typically takes less than an hour to complete. Training is not required if you will only be editing intranet content on MyAugusta.
