Each page of this group is one job, in numbered steps, in the browser, without technical words. Every page also says what can go wrong and what to do then, and links to the full page for editors when you want more detail.
Tip
Practice on a test page first. Create an article in a folder nobody visits, change it, publish it, undo it, and remove it. Ten minutes of practice make the real job relaxed. Ask your administrator where you may practice.
