More functions of the administration
After the content functions, the book walks through the other administrator functions of the Setup area. Almost every one has a full guide today. This table is the map from the book's heading to the page to read.
| The book's heading | What it is | Read |
|---|---|---|
| Removing and restoring objects | A removed object goes to the Trash; from there it can be restored (back to where it was, or to another place) or removed for good. Emptying the trash needs its own permission (cleantrash). | The trash, Emptying the trash, Trash: who and where |
| URL translation | The addresses of content come from the object names. Global URL aliases give a module view an address of your choosing, and wildcards map a whole group. | Links, URL aliases, wildcards, Giving a page an extra address |
| URL management | The list of every link used in content, with a check of whether it works. | Finding and fixing broken links |
| RSS export and import | Publish a branch as a feed, or import a feed into content. | RSS feeds |
| Cache administration | Clear the caches by name after a change that does not show. | Caches, Which cache do I clear? |

What is new since the book
- Several administration designs, and a menu that differs by role (A tour of the administration).
- Content checks, API keys, two-factor sign-in and the audit pages, which have no equivalent in the book (Security and audit).
- The command line has most of what the pages have:
./console list(CLI scripts and console commands).
Next: planning an example site.
