  • How does one update their image in their directory listing? To update your image in Directory, you can go to https://directory.unl.edu/myinfo. You can also get there by searching for yourself in Directory. As long as you are logged-in, there will be a little gear button that will take you to that link.
  • CMS Content: If something isn't working on your site, try "Flush all caches" (hover over Drupal icon in upper left). It will fix lots of small display issues before asking.
