Use the Next and Previous buttons to move the orange editing selector around the Actors. You can also add, remove, or move Button Actors or Link Actors around using the Cut and Insert buttons. Button Actors can do things like open a Youtube video, play audio streams, and read or edit the message banner. Link Actors are used to open new web pages.
Make changes to Actors by editing the text fields, or selecting actions for Button Actors from the dropdown menu, and then use the Apply Actor Changes button to update the selected button.
Don't forget to edit the page title, banner (if you want one,) and page name (which I usually make the html filename.) Use the Apply Page Changes to update the page. There is also an option to enter a "note" which is read out loud on page open. The text for the note, however, is not visible.
After making changes to any page you intend to update or save as new be sure to click the "Prep for new/updated page" button. The Prep for new/updated page button assures that the YouTube option will work properly when the saved page loads. Then use the browser's "Developer tools" to copy the "OuterHTML" of the main "html.." tag and paste it into a text editor. Save the result from the text editor as an html document. Be sure to place the new html file properly in the directory structure so any references to css, js, or image resources are correctly related. Improperly located html files or resources cause the page to look bad, have images missing, or lack expected behavior.
Don't be tempted to click on Actors while you are editing. If you navigate away from the page any changes will be lost!

AWP - Some Special Page Types
In addition to the standard templates I offer some special purpose pages:
1. Spinner pages have a random selection method that make them useful for games. Click the "Candyland" button to try one out. Use the Alt-r key combo to toggle through the spin modes. Use the left arrow key to initiate a "spin," or click the spin button.
2. Click the "Treasure Island" button to see an example of an audio book page. The audio book pages play selections from public domain audio books at Librivox.com. The "Audio Book Library" button has more books.
3. Universal Core pages are based on a 36 core word vocabulary. These pages use a fixed grid with 6 rows and 7 columns. Row-column scanning is supported using arrow keys and the enter key. Switch scanning is also supported for single switch and 2-switch scanners. Click the 'About Universal Core" button to learn more and try the Universal Core pages.
