Here's an outline of fields that can and can't be edited:
Content tab
PAGE TITLE: Don't edit the Page Title which is the office's name. This name is set up by Corporate and needs to be correct. Changing the name will have other consequences across the entire site. If you think it needs to be changed, please submit a support ticket with the details and our Corporate team will review the request.
FEATURED IMAGE: There must be a Featured Image for every office; this is the large Hero Photo that appears at the top of your office's home page. Even if you have a video, you still need to add a Featured Image, as this shows if the video doesn't load immediately.
HERO TEXT: Don't edit the Hero Text, this is set up by Corporate and needs to be consistent across all offices. Changing the name may have consequences for SEO. If you think it needs to be changed, please submit a support ticket with the details and our Corporate team will review the request.
