Before using Typecase

Before you add a page or some new content to bath.ac.uk, think about whether the website is the best place for your content. For example, if you're trying to raise awareness about something or reach a particular group of people, it might be more effective to use social media or email.

If you don't already have access to Typecase, you must request training and complete two test exercises before you can use it.

If you only need access to update or create a few web pages as a one-off or rare occurrence, you should check if anyone in your team or department already has access and can help you instead. You can also contact web-support@bath.ac.uk and ask the Content team to add or update content for you.
