I want to change something that I have already published on Rhiz.eu

When logged on, you can make changes to your contributions at any time by clicking ‘Edit this page’ at the top of the screen. Click on the field where you want to change text or images.

I just linked the wrong image! How do I remove it from the page?

In Edit mode, put your mouse over the image’s caption and an ‘X’ will appear - click this ‘X’ and then click ‘Yes’ to remove.

Please note: This will only remove the connection of the image to the page, which means that the image will still be in the system. To completely delete the image from the system, see below.

What's the difference between 'known person' and 'friend'?

You can give more editing rights on your contributions to people in your contact list who are marked as your 'friends'.

For instance, if you create a profile for your organisation, but want other people whom you work with to be able to edit that page as well, you should:

1. Add those people to your contact list and mark them as 'friends'.

2. Choose the option for your 'friends' to be able to edit your organisation's page:
- Go to the organisation's page and click 'Edit this page' at the top of the screen.
- Click 'Permissions' and change the options for 'Who can edit this page' to 'Friends'.

How do I delete stuff?

At the top grey bar, click ‘Your contributions’ and a list of all your contributions to Rhiz.eu will appear. Click the ‘Delete’ button next to any of the things listed there to delete them from the system.

I changed my mind! I don’t want to be a part of Rhiz.eu any more.

I have a different question.
