~~~

Run `jekyll` commands through Bundler to ensure you're using the right versions:

~~~bash

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

~~~

## Editing

Hydra is already optimised for adding, updating and removing pages, staff, advice, company details and footer elements in CloudCannon.

### Posts

* Add, update or remove a post in the *Posts* collection.

* The **Staff Author** field links to members in the **Staff** collection.

* Documentation pages are organised in the navigation by category, with URLs based on the path inside the `_docs` folder.

* Change the defaults when new posts are created in `_posts/_defaults.md`.

### Contact Form

* Preconfigured to work with CloudCannon, but easily changed to another provider (e.g. [FormSpree](https://formspree.io/)).

* Sends email to the address listed in company details.

### Staff

* Reused around the site to save multiple editing locations.

* Add `excluded_in_search: true` to any documentation page's front matter to exclude that page in the search results.

### Navigation

* Exposed as a data file to give clients better access.

* Set in the *Data* / *Navigation* section.

### Footer

* Exposed as a data file to give clients better access.

* Set in the *Data* / *Footer* section.
