6. Adding (and Updating) Petition Content

Usually, default petition content is added when initially setting up the Landing Page. However, if you chose not to include default content at the time of creation, or if you need to update the text later on, you can do so from the Landing Page's admin page. To get started go to the admin homepage > Pages > name of the Landing Page > Petition Content.

Once you've navigated to the Petition Content page, you can begin adding default content. 

If you do not want to provide any default text, leave all of the fields blank and click Save Effort. The Landing Page will then be ready to launch. 

If you choose to provide default content, the text you enter will be pre-filled into the new campaign form when a user goes to create a petition in the Landing Page. A couple of hints to keep in mind:

• If you want petition creators to follow a specific formula for the new petitions, you can include partial text and prompt the creators to add their specific information. For example, if you want them to include a location in the title, you could set the default title text to: "Raise the Minimum Wage: [Your Location]". You can also update the help text for the new petition form to provide additional encouragement.
• By default, petition creators will be able to edit the text you enter. If you want to prevent campaign leaders from editing the default text, click the lock icon next to the corresponding field.
• From this page, you can also decide if you want to display the signature progress bar on petition pages.

When you've finished adding default petition text, click Save Effort.

Next we'll look at the Landing Page's Petition List.
