Once you create a guide, it's important to check on it periodically to make sure everything is current and accurate. Here are some tips to keep your guide content fresh.

• Run a link check on your guides twice a year and fix any broken links.
• Each time a course is offered, allow the instructor to review the guide and suggest changes. Review the guide yourself and add/change content as relevant.
• When new databases/resources become available, consider linking them to your relevant guides.

When identical material is called for in multiple guides at the box or page level, consider re-using entire boxes or pages.

Also consider reusing content and links from your colleagues' guides. Look for up-to-date, properly formatted, and accessible content to reuse.

Check your guide both in preview mode and on the live web on multiple devices with different screen sizes to ensure that your guide functions well and important content is still on top.

Shrinking and expanding your browser window can show a similar effect of how your guide will appear on a smaller or narrower screen.

At the end of a semester, change the status of course guides to private. 

A private guide is preferable to an unpublished guide because anyone with the guide URL will still have access to it. When the course is offered again, you can easily change the publication status back to published.

If you have an obsolete course guide, subject guide, or web page that you no longer want to be part of the public website, change the status to unpublished.
