The link is found at the bottom of the Articles menu tab. This pops up a window which will allow you to search by article id or article filename, simply make the required changes to the Article title, description, keywords or filename or select from the available listings of Categories and template or to change the article status from Temp (Draft) to live.

New Module. Online product display with pre-populated email content, popup large size image in a fully templated window with simple click to close on the popup window. Intergrates the upload and input of data into the CMS data storage system.
The Module can be customised to display any product type. Multiple products type are a simple matter to add as an additional product module - this could for example be used to display Used Parts or for a separate listing of items such as 4 wheel drive vehicles.
See example
here where the module is running as a "Used Car" Listing.

Extensive work on trapping web based hijacking attempts. ProActive users will see a drop in the number of "hijack" requests in their statistics. Our testing indicates that we are capturing 90+% of these instances. Some sites we have been running tests on indicate that up to 40% of the total page requests have been server hijack attempts. The trapping of these will bring about a decline in your daily statistics.
