Lag. The number of seconds which must pass before a user may submit another vote in this Poll.
Published. Whether or nor the Poll has been published.
Option 1 - Option 12. Enter up to 12 Options for the user to choose among.

Toolbar

At the top right you will see the toolbar:

The functions are:

Preview. Opens a popup window that displays a preview of the Article. This is normally not needed when using a WYSIWYG editor, such as TinyMCE. However, if you are using a plain text editor (for example, the 'No Editor' option), this preview lets you see what the Article will look like when shown on the web site.

Save. Save it and return to editing the menu details.

Apply. Save it, but stay in the same screen. If you have been working on a screen for a long time and don't want to risk losing your work, pressing Apply saves your work and lets you continue working. If, for example, you lost your Internet connection, your work will be saved up this point.

Cancel. Go back to the main screen of the Manager, without saving the modifications you made.

Help. Opens this Help Screen.
