Editing Project:Observatory Users Manual (section)

==How to log in==
To begin using your User account:
 
# Open this URL: https://ed.observatory.wiki/Special:UserLogin
#* We recommend bookmarking the above page.
#* Make sure <code>ed.</code> is at the beginning of the URL (before <code>observatory.wiki</code>). This means you are on the Editorial version of the site (https://ed.observatory.wiki/) and not the Public version of the site (https://observatory.wiki/). You will know you’re on the Editorial version of the site when the header is green instead of blue.
#** The Editorial site is where you can access your User dashboard and resources, make or request any edits or proposed edits or simultaneous “edit together” collaboration, or request a new Article.
#** The Public site is where you can check how things look to Users who are not logged in.
#** You will need an editor or an administrator-level User to Publish any new content and then Push any new or updated content from the Editorial site to the Public site.
#** Content on the Editorial site is marked with colorful visual identifiers if it is not Published (purple) or not Pushed (magenta) yet, which is helpful for your editor/administrator.
# Log in with the credentials we have set up for you.
