Edit content within Legacy My UIndy

Updated on

Legacy My UIndy is the previous version of UIndy's portal, My UIndy. During a transition period to the new My UIndy, starting in July 2026, both the new and old My UIndy sites will be available. 

If you need to edit content in Legacy My UIndy but haven't ever done so, please let us know by submitting a UIndy Works request. After access has been granted, you will be able to edit Legacy My UIndy content with the web editor tool Divi. For instructions on how to navigate through Divi, please see below.

First, determine if the content you want to edit is stored in Google Drive or Legacy My UIndy.

Some My UIndy content is stored in Google Drive and other content is stored directly in Legacy My UIndy pages. If you do not know whether your content is directly in Legacy My UIndy or in Drive, use the following information to determine that.

Legacy My UIndy Content

Legacy My UIndy pages you are able to edit through the Divi content management system will have a web address starting with legacy-my.uindy.edu (e.g. legacy-my.uindy.edu/registrar).

Google Drive pages will have a web address starting with drive.google.com.

Second, select the editing tool for your content type

Select the correct editing tool for the type of content you have: Legacy My UIndy page content or Google Drive content.

Edit My UIndy Content Stored in Google Drive

There are two ways to update My UIndy content stored in Google Drive:

  • Google-native documents, like Google Sheets and Google Docs, can be edited directly within Google Drive and those updates will be shown immediately within My UIndy.
  • PDFs, Word Docs (.docx), and other non-Google-native formats will need to be updated via Manage Versions to maintain their link to My UIndy. See Update with Manage Versions for instructions.
