Keyword Replacement Information shown
%screen_menu% This will show the list of screen the user can access for the asset in the Simple Edit Interface. If you have created different Simple Edit Layouts for each screen, then you need to include this keyword replacement so the user can navigate between them.
%commit_button% This will show the Commit button on the screen. This keyword replacement needs to be included otherwise the user will not be able to save their changes.
%commit_button_clean% This is the same as the %commit_button% keyword replacement but it will only show the button without any formatting.
%release_locks_button% This will show the Release Lock(s) button on the screen. This will allow the user to release the locks on the page once they have finished editing it.
