Functions and advantages of the Document Globe editing system

• Simple and intuitive user interface. A new website editor can usually be trained in about half an hour. Experience shows that after a short introduction, even people with almost no computer literacy can work with this system. That is why websites of cuni.cz are updated by dozens of users from different departments, often even by users who create the new content.
