  2. Click XSite on the menu at the top.
  3. Select My Content in the navigation on the left.
  4. Now, in the list of the pages in your site (on the right) any page where GhostWriter is available will be denoted with an icon (shown below.)
    Custom Content Generator icon
  5. Click on the name of any of page marked with this icon to open the Content Editor.
  6. In the Content Editor, you'll see the name of the current template in the drop-down box. Next to that you'll find the ReWrite Page button.

    Click ReWrite Page to create a new variation on the selected template. Keep in mind that this is a variation on the prewritten content; anything you have typed since you last saved will be changed when you click this button.
  7. Now, you'll see the results of the rewriting in the Content Editor. If you like, you can click ReWrite Page again to see another version of the content.
  8. When you're happy with your results, scroll to the bottom and click Save and Close.
