Accessing the Editor

The editor is accessible in three different ways:

  • Users can access the Editor from the user dashboard of the EL-CID Online dashboard. The link to editor is in the upper right hand corner of the dashboard.
  • The editor will be accessible from the web. Click on this link to the Editor page.
  • If an SSRF or .cid file has already been attached to a certification request, users can open that file in editor by clicking on the pencil icon next to the document in Explorer.
