How to Accomplish This Task Start by going to the page you want to edit, and begin editing the page (you will obviously have to have rights to do this). Add a Web Part to your page (you should already be in a mode like below). Choose the “Media and Content” Category, “Content Editor” Web Part, and add it to any part of the page (such as the “Header”). Select the web part and choose “Edit Web Part” from the drop down. A menu will appear on the top right hand side of the page, you may need to scroll over/up to find it. Set the Title to “Refresh the Web Page”. Set the Chrome Type to “None”.
