When you first switch to the design view, the general settings section is the one that is open. This is where the values provided during collection creation can be modified.

At the top of the page is an instruction box, which appears for each of the different sections. The brief list of instructions it contains is intended as a reminder of what functionality is available. The box can be scrolled using the scrollbar at the right edge, but is not itself editable.

The first two fields below the instructions give the contact email of the collection's creator and maintainer, and must be valid email addresses. The next two controls are checkboxes. The next and last text boxes show details from the 'new collection' prompt, and can be modified if necessary. The remaining control allows you to specify the URL path to the image that will be used as the icon for your collection from the Greenstone server's home page.

The labels beside the text boxes (which most likely say 'English') show the language of the currently displayed values. Here, in conjunction with the Languages section, you can specify such things as the collection's title in several different languages. However, this is more easily done through the Translate prompt found in the Languages section.
