  • Features of page editing

    Page editing options and status are available through the menu bar.

  • Add a new page

    A new page will be added either as a child of the current page or as a sibling of the current page. This will depend upon the type of content of page and the option can be edited in the page settings-admin.

  • Page settings

    Change settings for the page being viewed.

    More about page settings.

  • Page visibility

    By default a newly created page is ‘invisible’, meaning it is not viewable by site visitors in the live website.

    The toolbar icon shows the page is:

    invisiblepng invisible

    visiblepng visible

    More about visibility

  • Page status

    Draft pages and published pages explained

    published.png

    • A visible page has a published version - this is the version seen on the live site.
    • A published page will not be seen in the live site unless it is also visible.

    draft.png

    • If the live page is edited a draft version is created that is only visible to CMS editors.
    • This version of the page remains as a draft until it is published at which time it replaces the live page.

    • Changes to a draft page can be set to publish at a future date and time rather than be published immediately.
    • The live version of the page remains until the draft is published at the set date and time.
  • Page delete

    The URL that the page uses can be redirected after the page is deleted. Options are:

    • Don't redirect - if the URL is iused the viewer will get a 404 page not found error page
    • Redirect - choose a page from the site page tree for this URL to redirect to

    BEWARE! - when the delete button is clicked the page is deleted immediately.

    Not all users have permission to delete pages.

  • View live

    The page is finished, you've published it, check what it looks like in live view.

    view-live.png

    • View live only shows page versions which are published and visible. It’s how the site appears to website users.
  • Contact support

    Use the support form to provide feedback or notify your support team of any issues with the webpage.

    To assist with diagnosis details of the current page along with browser and operating environment are sent to a pre-set email address with the your message.

    The support email address is set in the CMS Admin settings.
