Basic page overview information including page creation and modification dates and the last user to modify the page.

All previous page versions (draft and published) are available to review

View previous version

• changes made to the page - click (A) to view this page version
• who made the changes

Revert to previous version

You can also revert to a previous versions of the page (B).

Change the template that is used to display the content of the page. If the templates contain the same content elements then the content will be visible. Any content that doesn't have elements will not display that content but the content is not deleted. If the template is changed back to the previous version the the content will become visible again.

A template is a page design containing layout, editable and non editable content, and special features and functionality.

Every page uses a template. Some templates are used by many pages, some are only used by one page (ie: the Home page).

Change how the page appears in site navigation and move the page to another section of the website.

Basic

Visible in navigation

Choose whether the current page is visible in any in-page navigation used in the currently selected template and thus visible to website visitors.

Visible in CMS navigation

Choose whether the current page is visible in any in-page navigation used in the currently selected template and thus visible to CMS users.

Advanced

Parent page

Move the current page to be the child of a new parent page. Moving a page will also move all the pages that are children of that page.

Default or initial URL

The first time a new page is saved the URL is created with the new page title. The URl format is set by the Child page settings for URLs or from the postion of the page in the site page structure. For example a new news story might have a default URL of: www.domain.com/news/news-story-title

Primary URLs

The Primary URL is the one used by the page.

• Click on a row (A) to make it the primary URL for the page.
• Changes are automatically saved.

Add URLs

Secondary or vanity URLs can be added that will also redirect to the primary URL.

• Enter the new URL (C). Type as normal with spaces, the CMS will insert hypens between words and strip out erroneous characters.
• Hit your return key to finish.
• URLs previously used for the page are automatically saved and redirect to the primary URL.
• Delete a URL with the icon (B). Try not to delete URLs that may have external links to the page.

Adding a URL that is already used will show a window explaining where the URL is used.

Read carefully before continuing!

Additional meta data for the page can be entered here. This is used by some search engines when filtering searches (but not Google!)

Basic

Description

By default the CMS uses the page standfirst (principle paragraph) as the meta description. This is better for SEO, especially with Google.

Keywords

Additional keywords can be added. Use specific keywords that add value to search results for the page.

Advanced

Allow indexing by search engines

Block search engine spiders from the page

Show in site search results

Hide the page from the internal site search results

Tags are used to organise and surface relevant content across your website. Tags can be useful in blog posts, calendar entires, news and press releases to name a few.

Tags are managed in groups which are used functionally within a template/page. Individual use cases will be different.

• Free tags - may be used as part of functionality
• Grouped tags - these are configured where special tag/page relationships are required.

Managing tags

(A) Click to use and existing tag for this page

(B) Click to remove existing tag from the page

(C) Enter new tag name in a group and hit return key

(D) Enter a new tag group name and hit return key. Then add tags for this new group.

Relationships are used to define connections between pages and are used when functionality is built into a template. For example a member of staff's profile might be related to a page of content as the author or contact by adding a relationship to the person profile page in the content page.

When you add a related page the page is chosen from the list of pages in your website. Delete a relationship using the trash icon (A)

NB: not all templates will use this functionality

The term child pages refers to a group of pages that are beneath the same parent page.

Basic

(A) Default child template

A new child page of this page will use this template.

(B) Child ordering policy

Sets the display order for child pages of this page, (C) sets ascending or descending within the chosen order

• Alphabetic by title - uses the page title (a-z, z-a)
• Date by visible time - uses the date set by page visibility (date descending, date ascending)
• Manual - ordering can be set by drag and drop from the list using the Re-order button (D).

You must Save your changes for them to take affect.

The term child pages refers to a group of pages that are beneath the same parent page.

Advanced

(E) Child visible in navigation

Hide the child pages from an in page navigation layout (where configured in a template) for website visitor views.

(F) Child visible in CMS navigation

Hide the child pages from an in page navigation layout (where configured in a template) for CMS user views.

(G) Default child URI prefix

Set the URL format for pages created as children of this page. This is useful when you want to shorten the URLs for a certain type of page, ie: news stories - when the news section is at www.domain.com/section-1/section-2/news/news-story-title then, by setting a short URL as /news/ all news stories can have the URL www.domain.com/news/news-story-title by default.

(H) Default grandchild template

Set the template for any children of the children of the current page (!) This is useful when creating sections that will have levels of content created by users with reduced CMS permissions.

You must Save your changes for them to take affect.

Useful for 'super admin' or more experienced users especially during site set up or a reorganising exercise.

Internal name

This can have a functional use so only change it if you are aware of its status.

Prevent this page from being deleted

Only users with Admin permissions will be able to delete the page. Useful for preventing mishaps.

Add page button behaviour

These settings are useful in ensuring that behaviour is consistent in site sections and can help limited the creation of pages in the wrong parts of the website.

What should the 'add page' button do on this page?

• Inherit - will behave the same as the settings for the parent of this page
• Add a child page - will add a child page to this page
• Add a sibling - will add a sibling page to this page (so at the same level)

What should the 'add page' button do on the children of this page?

• Inherit - will behave the same as the settings for the current page
• Add a child page - will add a grandchild page to the child page
• Add a sibling - will add a sibling page to the child page (so at the same level as the child page)

Useful when configuring an environment where you have logged in users who are not CMS editors or you want to make a page, or group of pages, accessible to only a certain group of people.

Permission to access the page/s is based upon a group or groups of users set up in the People manager:

• If no groups are specified then the page will be visible to all logged in users (usually CMS users)
• If groups are specified then the page will only be visible to members of those groups
• The page creator and page managers can also see the page

You can:

• Restrict access to a page to certain user groups only
• Restriction is automatically applied to all descendent (or child) pages
• This setting take precedence over the ability to edit a page in the CMS because you must be able to view to edit. This means only authorised editors can see content.

Check out the release notes

The feature image is shown where a link to a page is set for signposting or cross-linking journeys through the website.

The size and ratio that the feature image is displayed is dependent on the design of the template in which it is being used.

The feature image will crop to fill the available slot and will resize and/or re-crop for display on different size screens and devices.

You can make the page live or set a date and time at which the page will become live.

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 invisible or visible

An embargo date and time for publication can also be set. Click on the date (A)

(B) Visible until

Page status

Draft pages and published pages explained

• 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.

• 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.

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

Don't redirect

• If the URL is used 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

Delete at your peril

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

NB: Not all users have permission to delete pages.
