Managing site map and pages

May 31, 2024

Managing a site and its pages consist in two main activities : creating pages and managing navigation menus.

All operations on the pages can be done from the left panel. Some operations can be done also in the main workspace, when you are on a page.

Navigate between sites

  • If you are an accredited editor on several sites, you can use the site selector to switch from one site to another.

Navigate in pages (of the current site)

  • The sitemap or page tree of your site is displayed on the left under the name of the selected site. Each page is represented by an icon and it’s name.
  • You can open a page in the main part of the screen simply by clicking on its name in the menu.
  • Beware that a page can have multiple child (sub-pages) and that you can open or close the tree leafs by clicking on the white arrow before the page title.
