Page Management

This guide explains how to create, modify, save, and publish pages within the CMS.

Creating a New Page

To create a new page, follow these steps:

1. Click the apps menu button (grid icon) in the top-left corner.
2. Select "Website" from the apps menu.
3. In the Website section, locate the "Pages" section.
4. Click the "New Page" button in the top-right of the Pages section.
5. Fill in the required details in the form:
   • Page Name: The internal name for the page.
   • Page Title: The title that appears in the browser tab (SEO).
   • URL: The URL path for the page (e.g., /about-us). The system automatically generates a URL based on the name, but you can customize it.
   • Parent Page: Select a parent page if you want to nest this page (e.g., /services/consulting).
6. Click "Save".

The system will check if the URL is available. If successful, the new page will be created as a Draft and you will be redirected to the editor.

Editing a Page

To edit an existing page:

1. Navigate to the Website section (via the apps menu).
2. In the Pages section, you'll see a table listing all your pages.
3. Click on the page name in the table to open it in the visual editor.

Once a page is open, you can edit its content using the visual builder.

Adding Blocks

Pages are composed of Blocks. To add a block:

1. Click the "+" button in the editor canvas.
2. Select a block type from the library.
3. The block will appear on the page, ready for customization.

Modifying Content

Click on any text, image, or element within a block to edit it directly. The sidebar provides additional options for styling and configuration.

Saving and Publishing

The CMS distinguishes between Draft and Published states.

Saving a Draft

Changes are often autosaved, but you can manually save a draft by clicking the "Save" button. This updates the Draft version of the page in the database without affecting the live site.

Publishing

To make your changes live:

1. Click the "Publish" button.
2. The system will:
   • Promote the current Draft content to the live version.
   • Regenerate the static HTML for the page.
   • Update the navigation and sitemap if necessary.

Note: Publishing triggers a site generation process which may take a few moments.

Page Settings

To access page settings (including deleting a page):

1. Navigate to the Website section.
2. In the Pages table, find the page you want to manage.
3. Click the settings icon (⚙️) next to the page name.
4. In the page settings dialog, you can modify page details, SEO settings, and other options.
5. To delete a page, click the "Delete" button in the page settings dialog and confirm the action.

If the page was only a draft, it is removed immediately. If it was published, the live version is marked as deleted or removed from the public site.
