Adding Pages
The Content Manager allows you to add a page to your site without having to call us for assistance. Although simple to do, there are a number of confusing options that this document attempts to explain.

To add a new page, click the Add button in the Control Panel (shown above).

Alternatively, you can add a new page by clicking the Add New Page link on the bottom of the Pages page, as shown above.

You will then be presented with the page above. Lets explore the most important options on the page:

• Page Name. The name of your page as it will display inside your menu/navigation system. Typically, brevity is important here.
• Page Title. The name of your page as it will display in the title bar of your browser window. This title is very important for search engine optimization.
• Description. A brief description of the content of the page. When a search engine indexes your site, it will typically display the description in its search results when those results include a link to the page.
• Keywords. A list of keywords, such as the terms users may type into a search engine when trying to find your site, in priority order (most important first), separated by commas.
• Parent Page. Your site is arranged in a hierarchy of pages, with one or more levels. This option specifies the page one level above in the hierarchy, if applicable.
• Include In Menu. When checked, the page will be displayed in your site's navigation bar. Uncheck to keep this page off your navbar (this is common for pages such as the search results page, which you get to indirectly by first entering a search term in the search box, if present on your site.
• Permissions. You may specify who can see and edit the new page. A few notes about permissions:
  • Administrators always have permission to view and edit the page.
  • Except for the administrator, nobody else will be able to see the page unless you check View for another role, such as All Users (which means everybody can see the page).
  • Be careful not to allow All Users or other non-secure roles to edit the page.

When you're finished, click the Update button to save your new page.

If you want to edit these options in the future, click the Settings button in the Control Panel (shown above). You'll be offered the same options as described above.

If you click the + sign to the left of the Advanced Settings label, you can specify a number of additional options for your page. The most important are explained here:

• Page Skin. The "Skin" is what controls the visual appearance of your site. You may have multiple skins available to you. This option allows you to change the skin for the selected page. Note that this option is typically left unchanged unless you have been told multiple skins exist for your site.
• Page Container. A "Container" is a skin for a module. Typically, containers are designed to match skins. Changing this option chooses the default container for all the modules on the page. Change this option only if you have been informed that you have multiple containers for your site.
• Disabled. Check this option to hide and completely disable this page for non-administrative users.
• Secure. [Option works only if your hosting package included the acquisition of an SSL certificate.] Check this option to make this page secure (it's URL will be preceded by "https://"). This option is useful for pages that gather private information from users.
• Start Date. Indicates the first day the page is visible on the site.
• End Date. Indicates the last day the page is visible on the site.
• Link Url. Allows you to treat this as a "virtual" page. Instead of a real page with content (the None option), you can choose to have the links to this page do a few other things:
  • URL. Links to a different website.
  • Page. Links to a different page on your website.
  • File. Links to a file in your website, such as a PDF document.

Copy Pages
If you need to make a new page on your site that is very similar to an existing page, use the Copy option.

 First navigate to the page that you wish to copy. Then, click the Copy icon in the Control Panel, as shown above.

As with any other new page, all the options described earlier in the document are available, as well, but the Copy Page section will contain additional options, as shown above. Note the list of modules and accompanying options. For each module, you may:

• Exclude it by clearing the checkbox to the left. (That module will not be transferred to the new page.)
• Make a New empty module with the same name as the module from the source page.
• Make a Copy of the module and its contents on the new page. Note that this copy is independent of the original, so you can edit one without affecting the other.
• Make a Reference to the module on the other page. This means that the module and its content will be copied to the new page, but linked to the source page. So, you if you edit the module, the edits will apply to all the linked copies, as well.

Delete Pages
When a page is no longer needed, it can be deleted.

To delete a page, first navigate to it. Then, click the Delete icon in the Control Panel, as shown above.

You will be presented with a confirmation dialog box, as shown above. Choose OK to delete the page, or Cancel to keep it.

The Recycle Bin
Did you delete a page by mistake? Use the Recycle Bin to recover it.

The Recycle Bin page is shown above; it contains two lists, pages and modules. To recover a deleted page, find it in the list of pages, then click the Recover button (gray with circular arrow) to the right of the list and your document will be brought back.
