Pages overview

Every site is made of pages. A page is one address on your site, such as your home page, an about page or a contact page. The page list is where you create them, organize them and see what state they are in.

Open Pages from the top bar to get there. You can also press Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on a Mac) to open the command palette and jump straight to a page by name.

Read the page list

The list shows every page on the site with its title, its address and its status. You can switch how the list is displayed:

• Tree shows pages nested under their parents, so you can see the shape of the site.
• List shows a flat table, which is easier to scan when you have a lot of pages.
• Grid shows pages as cards.

The search box filters by title and address. On a site with more than a handful of pages this is usually faster than scrolling.

Understand page status

A page is either a draft or published.

A draft page exists in your account but nobody visiting your site can reach it. A published page is live and public. This applies to changes too: when you edit a published page, your edits are staged as a separate copy. The public version stays exactly as it was until you publish. Nothing you do in the editor appears on the live site by accident.

The page list shows whether a page is a draft or published. To see whether a published page has newer edits still waiting to go out, open it in the editor. The editor tells you when there are unpublished changes and gives you the option to publish them.

Create a page

Use the create option on the page list. You give the page a title and an address (the slug) and it is created as a draft. From there you open it in the visual editor and build it, then publish when it is ready.

If you want a page that is similar to one you already have, duplicate it instead. Duplicating copies the content and the settings into a new draft page with a new address, leaving the original untouched. It is usually faster than starting from an empty page.

Nest pages under a parent

Pages can sit under other pages. If you set a services page as the parent of a page called Roof Repair, the address becomes the parent address followed by the child slug. This keeps related pages grouped and makes the addresses read sensibly.

You set the parent in the page's settings. Changing a page's parent changes its address, so treat it the same way you would treat changing the slug. Add a redirect from the old address so existing links and search results still work.

Delete pages and use bulk actions

You can select several pages at once and act on them together, publishing or deleting a batch rather than one at a time.

Deleting a page removes it, and if it was published it stops being reachable on your site. Before deleting, check the Page Usage option on the page. It shows you where that page is referenced, including the navigation menus and other pages that link to it. Deleting a page that other pages link to leaves those links pointing at nothing, so it is worth a look first.

Deletion is not something you should assume you can undo casually. If you are unsure, unpublish the page instead: it disappears from your public site but the content stays in your account.
