¶ Overview of the Process
New pages can be created and published in 2 steps:
1. Create a new page - The new page needs to be created. The new page however will not be accessible from the Navigation pane.
2. Create an access point in the Navigation bar and link the created new page to it. - A Navigation page item needs to be created as this will allow users to find and navigate to the new page
¶ Create a New Page
▸ Select New Page from the top right corner icons
▸ Select new page location
Select folder and path name for the new page.
▸ New folders can be created by specifying the folder name followed by / E.g. New_folder/New_page_name will create the folder as well
▸ Don't use white-spaces when defining the path
▸ Content producers have multiple page editing options:
▸ Visual editor (Rich text editor)
▸ Markdown editor
▸ HTML editor
▸ Visual editor is the simplest to use option (What You See Is What You Get)
▸ There are slight differences between the editor capabilities though. These are mostly differences in text styling options. Visual editor has a good range of text styling options.
▸ Video embedding is only available on HTML pages at the moment. The workaround is to create the page by Visual editor and then convert it to HTML and add the embedded videos then.
▸ Currently there are no options to change the text color.
▸ Add properties of the new page
Add page title and optionally a short description and tags.
Page title is displayed on the page and can contain white-space characters.
When all set, the page editor appears and you can add the page content to the site.
Please refer to the Styling Guidelines page for more information about content styling.
Media files can be also embedded on the page. (See Media handling)
When editing is ready, save the page at the top right corner of the page.
¶ Add the New Page to the Navigation Pane
