Creating a new Web page on the Web site
Create a new Web page to add new content to the Web site.
Procedure
- On the Home tab of the ribbon toolbar, click New Page.
The Library panel opens on the left, showing a list of Page Types.
- Select the desired Page Type of the Page you want to create.
When you select a Page Type, a preview of a Page of this type appears in the content area.
- If you are happy with your selection, click Create to create a new Page of this type.
A new dialog opens.
- Fill in the following:
- Page Title
- The name of this Page in SDL Web. This name does not normally appear on the Web site.
- File Name
-
The file name of the Web page in its URL, without the file extension, for example,
mypage. Do not fill in any of the following characters here:< > \ / : " | ? * - Page Location
- The part of the URL before the filename, for example http://www.mysite.com/products/. To edit the Page Location, select Change and navigate to the location in which you want the new Page to appear.
- As part of the Page creation, Experience Manager may also create one or more new Components. It stores these Components in a configured location by default, but you can override that default by selecting Override default Component locations. Only select this button if you have a pressing reason to do so.
Selecting the button opens a dialog that shows a list of one or more Components, each with a Folder button on the right. Select one to slide the Library into view and navigate to a new Folder location for that Component. Select a location and click Select to confirm your choice. Repeat as needed.
You have now specified different locations than the default for one or more Components. Close the dialog to return to the Page creation dialog. - Click Create Page to create the new Web page.
The Web page is created and added to the Web site. You can already start editing the content of the Page while the Page is being added, but you cannot yet refresh the preview. When the new page is successfully added, you are told in a message at the top of the screen.
