Managing your pages
Select the ‘Pages’ tab to start editing your site.
The WCM system has the concept of ‘deployments’, which is to say that a site (for example, American Studies) may have an internally focused site, an externally focused site, and more. If the site you’re editing has more than one deployment and you’re able to edit more than one of them, then you will be given the option to select which deployment’s set of pages to edit prior to being shown the page list. If you can only edit one deployment, or the site you’re editing only has one deployment, then you will be taken directly to the page list.
The list of pages will be displayed to you in a hierarchical format, showing the top-level pages and the pages that fall under them (child pages). By default all of the pages are collapsed so that you only see the top-level pages. This allows you to drill-down to the page you’re interested in without seeing all the other pages. If you’d like to expand all of the pages in one go then you can do so from the ‘collapse all’ and ‘expand all’ pages option at the top of the list.
For each page you have several options; view, edit, add sub pages, delete, check links, hide/show in navigation and change/set authentication. Some of the functionality is contained under the ‘more options’ link – click on that to see all the page options. If you’d like to expand all of the ‘more options’ links in one go, you can do that from the links show above. Note that not all pages have the same number of options.
The top-level pages are an exception, in that you cannot delete nor move them.
The page list looks something like:
