Adding your page to the navigation is one of the most important steps in creating a new page. After creating a page, your next step should be to decide where this content will live in the navigation so users can find it.
Important Reminder
Please remember that all pages on your website must have a place in your navigation. This is important to avoid wayfinding issues and help your users understand how different pages relate to one another.
Do not use the Main Navigation Menu link in the black toolbar at the top of the screen to nest pages. Instead, follow the steps below.
To place the page within the navigation on your site, use the Menu Settings dropdown on the right-hand side of your screen when editing the page.
- Select "Provide a menu link" and give the page a link title. This will be the title for your page that displays in the navigation. The link title should match the page title.
- Choose a Parent link*, or the section your new page will live under on the website, from the drop-down menu.
- Assign the page a weight. This determines what order you’d like the page to appear in the navigation or drop-down menu. Pages with a lower weight will be listed at the top of pages with a higher weight.
- You can also adjust what order pages appear in after the page has been added to the navigation. Learn how to update the order of pages in the navigation.
- Ensure the "Generate automatic URL alias" under the URL Alias dropdown on the right-hand side of your screen has been checked on. If this option is checked off, the system won't generate the alias based on where the page lives.
- Save your page.
*Parent pages are pages that host pages underneath them. A parent page can have multiple child pages. For example, the main pages of your navigation are considered “parent” pages, while the “child” pages are those displayed in the drop-down menu.
