π§ Pages and Navigation
Pages are standalone documents such as About, and Navigation controls the extra links in the public site's header. This page will guide you through creating and publishing a page, choosing its address, and adding it to the header so readers can find it.
Pagesβ
"Pages" is for owners. It lists standalone pages such as About, each with its status ("Draft" or "Published"), its address under /page/ and when it was last updated. Use "Filter by titleβ¦" to find one.
Creating a pageβ
- Press "New page", or "New page" on an empty list. An About page is a good first one.
- Type a "Page title" in the title area.
- Set the "Address". It follows
/page/, and is made from the title unless you change it. Use lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. - Write the page in the editor, which works like the story editor.
- Choose "Draft" or "Published", then press "Create page", or "Save" when editing.
"Focus" hides everything but the writing area.
Publishing and changing a pageβ
A published page is visible at its address after the next site update. Switch it back to "Draft" to take it offline. Editing the address of a published page changes its public address, so update any links to it. This ensures readers do not land on a missing page.
The privacy policy is part of the site itself, not a page you edit here. To read it, visit swift-axis.com/page/privacy-policy.
Navigationβ
"Navigation" holds extra links in the public site's header, after the topics. Readers still see your topics if there are no extra links.
- Add a link: type a "Label", such as "Briefs", and an "Address", such as
/briefs, then press "Add". - See what is there: "In the header now" lists the links in order, each with its address.
- Remove a link: press the cross beside it.
To link to a page you created, use its address, for example /page/about. Links need a rebuild before they appear, like any other public change.
Briefsβ
The "Briefs" screen manages Briefs. It has its own guide: Briefs.
Best Practicesβ
- Use short labels: they sit in a header with limited room.
- Check the address on the site after the update: a typo in an address leads to a missing page.
