Application managers and main editors: Before you can create and use page sections, you must perform the steps described in the topic Configuring Page Sections.
The Page Section widget is used to create and manage the page sections for your website. The arrangement of pages in the Page Section widget (parent and child pages) helps you to arrange and categorize page sections which is especially useful when your website contains dozens of them. In the Page Section widget, you can create, duplicate, move, and delete pages and their child pages. New page sections can also be created using the Create Content Widget.

Creating a Page Section
All new pages that you create using the Site Structure Widget are child pages of the "Home" page. The "Home" page is at the highest level of the tree and is the only page at that level. To create a new page for your site, follow these steps:
- In the navigation tree in the Site Structure Widget, right-click the page underneath which you want to create the new page.
- Select "New" from the Context menu:
The new page will appear as a child page underneath the page that you right-clicked, By default, the name of the new page is "New Page" and its workflow state is "Planned". Select the new page in the site structure to add content to it. Use the Editor to add content to the new page. Use the Properties Widget or the Actions Menu in the Editor to modify the properties of the new page.

(italic text) | The page is in an unpublished state and may be edited. |
You do not have permission to edit this page. | |
The page is not visible in the front-end site navigation. | |

Language Versions
