Manage pages in the website builder

The Pages panel in the ConvertSite site editor creates, renames, and organizes every page of your Site app. From it you add standard pages and CMS pages, control which pages are live or draft, set your homepage, and delete pages you no longer need.

Open the Pages panel and filter pages

The Pages panel is available only for Site apps. Open it from the site editor, where it sits in the secondary panel group alongside Blocks and Style.

Use the Filter pages search field to find a page; it matches both the page title and its path. In the list, CMS pages show a database icon and draft pages carry a Draft badge.

Add a page

Add Page has two modes: Page for a regular page, and CMS Page for a page that displays records from a linked table.

Add a regular Page

1. In the Pages panel, open Add Page.

2. Enter a Name, such as Price Quote Page, and a Path, such as /price-quote.

3. Click Add page.

If you leave the name empty, the path is used as the page title.

Add a CMS Page

1. In the Pages panel, open Add Page and switch to the CMS Page mode.

2. Enter a Name and a Path prefix, then choose the Table the page reads from.

3. Select the Column and Reference. These fields appear only after you pick a table, and only columns of the String and Slug types are offered.

4. Click Add page.

A table-backed page automatically gets a /:value segment appended to its path — the example path /blog becomes /blog/:value. CMS pages append this segment to match individual records from the linked table.

Manage a page from its context menu

Right-click a page in the Pages panel to open its context menu, then choose one of these actions:

• Settings — open the Page Settings dialog to edit the page.

• Make live — shown for draft pages, publishes the page as live.

• Make draft — shown for live pages, takes the page offline as a draft.

• Duplicate — copy the page.

• Delete — remove the page.

• Set as homepage — mark this page as your homepage. Available for regular pages only, not CMS pages.

Your current homepage is the page whose path is /.

Edit a page in Settings

Use the Page Settings dialog to change the page's name, its path or path prefix, and — for CMS pages — its linked table, column, and reference. Confirm your changes with Save or close the dialog with Cancel.

The fields depend on the page type: a regular page edits Path, while a table-backed page edits its Path prefix and its Table, Column, and Reference.

Page rules and errors

• Duplicate paths are rejected with the error "Page path already exists", both when adding and when updating a page.

• The homepage path cannot be changed away from /. The update is blocked with "Cannot change the homepage path. Use 'Set as homepage' on another page instead." Move the homepage by setting another page as the homepage.

• Table-backed pages cannot contain path parameters. Adding one to a CMS page is rejected with "Table-backed pages cannot have path parameters".

• The last remaining page cannot be deleted. Deleting it is blocked with "Cannot delete the home page."
