Add New Content

To add a new page of content or a separator, link or section header for the menu, navigate to Content » Pages and then, right at the bottom left of the screen, click on Add New Content...

This will take you to Content » Pages » Edit Page: Add New Content, where you find two tabs, Main and Options.

Main

1. Start by selecting the content type of the page. For a normal page you just use the default, which is Content.
2. Then you select the title for the page. The menu text can be different and is what will be shown in the menu.
3. If the page you are adding is supposed to be a sub-item to another page, then you select the parent page among the existing pages.
4. Then select what template to use for this particular page.
5. And lastly, add the actual content of the page. In the content area you can also add module tags, like {cms_module module="news"}
6. Finally click one of the buttons at the bottom or top:
   • Preview 'Tab' -- to preview the page without saving or leaving the editing window (this option doesn't show extra content boxes, and newer versions have a link for opening another tab/window to view the page)
   • Submit -- to submit the changes and return to Content » Pages
   • Cancel -- to return to Content » Pages without applying any of the changes you have made
   • Apply -- to apply the changes you made, but still staying in the editing window

Options

Active -- Another way of activating or deactivating a page.

Show in Menu -- Sometimes you want a page to be accessible (active), but not show up in the menu. Then just untick this box.

Cachable -- If you enable caching, the underlying template engine will keep a copy of your page around (on the server), so that it can render the page more quickly. If you disable caching, each request will cause the page to be assembled from its constituent parts (template, content, etc). You need to disable cache if the page has any Front End User or Custom Content tags in it.

Additional Editors -- You can select other users to be allowed to edit this page. Users that belong to a group with permission to edit all pages are already allowed to edit this page as well.
