Moving pages
Moving pages, or reorganising the site map, may become necessary if the functionality of your website has changed, if the information changes or if you want to reorganise the order of items displayed in a menu. Keep in mind, however, that the order of pages displayed in the site map determines their order as displayed on the parent page when viewed by a user of the website.
- Click on the Site Content icon
to display the Site Content window - Click on
in the My Site pane
Although not a lot changes on the screen, by clicking this tool, you have enabled the reorganise functionality – that is, you can not move pages (even inadvertently) prior to activating the “Reorganise” tool…
- Locate and move the mouse pointer over the page that you want to move
- Hold down the left mouse button and drag the page over the new parent page, or into a new position beneath the same parent page
A thick blue line will indicate either the page position in the hierarchy, or the parent page onto which you are dropping the page. If you want the page to be at the first level in the website, you need to drag it onto the “Site Content”
icon …
- Release the mouse button to complete the move
The page will now adopt the green colouring and icon of a “changed” page.
Some pages may have been set up by your web developer to be listed in website menus by a particular field (e.g. date). Their order can not be changed.
