Create, move and reorder pages

The page tree in the sidebar shows the pages and groups of the space. A group holds pages and other groups, and has no content of its own. All the changes on this page go into your change request, like edits to page content.

The tree actions show only in edit mode. First open a page and click Edit. See Edit a page. In a space with no pages, New page shows at once.

Create a page

  1. Click New page at the bottom of the sidebar. To create the page in a group, click ... on the group row, then New Page.
  2. In the Create New Page dialog, enter a Title.
  3. Check the Route. See Routes.
  4. Click Save.

The Create New Page dialog with the Title and Route fields

The new page opens in the editor with a Draft badge. Until the change request is merged, the Page actions menu (...) of a new page has Change route and Delete Draft.

Click ... next to New page at the bottom of the sidebar, or ... on a group row. Then click:

  • New Group. The Create New Group dialog has the same Title and Route fields.
  • External Link. Enter a Title and a URL, then click Save. The URL must start with http://, https:// or mailto:. The link shows in the tree and opens the URL.

Routes

The route is the URL path of the page, for example handbook/it-and-security/devices. As you type the title, the dialog fills in the route from the route of the group and the title. You can change it. After you change it, the title no longer updates it.

For a page, the dialog checks the route. If another page already uses it, the dialog shows This route is already in use, and the page cannot be saved.

A route stays the same when you change the title or move the page. To change the route of a page later, use Page settings.

Move and reorder pages

In edit mode, drag a page or a group in the tree:

  • Drop it between two rows to change the order.
  • Drop it on a group to move it into that group.

Rows cannot be dragged while the tree shows search results.

Rename, publish and delete

Hold the pointer on a row and click ...:

  • For a page: Change Title, Publish or Unpublish, and Delete.
  • For a group: New Page, New Group, External Link, Rename and Delete. Delete shows only when the group is empty.

An unpublished page shows a crossed-out eye icon in the tree. Readers cannot see it after the change request is merged.

Delete and restore

When you delete a page, it stays in the tree, crossed out, until the change request is merged. Then the wiki removes it for everyone. To undo the delete before then, click ... on the row, then Restore.

Change markers

A colored dot next to a row shows that your change request changes it. Hold the pointer on the dot to see the change: New, Modified, Deleted or Reordered.

Find a page

Type in Search pages... at the top of the tree. The search matches page titles and routes, and the tree shows a flat list of results. Press Esc to clear the search.
