The Pages Application is where most content editing work is done. This is where you edit, add, delete pages of the website.

To access the "Pages" application simply click on the "Pages" card on the dashboard or click on the Kentico logo in the top left of the CMS to open the application menu. From the application menu you can search "pages" or open it in the "Content Management" section of the menu.

Pages Application is divided into two main sections: the content tree on the left frame and the viewport on the right frame.

Overview

The content tree: this is a repository of page types that make up the content of the website. When an item is clicked it will display in the viewport.
Page types: elements that are contained in the content tree that represent content on the site. Page types do not necessarily have to be traditional pages of a website they are all the elements that make up pieces of a page. It is helpful to think of page types as content, containers of content, as well as pages.
Viewport tabs: Page, Content, Properties tabs will display different content selected from the content tree differently depending on how the page type is structured. For traditional content pages content is editable on the “Page” tab with the page builder and widgets. For page types that are pieces of content, the content is edited on the “Content” tab.

Please note: some pages may have content that is editable on all three tabs. An example of this is seen on traditional pages where the content edited on the “Page” tab, the title and template edited on the “Content” tab and the URL and meta-data is edited on the “Properties” tab

Page Tab

The "Page" tab is used for content editing within a page with the page builder. In the example below you can see the “Page” tab is selected, so you will see page content that is editable by clicking in the widgets on the page. We will go into details about the widgets here.

Content Tab

The "Content" tab is where consistent elements of a page and structured elements of a page are managed. The image below is an example of the same page edited on the “Content” tab.

Options on the content tab vary by page type.

For the "Content Page" page type

Title: name of page
Description: this is used for the mega menu for context. It can be left blank for pages that are not on the menu
Show Side Navigation: this will change the layout of the page to either show or hide the side navigation
Show in Side Navigation: this option when checked will allow this page to show in other pages side navigation menus
Show section's child pages only: When checked, the side navigation will only display the child pages for this section (second level of pages in the content tree)
Show Breadcrumb: this will hide or show breadcrumbs

Hero image: this is an image upload that allows you to change the banner image of a page. The upload patches through to the media libraries application where images are stored

Redirect to page (301): this option will allow you to redirect the page to another page on the site. Used for the "How to Certify" page which exists twice in the menu
Publish from: allows you to set a publishing date

Properties Tab

The properties tab includes some valuable information for content editing:

Metadata is used to add title and descriptions to pages
Navigation includes an option to show or hide a page from the menu. Make sure you uncheck this if you are creating a page you dont want added to the menu
