Pages → Page Editor
The Page Manager lets you view and search all Pages associated with your School/Site. From this you can open the Page Editor through creating a new page or editing an existing page.
Within the page editor, users with admin/shared permissions are able to interact with page settings and content in a variety of ways.
Page Settings and Controls:
➔ Change a page title/name ➔ Change a page route (URL) [Warning: this can cause broken links] ➔ Assign tags to a page. ➔ Select which site(s) the current page is shared with. ➔ Set content visibility as public or staff. ➔ Select whether this page is to be distributed to the selected site(s). ◆ when a page is distributed it creates a version of that page on every site it is shared with, this means that a page can contain both shared and site specific content ◆ if permissions allow, a user can edit both the shared content and the site specific content, but in most cases the user will only be able to edit their site specific content ➔ Assign page to navigation. ◆ by clicking 'Assign to Sitemap' (If Advanced Options has been selected, click 'Use Site Map' then 'Assign to Sitemap') a new window will open displaying the navigation explorer, from this page you can drag and drop your page into your desired location

Templates can vary depending on design, however, the following capabilities are standard for each page: ➔ Select a featured image. ➔ Add or edit the page introduction heading and/or paragraph ➔ Add, edit, reorder or delete content sections.

More about Editors★ Remember to Save All Sections Before Publishing! ★
Each section of a DCT page must be saved before hitting Publish in order for changes on those sections to go live. If you find that you've made changes but they aren't appearing on your website, missing a 'Save' is the most likely reason why. On sections that allow for multiple rows of content, there is an extra step. On a new row, you must 'Add' the row (bottom left), then 'Save' the section, and 'Publish. When making a change to a row, that 'Add' button will instead be 'Update'.
1 - Add/Update; 2 - Save; 3 - Publish
