Creating a new page without linking to it

You might want to create your new page and add content before you create the link to it. If so, remember to add a link to the page before you publish; otherwise, website visitors cannot navigate to the page.

Note: It’s a good idea to create the new page and the link at the same time (see Creating a new page and a link to the page).

After you create your page, you can set page properties (see Setting page properties) or add keywords and a description of the page (see Adding keywords and a description for a page).

To create a new page:

  1. In the Contribute browser, click the New Page button in the toolbar or, in the browser or editor, select File > New Page.
  2. The New Page dialog box opens.

  3. If you have multiple websites and want to create the new page in a website other than the current one, select another website in the Create new page from section.
  4. Note: If you don’t have permission to edit files in the folder you select, then Contribute saves the new page in the first folder you can edit for that website. If you cannot edit any folders in the website, then you cannot create a new page for that website.

  5. In the Create new page from section, select the type of page you want to create:
You cannot create a copy of the current page if the page contains frames or if the page is a draft in the Contribute editor. You cannot copy a page from one website to another website.
  1. Click the Refresh Templates button to update your list of templates, if necessary.
  2. Enter a page title in the Page title text box.
  3. This title appears in the browser title bar when a website visitor views the page; it does not appear on the page itself.

  4. Click OK.
  5. The new page opens in Contribute, ready for you to add content. Be sure to add a link to your new page before you publish it (see Creating text and image links).

    Note: Contribute creates the new page in the same folder as the page you were viewing when you created the page (unless you selected another website in step 2). You can change the folder location when you publish the new page, if you need to.
