You can create a link to a new web page on your website--that is, you can create a link to a new page that Contribute creates at the same time that it creates the link.
Note: The new page appears on your website when you publish the draft with the link.
For example, suppose you are working on a page listing your products and need to create a link to a product page that doesnt exist yet. Contribute lets you create the new page and link to it before you add content to the page.
The preferred way to add a new page to your website is to create a link and the new page at the same time, and then add content later. (The other way to add a new page to your website is to create the page first, then link it later. For more information, see Creating or copying a page on your website).
Its a good idea to create a link to a new page at the same time you create the new page. This way, you dont have to remember to link to the page later, and you ensure that users will be able to navigate to the page on your website.
To create a link to a new page:
The Insert Link dialog box appears.
The bottom half of the dialog box changes.
This is the text a website visitor clicks to go to another page.
Note: This text box is not available if you selected text or an image in the draft.
Note: If you dont 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.
When you select a page type, a page preview and a description appear.
Note: If your website administrator has restricted the types of new pages that you can create, then you might not see all of these options when you create a page. For more information, see your website administrator or see Setting permissions for new web pages.
This title appears in the browser title bar when a website visitor views the page; it does not appear on the page itself.
Note: For information about the advanced settings, see Setting the advanced linking options.
Contribute adds the link to your draft, then opens the new page in the Contribute editor.
Note: Contribute automatically saves the new page in the same folder as the draft that links to it (unless you selected another website in step 5). When you publish your draft, Contribute also publishes the new page. You can change the folder location for the new page then if you need to.
Tip: To return to the page where you inserted the link, click its title in the Pages panel.
