Creating a new page and a link to the page

It’s a good idea to create a link to a new page when you create the new page. This way, you don’t have to remember to link to the page later, and you ensure that users can navigate to your page when you publish it.

From an existing page, you can insert a link to a new page, which Contribute creates at the same time that it inserts the link.

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

To create a new page and a link:

  1. Browse to an existing page where you want to insert a link to a new page; then click the Edit Page button in the toolbar.
  2. Do one of the following to indicate where the link will appear:
  3. Do one of the following to open the Insert Link dialog box:
  4. Click the Create New Page button at the top of the dialog box, if it is not already selected.
  5. Enter link text in the Link text text box, if you did not select text or an image in your draft.
  6. This is the text a website visitor clicks to go to the new page.

    Note: This text box is not available if you selected text or an image in the draft.

  7. 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.
  8. 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.

  9. In the Create new page from section, select the type of page you want to create:
  10. Enter a title for the new page in the New Page title text box.
  11. This title appears in the browser title bar when a website visitor views the page; it does not appear on the page itself.

  12. To set advanced options, do one of the following to expand the dialog box; then set the options you want.
  13. Click OK.
  14. Contribute adds the link to the draft, and then opens the new page in the Contribute editor. To return to the draft where you added the link, click the draft title in the Pages panel.

    Note: Contribute creates the new page in the same folder as the page that links to it (unless you selected another website in step 6). When you publish your draft, Contribute also publishes the new page; you can change its folder location then if you need to.
