Create a Basic Page

A basic page is a simple template that can be used for About Us pages, educational information or any other type of straightforward text-based content.

Select Create A Basic Page from the Manage Content dropdown, then follow the steps below.

1. Title: Enter a title to appear at the top of the page.
2. Summary: You can enter a page summary that will appear in results that appear when someone searches within the site. This can be advantageous for users already on the site, as it doesn’t need to
   be SEO optimized or heavily branded. Select Edit Summary and a new text box will open. Leave this blank to have the system pull a summary from the body text.
3. Body: Enter the full text here.

Additional Content

These tabs appear beneath the primary content fields in the template.

Get step-by-step instructions for the remaining options, including Publishing Options and Menu Settings in the Additional Content Details section.

Meta Tags

Add page and content Meta Tags that incorporate popular search terms to aid in search performance and user access. See Meta Tags for additional detail.

Save or Publish

1. Ensure that the correct Moderation State is selected under Publishing Options. The
   system will default to Published and will send the page live, even if you click Save
   as Draft or Send for Review below.
2. Save your work by selecting one of the following:

• Save as Draft—Save version to continue editing later.
• Preview—See how your content will appear.
• Send for Review—Distribute to appropriate stakeholders.
• Approved—Save version and mark as ready to be published.
• Publish—Send the page live.

! Make sure the correct Moderation State is selected on the Publishing Options tab to avoid publishing content before you are ready. The system will default to Published and will send the page live, even if you click a different button at the bottom of the page.
