Structure of a page

In this instruction we will explain the structure of an umbraco page and give you some basic tips on how to work with an umbraco page.

1. Structure of a Umbraco page

1. Areas of a page

A page in Umbraco consists of three different areas

At the top is the name field and the menu bar below that is the content field at the bottom is the bar with the structure and the save and publish buttons.

 

 

2.  Name field

In the uppermost part "the name field and the menu bar" you can set and change the name of the page in the name field, which is then displayed on the web page in the navigation bar. You can change this name at any time, but you must ensure that the same name can only exist once on a website.

 

3. Menu bar

 

In the menu bar below, in addition to the most important tab "Content", the tabs "Navigation" and "Info" are also relevant for you.

3.1 Navigation:

1. Element in Navigation verbergen = Hide element in navigation?: You can deactivate the "Hide?" button if you want to have the page online and visible in the navigation bar.

2. Subelemente in Navigation verbergen? = hide subelement in navigation?: If the page has sub-elements, these can also be shown or hidden in the navigation bar.

In the picture you can see an example of a page which is online but hidden and therefore does not appear in the navigation bar, but you can reach the page with the link generated in the "Info" tab.

 

 

3.2 Info

The tab "Info" is also important, as it contains the link to the website, which you can share with the aforementioned group of people, for example, so that they can find the website. 

Finally, the "Scheduled Publishing" option can be very useful if you want a certain page to go online or offline at a certain time, e.g. during the night.

 

4. Content field

Now to the middle area of the umbraco page, which is the most important and is therefore only mentioned very briefly here and then taken up again in more detail in the next instrcution. This area is where all the content that is to be displayed on the website is created, organised and published.

 

5. Save and publish

 

In the lowest part of Umbraco you will find the structure of your website on the left-hand side and can switch between the different levels. On the right-hand side you will find the buttons for "Preview", "Save and Publish", "Save" or "unpublish" To publish a page on your website, you can simply click on "Save and publish" However, if you are not sure about the design and content, you can save the page first and publish it later You do this either by selecting the "Save" option using the arrow on the right or by clicking on the "Preview" button after saving for the first time. When using the "Preview" button, you can then also directly view the result and decide whether you are satisfied with it and want to put the page online in this way. If you have accidentally clicked on "Save and publish", you can undo this by selecting "Unpublish" via the arrow and confirming the action.
