Titles and Navigation
A page’s title is used to describe the page in many
places on your web; in the banner (when using
Themes), in the navigation view, in auto generated
shortcuts, etc.
When a new page is created, make sure it is
properly titled BEFORE saving it - this will save
you a lot of trouble.
To change a page’s title, Click Folder on the views
menu, and right click the page name.
Navigation View
Click “Navigation” in the views menu
Drag pages from the list onto the diagram
and arrange them in a logical, flowchart style
fashion.
Pages on the navigation diagram will show
