Revision Information, Menu Settings, Metatags, and URL Alias

Beneath the body content there are more options allowing you to add the new page directly to the department menu, create revision notes, and change the automatic URL alias.

Revision Information

The Revision Information section will allow you to add a comment to the revision. Here is where you decide how to save your page. As Draft, Ready for Review or Published.

Menu Settings

You will first need to toggle on "Provide a menu link"
 

You can check Provide Menu Link to add this new page directly to the Main navigation menu (set by default). By default, the Menu link title will pull in the title of the page. You can change this if you wish to have the name in the department menu differ from the page title. Additional information can be added when hovering over the menu link in the Description section.Ensure you set the Parent link to correct parent, so I can be displayed where it should. Leave the Weight set to zero.

 

Metatags

Page Title: The text to display in the title bar of a visitor's web browser when they view this page. This meta tag may also be used as the title of the page when a visitor bookmarks or favorites this page, or as the page title in a search engine result. It is common to append '[site:name]' to the end of this, so the site's name is automatically added. It is recommended that the title is no greater than 55 - 65 characters long, including spaces.

Description: A brief and concise summary of the page's content that is a maximum of 160 characters in length. The description meta tag may be used by search engines to display a snippet about the page in search results.

Abstract: A brief and concise summary of the page's content, preferably 150 characters or less. Where as the description meta tag may be used by search engines to display a snippet about the page in search results, the abstract tag may be used to archive a summary about the page. This meta tag is no longer supported by major search engines.

Keywords: A comma-separated list of keywords about the page. This meta tag is no longer supported by most search engines.

URL Alias

By default, your page should generate an automatic alias for your page based on the title of the page.

Saving

Before you save your page, you need to decided in which stat you wish to save it

These are the options available

After you select one, just click the Save button
