Moving Pages
Prerequisites: CMS administrators must grant permission to users before users can reorder content items (i.e., pages, components, and folders) in the Site Tree. See User Group Permissions Reference for this and other permission options.
Even though pages are typically moved around in the Site Tree as exemplified below, users can move components and folders in the same ways.
When users move content items. the system retains the items' original xIDs.
Note: Moving content items in the Site Tree can cause the structured URLs associated with the items to change. See Configuring Structured URLs for details.
To move a page in the Site Tree:
- Navigate to Site > Site Tree.
- Select the page to move in the Site Tree.
- Choose one of the following processes:
- Drag the page to its new location within the Site Tree.
Note: You can move a page as a sibling between two existing pages, or you can drop the relocated page on to a target page. In the latter case, the relocated page becomes a child of the target page.
Also, you can select more than one page to drag by pressing the CTRL+Click or the CTRL+Shift+Click shortcut keys.
- Cut and paste via the Site Tree context menu:
- Right-click the page, and select Cut in the context menu.
Note: You can select more than one page to cut by pressing the CTRL+Click or the CTRL+Shift+Click shortcut keys.
- Right-click the target page, and select Paste in the context menu.
The relocated page becomes a child of the target page.
- Optional: If the relocated page doesn't immediately display, then refresh the Site Tree.
Note: Alternatively, you can use the cut (drag) and paste(Ctrl+V) shortcut keys to achieve the same results.
Note: To move pages between other content items (i.e., set the relocated page as a sibling of other content items), use the drag process. You cannot use the Copy and Paste context menu actions to move pages between other content items.
- Right-click the page, and select Cut in the context menu.
- Drag the page to its new location within the Site Tree.
