Moving Pages

Prerequisites: CMS administrators must grant permissions to users before users can move content items in the Site Tree. See User Group Permissions Reference for details and other permission options.
Even though pages are typically moved around in the Site Tree as exemplified below, you 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:
  1. Navigate to Site > Site Tree.
  2. Select the page to move in the Site Tree.
  3. Choose one of the following processes:
    • Drag the page to its new location within the Site Tree.
      Note
      You can move the page as a sibling between two existing pages, or you can drop the relocated page on 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.

      Dragging Pages in Site Tree

    • Cut and paste the page via the Site Tree context menu.
      1. Right-click the page, and select Cut in the context menu (or, as an alternative, select the page and press Ctrl+X to cut the page via keyboard shortcut).
        Note
        You can select more than one page to cut by pressing the CTRL+Click or the CTRL+Shift+Click shortcut keys.

        Context Menu: Cut

      2. Right-click the target page, and select Paste in the context menu (or, as an alternative, select the page and press Ctrl+V to paste the page via keyboard shortcut).

        Context Menu: Paste

        The relocated page becomes a child of the target page.

      3. Optional: If the relocated page doesn't immediately display, then refresh the Site Tree.
        Note
        Alternatively, you can use the Cut (Ctrl+X) 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.
