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.

Users can move pages, components, or folders in the Site Tree by dragging them or by using the Cut and Paste context menu actions.

Note
  • When you move content items or folders, the CMS retains their original xIDs.
  • Moving content items in the Site Tree can cause the structured URLs of 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.

      You can move the page as a sibling between two existing pages, or you can drop the page on a target page. In the latter case, the dropped page becomes a child of the target page.

      Note
      • To scroll up or down while dragging a page, hover the page over the top or bottom edge of the Site Tree.
      • You can select more than one page to drag by using the lasso tool. To lasso pages, click and drag your mouse to create the lasso, then encompass all the pages within your lasso. Release the mouse when all pages have been contained.

      Dragging Pages in Site Tree

    • Cut and paste the page via the Site Tree context menu.
      1. Right-click the page, then select Cut in the context menu (or, alternatively, select the page and press Ctrl+X on your keyboard to cut the page).
        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, alternatively, select the page and press Ctrl+V on your keyboard to paste the page).
        Note
        Alternatively, you can use the Cut (Ctrl+X) and Paste(Ctrl+V) shortcut keys to achieve the same results.

        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
      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.
