Adding a new page

First, we’ll look at adding a new page. After logging into Sitecore, click on “Content Editor.”

Navigate to your department’s branch of the SPU Website. For this example, I am going to use my department, University Communications. Now, I already know that my department is nested under the “administration” branch, but if you’re unsure, look at the URL of your department’s website in the browser. The structure of the URL reflects the structure of the Content Editor navigation, so when I see http://spu.edu/administration/university-communications, I know I need to open the administration folder and then the university-communications folder in order to add pages and content to my department’s website. 

...

Once you have decided where your new page belongs, right click on the parent page, select “Insert,” and then “Standard Page.”

...

Once you have these filled in, you can take a look at how the page will show up on the front end by clicking the “Publish” tab and then “Preview.” This will open up a new browser tab, and you can see our “Page heading”, “Page title”, and “Navigation title” all showing up in the correct places. 

...

In order to add content to the page, right click on the page content folder, select Insert“Insert,and then click “Body Copy with Image.” There are a number of other design components you can use, but for the vast majority of content in Sitecore, “Body Copy with Image” will display your content correctly. 

...

For this tutorial, we are only going to worry about two fields here: Title and Body Content. I’m going to put my heading into the Title “Title” field here. Next, click the “Show Editor” link above the “Body Copy” field. The Rich Text Editor will pop up, where we can add all of the text we would like to see on the page. In this case, I’m going to add some placeholder text. Once you’re done adding content, click “Accept,” and then “Save.” 

...

In order to see the live page, right-click on the item in the content tree on the left, select “Copy Item Url,” and then select “Copy Live Url.”

Editing an existing page

In order to make changes to an existing page, select it in the content tree. Click the link that reads “Lock and edit.” In Sitecore, whenever you are editing an item, you have to lock it first, to make sure that no one else is editing the same item at the same time.
