This page covers information on how to add a new page, duplicate an existing page, as well as how to publish your page.
When creating pages on your site, it is important to consider what your top menu pages should contain, and what should be your sub-pages. A nicely organised menu and page structure makes it much easier for people to navigate your site.
When adding pages to the page panel, where you add your pages is reflective or your page structure. However your pages will not appear on the menu unless you publish them.
This help video shows you how to add a page:
While there is really no difference between your home page and any other pages in terms of functionality, there always needs to be a home page for your site to function and have a page hierarchy starting point.
Home pages a.k.a. cover pages are bold landing pages used to make an enticing introduction to your website. This is also the most visited page on the website, by both users and search engines.

This page is now an index page and will appear on the site menu.
How to add a sub page:
When you first create a page, it will not be active. This allows you to work on the page without anyone being able to see it until you are ready.
To make the page active for people viewing the page:
Simply repeat the steps above, and turn 'Publish to 'Off'.
Simply making a page active will not make it appear on the top navigation menu in the header. Not all pages on the site should be on your top level navigation and may be linked only through page content.
If you wish for the page to show on your navigation (tab) menu:
As 'Placeholder' menu items don't actually contain a page, the process is slightly different to publish it to the menu:
This will now publish your Placeholder to the navigation menu.

Placeholder | A placeholder item is for adding a new menu item, without any content in it. E.g. This can be quite useful for a services section on your menu, where the top level main service menu item serves purely as a placeholder, with sub-pages appearing under it. |
Page anchor | This is for creating a menu item that links to a specific part of the same page. This is really only useful for one page websites that have multiple items on a menu, that scroll the user to specific parts of your page. |
