Add page title

When the new page opens, you’ll see the “Add title” field. Click into the title field and type in the title of your new page. This will be the page’s name in the site’s menu so use title case (each significant word capitalized).

Add content

Below the title field is the content editor. Here, you can enter the text, images and other content you want to appear on your page using blocks.

Use the Document Overview (also known as List View) in the left editor panel to keep track of your content as you build your page. This tool provides a clear outline of all headings and blocks, helping you maintain a well-structured and easily navigable layout.
