The “Create a page” dialog will appear:
Enter the title of the page (you can change this later), and optionally select a “Page Template.” Then click “Create.”
Next, either the “Live Editor” or the “Code Editor” will open depending on the type of template chosen.

Editing an existing page
Editing an existing page begins by finding the page you want to edit. There are two ways to do this:
Find a page by navigation
Navigate to the page you want to edit and click “Edit.” This will show the list of available versions of the page--including which version is “published” (a published page is viewable on your public website). Find the version you want to edit and click on either the “code” or “live” editor. Click “Version list” to see more versions.
Find using the Page Inventory
- The second way to find the page you want to edit is to select “Manage” on the tool bar and then
“Pages.” This brings up the page inventory for your website. You can browse the pages in the list
shown and click on the page title, or, use the search bar and click “Open.”
- The version history of the web page will appear. Notice that the published version is noted with
it's publication date and time.
- Find version you want to edit, then click on either the code or live editor.
