Everything for Editors
Navigation Gadget Overview
The navigation pane displays tabs for PGCPS page tree structure, language branches, tasks and project items. Below you’ll find detailed information about each tab.
Tabs
Pages
The page tree structure is located in the edit view under Pages. At the top of the structure is the root page, with our PGCPS home page directly underneath. The structure of the website is made up of pages. By default, the page structure is reflected in the public navigation menus. To simplify navigation, limit the submenu structure to a maximum of three levels. By hovering over a page in the tree structure, information about the page appears, such as ID and page type.
Page URLs
To get the page address (URL) or hyperlink the page must 1st be published. Once published use the page Options Button "View on Website" link to copy the page URL.
Note: some of these icons are only displayed for the first draft version of a page, before any published version exists.
