The Page Editor is where you decide what someone sees when they scan. The page sits in the middle; a panel on each side does the work.

​
Opening the editor

From the Collection’s settings, open the page tab and choose Edit profile page. The editor opens in a new browser tab. (That tab only appears when pages are switched on for the Collection — see Pages Overview.) You can also open it against one specific Item: from the Item’s Page tab, press Edit Page. That matters, because opening from an Item puts you in override mode — see Per-Item Page Overrides.

​
The left panel: three tabs

Only one tab is visible at a time. The Structure tab is the fastest way to work on a long page: each row shows the section type, a child count for containers, and an eye icon marking a section as currently visible or hidden by its condition. Move sections with the up and down controls, or with Alt+↑ and Alt+↓.

​
The Properties panel

The panel on the right shows settings for whatever is selected, or Page Settings for the whole page when nothing is selected. A section’s settings are grouped into collapsible sections — Visibility, Content, Media, Style, Layout, Behavior, Access, General and Custom Styles — so most sections open showing only the handful of fields you usually touch. Page Settings is where theming and page width live; see Theming a Page.

​
Adding and arranging sections

  1. On the Components tab, find a section and add it.
  2. Select it on the page to open its settings in Properties.
  3. Switch to Structure to reorder, or use the up and down controls.
Container and Card can hold other sections, so you can group things and style the group as a unit. AdminToolbar is the exception to arranging: it is pinned to the end of the page and cannot be dragged. Selected sections are outlined in blue. An orange outline means that section is overridden for the Item you are viewing, and a dimmed orange outline means it is currently hidden — either by its condition or, for an ActionLink, by an unresolvable link.

​
Putting Item data into a section

Most section settings accept a binding instead of fixed text. Bindings use double curly braces and a namespace:
Rather than typing them, open the Data tab and drag a field straight onto the setting you want it in. One namespace in that list is a trap: the Link group (link.*) is available to Destination URLs and routing rules, but it is not part of what a Page is rendered with. Dragging one of those fields into a section leaves you with an empty value and no error. Two behaviors to expect: a binding that cannot be resolved renders as empty rather than showing an error, and most sections hide themselves when their content is empty. Values are also inserted exactly as stored, with no URL encoding — so a field containing a space or an & will break a URL you build from it. The full syntax reference is Field Bindings & URL Templates.

​
Undo, redo, and the history gotcha

Undo and redo are in the top bar, and hold the last 50 changes. Switching to a different Item clears the undo history. So does switching back to the base template. Finish an edit before you go looking at another Item — once you have switched, the previous work can only be undone by editing it back by hand.
