Introduction
In CoreMedia Content Cloud, a new navigation node is called a Page. A Page is a content item that provides the frame for your content to be rendered the way you choose. It comes with a set of predefined layouts and defines its place in the site navigation.
There are two ways to create a new Page in CoreMedia Studio. Both start by opening the Create dialog in the header bar. Here you have the option to create an empty new Page or use a predefined template as a starting point.
|
A Page must have a unique URL. Therefore, two pages in the same navigation path cannot share the same URL segment. You can define the URL segment in the Metadata tab after creating the Page. |

Fill in the properties of the dialog with the appropriate values as described below.

Folder: Enter the folder where you want to create the Page. If the folder does not exist, you will be asked whether it should be created.

Click Create to create the new Page.
The new Page will open and is integrated into the navigation structure. The placements in the Placements tab initially inherit the settings of the parent Page. You can now replace them with your own content.

Create a Page from Template
Another option is to create a new Page using one of the predefined Page templates for your site.

Open the Create dialog and choose Page from Template. The Page from Template creation window will open.
