Creating and Customizing Pages

The Goal: Create a new page on your Community site, add modules to it, and arrange them to build a custom layout for your members.

Before You Begin:

  • You must have Site Admin access to create and edit pages.
  • Your site comes with pre-seeded pages already created: Home, Groups, Global Discussion, and Global Feed. These can be edited in the Pages tab of your Admin Section. Any page can be deleted from the platform, but deletion is discouraged and cannot be undone. If a page isn't linked to Navigation, it's hidden from the front end and members won't see it — that's usually the safer option. Always contact your Onboarding Coach or Customer Success Manager before attempting to remove a pre-seeded page.
  • You can add as many pages as your site needs — there is no limit.

Part 1: Create a Page

  1. Click the gear icon in the upper right of the software to open Settings.
  2. In the left navigation panel, click Pages under the Layout section.
  3. Click the New Page button.
  4. In the Create a New Page window, enter a Name for your page. This name is visible to members on the front end.
  5. Optionally, edit the auto-generated slug for the page URL.
  6. Click Create to proceed, or Cancel to discard.

The new page will appear in the Pages grid. Select it any time to begin customizing.

Part 2: Add a Module to a Page

  1. From the Pages grid, click the page you want to customize. The left-side panel shows your module options; the right side displays a live preview.
  2. In the left-hand panel, click the + icon to add a module.
  3. Select the module type you want to add (for example, Hero, Side-By-Side, or Announcements). The module will appear in the left-hand panel.
  4. Click the module in the left-hand panel to open its settings and configure the content and display options.
  5. Click Save Page when finished.
Available Module Types 

 

Part 3: Arrange Modules

  1. With your page open in the editor, locate the modules listed in the left-hand panel.
  2. Drag and drop modules up or down to reorder them. The right-side preview updates as you rearrange.
  3. Click Save Page to apply the new order.

Common Pitfalls

  • Deleting a pre-seeded page without checking first: Any page can be deleted, but it's discouraged — once a page is deleted it cannot be retrieved. If you simply don't want members to see a pre-seeded page (Home, Groups, Global Discussion, or Global Feed), unlink it from Navigation instead and it will be hidden from the front end. Always contact your Onboarding Coach or Customer Success Manager before deleting a pre-seeded page.
  • Page name vs. slug: The page name is what members see in the navigation. The slug is used in the URL and is auto-generated from the name — edit it before saving if you need a cleaner or shorter URL, since it cannot be changed after the page is created.
