Quick Help

Answers to questions the Web Help Team are frequently contacted about.

Web Editor and Pages Access

Design and Content

Site Structure

  • I accidentally made a change and want to undo it and/or noticed a mistake on a page. What do I do?

    You can use CTRL + Z to undo. We will also have an undo button in the top command bar. 

  • Can I ‘hide’ a page in Pages?

    No, you cannot hide an entire page in the new system. In the event that you need to hide certain content (i.e. special events, graduation information, etc.), we suggest either:

    1. Create a new page, add the desired content, ‘hide’ those components in your layers tab, and add a message that information is coming soon. When you are ready to display that information, you can unhide those components in your layer tab and republish the page to show the information.
    2. Create the desired content on an existing page and hide the components in your layers tab until you need them. When you are ready to display that information, you can unhide those components in your layer tabs and republish the page to show the information.

     

    When you are finished using the special content, rehide the components and republish the page or revert back to a previous version and republish.

  • Can I hide the default page titles?

    It is possible to hide the default page titles. In the ‘Structure’ menu (the 3 horizontal lines) in the same panel as the Blocks and Settings, you can see every block used on the page. To hide a block, select it, in this case the ‘Title’ block, and click the eye icon to the left of the name.

Links 

  • Do we have anchor links?

    No, anchor links are not supported in Pages. Tabs and accordions are now used to organize and show large amounts of content on a single page. You can also consider adding multiple pages.

  • How do I copy the link to my new page?

    Click on the web path displayed in the Pages toolbar. This will copy the link to your clipboard.

  • Will you provide redirects?

    Permanent redirects are not supported. However, if you have a special circumstance such as marketing material or QR codes pointing to a specific page, please submit a support request and we can set a short term redirect with a 3 month expiration date.

  • How do I insert a Box upload link?

    Embedding Box Upload links is not supported in Pages. You can still use Box Upload by using just the link. Here are the steps for creating a new Box Upload folder and adding it to your page.

    1. Create a new folder in Box. You can name it anything you’d like. Keeping the default permissions is fine.
    2. In the ‘More Options’ menu, select ‘File Request’. The default settings should work for our uses.
    3. Click the ‘Copy’ button to copy the link. You do not need the entire embed code for use in Pages.
    4. Paste the link into a block on your site. We suggest using either a text or button block.
