Add and edit pages

A page is an additional web page you can attach to a site to expand on a topic and to share content publicly, with your organization, or with groups. Add pages to organize a site's content by topic or theme and allow visitors to browse at their own pace. You can link to pages using menu links in the header. A page added to a site uses its header, footer, and domain.

Note:

Pages linked to a site using the former method of adding pages must be migrated. Learn how to migrate pages.

Add pages

If you plan to cover a range of information or display multiple items using iframes and the Map card (web maps and web scenes), consider using pages. This will maintain loading and performance levels for the site. Add a page by creating a page or using an existing page.

Every page includes a side panel with the same Layout menu used with the site. This allows you to design the layout of a page using cards in the same way that you design a site layout.

Create a page

You can create unlimited pages and add the same page to more than one item.

To create a page, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Hub.
   • From the global navigation header, select the Create button and choose Page.
   • To create a page and add it directly to a configured catalog, navigate to the workspace of the site, initiative, or project. Select the Catalog, Content pane, select the Add content button, and select Page.
   • To create a page and add it directly to the configured catalog of an initiative or project, open the initiative or project view. Select the Content tab, select the Add content button, and select Page.
2. Provide a name for the page in the Title field and select Next.

   Note:

   The name you provide is also used to automatically generate the page URL. Spaces are replaced with hyphens and all special characters are removed. Each page URL is preceded with /pages/. To edit the URL, see Manage a page.

   Page names are used on the browser tab, ArcGIS Online item details page, in galleries, social media snippets, and in Hub search and search engine results.

3. Select a group to connect to the page.

   Group selection is optional if creating from the Create button (global navigation). Group selection is required if creating and adding directly to a configured catalog.

Members of view groups can view the page, while members of edit groups can edit page information.
4. Select Create to create the page.
5. Select Done when the page is created successfully.
A Hub Page item is added to ArcGIS Online. For more information about who can view and edit a page, see the Share pages section below.
6. In your user workspace, select the Content pane. To edit the layout, select the page name and select Edit . To open the workspace, select the Manage button.

Add an existing page

You can add pages that are already in ArcGIS Online to the content catalog of a site, initiative, or project (if you have edit permissions). Initiatives and projects require a ArcGIS Hub Premium license. This includes ArcGIS Online pages that you or others have created, including members of your organization and the public. To add an existing page to a configured catalog, follow the steps provided in Add existing content.

Open a page in edit mode

To edit a page, refer to Open a site or page in edit mode.

Manage a page

Administrators, site managers and members of page edit groups can edit and manage a page in the workspace. In the workspace, select the Save button to save changes made on each pane before browsing to a different pane.

To manage a page, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Hub.
2. In your user workspace, select the Content pane.

   If needed, select your user profile and select View workspace to open your user workspace.

3. Select the Manage button next to the page to edit and manage information in the page workspace.

   Alternatively, from the live view of a page, select the Manage page button.

4. Select the Details pane and add or edit the following information to appear in the page view (except discoverability information).
   • Title—Title changes are not applied to the page URL. You can change the Slug. If the page is used as a menu link in a site's header, the menu link label will not update to reflect the new page title. For more information, see Edit or remove a menu link.
   • Slug—The text at the end of a page's URL that is automatically generated based on the page name. The full page URL is in the following format: data.[your-org].opendata.arcgis.com/pages/[page-name].

     Note:

     You can change the slug to something other than the page title, but the previous URL is not automatically redirected to the URL with the updated slug. You must manually update the URL if it is used elsewhere, with the exception of pages that are included as menu links on a site's header.

   • Summary— Included in the HTML metadata collected by search engines. For more information, refer to How do sites and pages appear as search results when using Google?

     Note:

     If a page is included in a site's content catalog, its title and summary are visible as a search result to those with whom the page is shared. Pages appear in a site's search results in the Documents collection. This cannot be changed.

   • Thumbnail—This image is visible when a page is posted to social media.
   • Select Add additional details to add a Description—A snippet is visible when a page is posted to social media.
   • Select Increase discoverability to add Tags and Categories.
   • Location—Select a location setting for the site and draw one or more features if needed.

   You can also edit some of these details in ArcGIS Online.

5. Select Settings and select the General pane to prevent accidental deletion of the page or to delete the page.

   The Hub Page item will be permanently deleted from ArcGIS Online and any groups to which it was shared.

6. Select Settings and select the Sharing pane to set the Sharing level. Share the item with groups to allow members to view or edit the item. View group members can search and view the item, if it is not shared to the public. Edit group members can edit the page layout and workspace information. Learn more about using groups and access and sharing.

   Tip:

   You can share a page differently than how its site is shared. For example, to allow editing of individual pages without providing access to edit an entire site, use an edit group, add collaborators, and share the page (for editing) to this group. Do not share the site item.

   You can also add a private page to a public site. Only members with whom the page is shared can view the page when signed in to ArcGIS Hub. Content shared on the page, such as web maps and datasets, must also be shared privately.

Design the page layout

Layout cards allow you to add images, text, apps, media, and other components to the page. Use drag and drop cards to design the layout of a page in the same way that you design the layout of a site.

Note:

You cannot edit the header or footer of the page, as these are inherited from the page's site.

To design the layout of a page, complete the following steps:

1. Open a page in edit mode.
2. On the Customize panel, select Layout.
3. Drag a Row card onto the page layout to start designing the page.

   Tip:

   Certain cards, including the Gallery card, automatically populate with applicable items. To add items individually to a page, use the Manual selection option if the card supports it.

4. Ensure that the content displayed on the page is shared with the appropriate audience.

   For more information, refer to Set up access and sharing.

5. Select View to preview the page.
6. Select Save layout and publish your changes.
