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.
2. Do one of the following:
   • From the global navigation header, click Create, and choose Page from the menu.
   • To create a site and add it directly to the configured catalog of an initiative or project, go to the initiative or project view, click the Catalog pane, click Content, click the Add content button, and select Page.

     Note:

     Initiatives and projects are available with ArcGIS Hub Premium.

   The Create site window appears.

3. For Title, provide a page name.

   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/.

   Site titles are used on the browser tab, item details page, social media snippets, and in search results and search engine listings.

4. Choose a Blank or a Simple layout.
5. Click Next.
6. 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.

   If a Shared Update group is selected, members of the group can edit the page information, settings, and layout. For other group types, including Open Data groups, members of the group can view the page but do not have edit access.

7. Click Create to create the page.
8. Click Done when the page is created successfully.

   A Hub Page item is added to ArcGIS Online.

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 an 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 in Add existing content.

Open a page in edit mode

You can open a page in edit mode from a browser, ArcGIS Hub, or ArcGIS Online.

You can edit a page if one of the following is true:

• You own the page.
• You have administrative privileges in the organization where the page is hosted.
• You belong to the same shared update group as the page.

To open a page in edit mode, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Hub.

   Your workspace appears in the Overview pane.

   Note:

   If you are already signed in, click your username in the upper corner, and select View workspace to open your workspace.

2. In the overview table, click the Pages tab.

   This allows you to view your recently modified pages in a table.

3. In the table, find the page you want to open in edit mode, and click the Edit layout button .

   If the page is not listed in the table, do the following to find additional pages and open them in edit mode:

   1. Below the table, click View all pages.

      The Content pane appears with the filter for pages configured.

   2. In the item list, click the page's name.

      The page opens in view mode.

   3. On the action menu, click the Edit button .

The page opens in edit mode.

Note:

Page items may be associated with one or more sites. When you open a page in edit mode from the Overview or Content pane, only the page layout is displayed, rather than the page within the site context. To edit the page within the site context, open the site in view mode, go to the page, and click Edit on the action menu.

Manage a page

Administrators, site managers and members of page shared update groups can edit and manage a page in the workspace.

To manage a page, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Hub.

   Your workspace appears in the Overview pane.

   Note:

   If you are already signed in, click your username in the upper corner, and select View workspace to open your workspace.

2. In the overview table, click the Pages tab.

   This allows you to view your recently modified pages in a table.

3. In the table, find the page you want to manage, and click the Manage button .

   If the page is not listed in the table, do the following to find additional pages to manage:

   1. Below the table, click View all pages.

      The Content pane appears with the filter for pages configured.

   2. Click the Manage button .

   The workspace opens to where you can manage a page.

4. In the Details pane, add or edit the following information:
   • Title—Title changes are not applied to the page URL. You can change the Slug value. 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 Configure global navigation and menu links.
   • 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 one of the following formats: [site-domain]-[org-short].hub.arcgis.com/pages/[page-slug] or [custom-domain]/pages/[page-slug].

     Note:

     It is recommended to set unique slugs for pages within your site. Identical slugs can be appropriate for pages configured for different sites, or if you want to replace a page while maintaining the same URL.

     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.
   • Add additional details—Update the description. The description is visible when a page is posted to social media.
   • Increase discoverability—Add tags and categories to improve search results.
   • Location—Select a location setting for the site, and draw one or more features if needed.

   The updated details will appear on the published site, except the tags and categories in Increase discoverability.

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

5. Click Save to save your changes before going to a different page.
6. Optionally, configure deletion management by completing the following steps:
   1. Click the Settings tab and click General.
   2. In Deletion management, click the toggle button to turn it on.

   While deletion prevention is on, the Delete button cannot be clicked. This prevents the page from being accidentally deleted.

   If you delete the page, the Hub Page item will be permanently deleted from ArcGIS Online and any groups with which it was shared.

7. Optionally, set the sharing level and group access.

   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 a shared update group, add collaborators, and share the page (for editing) with 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. In the Customize panel, click 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. Click View to preview the page.
6. Click Save layout, and publish your changes.
