The article will provide a front-end overview of the Pages application.
Generally, we recommend linking Sites & Pages in your Main menu to assist user navigation between them, rather than directing users to open the Pages application front end and navigate that way.
However, how you set this up is at your discretion and based on your needs.
It is perfectly fine for users to open the Pages application directly to then browse; it may just not be the most user-friendly experience, as it takes more clicks to view the pages themselves than when users are supplied direct URLs to open from the menu.
The front end
The front end of the application can be opened from Applications > Pages.
The landing screen will list all Sites a user has permission to see:
A Site's homepage can be opened by clicking on its title.
If the 'show site navigation' option is enabled for the site, any subpages or links will appear on the top right of its homepage to assist navigation between them.
Each subpage can also be set to show the navigation area or not in page properties.
Rather than opening a Site homepage, other subpages or links within it can be browsed by clicking the 3 dots and then 'View List of all Pages'
Users with extra permissions
Users can be given extra responsibility to manage Sites or edit the pages within them.
When accessing a Site from the front end of the Pages application, these users will see more screen options compared to just someone with 'view' rights only.
These options allow them to perform administrative duties.
e.g. A user who can edit the site properties or a user who can edit a page and its properties.
