The Pages area is where you create, organize, and manage all the content pages on your school website. This overview walks through what Pages does and points you to the deeper how-to articles for each task.
What "Pages" covers
In the Edlio CMS, Pages is the section where you manage everything that lives in your site's content tree — Categories, Sections, and the individual Pages within them. Think of it as the file cabinet for your site:
Categories are top-level groupings (Academic Departments, Educational Support Departments, Athletics, Clubs and Activities, Miscellaneous, etc.)
Sections live inside Categories (e.g., Math, Music, Special Education within Academic Departments)
Pages live inside Sections — these are the actual web pages your visitors read
Getting to Pages
Two paths from the admin dashboard:
From the dashboard — click the Pages tile.
From the hamburger menu — open the menu (three horizontal lines, top-left), pick Page Management, then Pages.
Page Management's submenu also contains Links, Redirects, Password-Protected Areas, and Homepage Widgets.
For a deeper walkthrough of nav, including who can see what, see Navigate to Pages.
Working at each level
Category and Section list views
Each level of Page Management shows a list view with:
Section/page name + edit icon to rename the level
A + New Section or + New Page button (top-right, primary blue)
A 🔍 Search Pages button
Per-row kebab menus (•••) for actions like Move, Edit, Delete on individual sections/pages
Creating a new page
In a section's page list, click + New Page. The New Page modal offers:
Blank Page — a clean canvas for custom content
Link to another page — a navigation entry pointing somewhere else
5 feature pages — Form, Videos, Photo Album, Calendar, Links

Editing a page
Inside the page editor:
Page title at the top
Layout dropdown (top-right) for picking among 5 layout templates — see Page layout
+ Add in any zone opens the Add Page Block modal with ten block types (Content, Photos, Files, Supply Lists, Buttons, Links, News, Events, Staff, Staff Block) — see Add content to Pages
Drag handle (6-dot icon) on each block to reorder
Save controls live in the footer:
Save Draft (filled blue, primary)
Publish (outlined blue, secondary)
You can save a draft as many times as you need before clicking Publish.
Page-level actions
The Actions ▾ dropdown at the top-right of any page (when viewing it in the section list) gives you:
Public View — open the live page in a new tab
View in Site Navigation — see where this page sits in the site nav
Publish / Unpublish — toggle live visibility (label depends on current state)
Move — relocate the page to a different section
Delete — remove the page
Built-in Accessibility Report
When you create or update a page, the system runs an accessibility report in the background. The page editor footer surfaces a status line about the report. AI-powered fixes can resolve common accessibility issues with one click. See the Accessibility collection for guidance on what the report checks and how to use the AI fix tools.
Personal Pages — aka Teacher Pages
Beyond Category Pages (which admins manage), teachers and staff can have Personal Pages for their own classroom info, schedules, assignments, and parent updates. Those use a separate workflow and are covered in the Personal Pages subcollection. This article focuses on Category Pages — the school-wide content tree.

Best practices
Move the section structure as needed — Simply drag and drop the "domino" icon on the left-hand side to adjust the order of the pages in the section menu
Use descriptive page names — they appear in section menus, breadcrumbs (see: Page Settings), and search results
Save Draft frequently while editing — drafts let you preview without going live. Simply save as a draft, click the "Actions" menu in the upper right-hand corner and click "Preview Draft" to see your page across devices (web, tablet and phone view).
Update regularly — fresh content keeps your school community engaged
Mind accessibility — alt text on images, descriptive headings, and the in-editor accessibility report help every visitor get to your content
