Rename a page

Use this guide to rename a page on your website. 

Before you start

• Don't rename Global pages or Main titles of News, Gallery, Events and Newsletter pages as it will break inheritance and your school will not receive any Global content from the department. 
• You can rename all local content pages and all news, gallery, events and newsletter pages created by the school. 
• Renaming any news items, newsletters, galleries and newsletter pages is the same process as a content page.

Step 1: Navigate to Home

• Log in to Adobe Experience Manager and select Sites.

• Your school's home page will already be selected.

Step 2: Select your page

• Navigate to the page you want to rename.
• Select the icon to the left of the page name. The tick will appear and your selection will turn blue.
• Select Move in the menu bar that appears across the top of the screen.

Step 3: Rename page

• When renaming a page both Page title after move and Page name after move fields should be changed.
  
• The page title is used for the navigation menu and main heading within the page.
• The page name is used for the page URL.
• Only use lower case letters, numbers and hyphens in the page name. Other characters – like spaces, question marks, percent signs, commas and ampersands – will cause issues.
• Select Next button to continue.

Step 4: Select destination

• Navigate to the parent page of your content page.
• Select the icon to the left of the page name. The tick will appear and your selection will turn blue. 
  
• If the option is available, select Move in the top right and continue to Step 5.
• Otherwise, select Next where you will confirm if pages linking to your page should be adjusted and republished.

• Make sure all available boxes are selected.
• Select Move to continue.

• You have successfully renamed your page. 
  

Troubleshooting

• If the option to Move page does not appear you may be trying to move a Must have page that cannot be moved.
• If you have renamed the page and it isn't updating on your live website you may need to publish the page again.

Renaming a global page

Renaming a global page is done differently because you cannot move or rename the global content page.

You must instead unlink the title of the page in the page properties from the global content. Please note that you cannot change the global page link (or URL), only the page title.

Customise the global page name

• Open the properties of the global content page.
• Open the basic tab if it is not already selected by default
• Select the chain icon beside the disabled Title field
• You will be asked Do you really want to cancel the inheritance?
• Select Yes
• Do the same steps above for the navigation title field as well. The navigation title is linked to the breadcrumb navigation.
  
• Select Save & close then publish the page.
  

Revert to the standard page name

You can revert back your change if you no longer need the custom page name.

• Select the chain icon beside the title field
• You will be asked Do you really want to revert the inheritance?
• If you select yes the title will revert to the default for the page. If you select synchronize after reverting inheritance, then the entire page global content will be updated to the latest copy.
• Do the same steps above for the navigation title field too. The navigation title is linked to the breadcrumb navigation.
• Select Save & close then publish the page.
