Editing PAGES Element

Add/Delete	To Add new web page, click on the copy icon You can also achieve same by clicking on the Add New Page button at the bottom of the panel. To Delete a web page from the list, click on the trash icon To Edit the basic properties of a web page, click on the page name in the list. Name - set the name of the page as you want it to appear on the web page or/and navigation menu bar Url - set the Url or Link address, i.e. where user should be forwarded to upon clicking the page's name. Auto-generated menu - indicate if the auto-generated link for the page should be Visible or Hidden in the navigation menu.
SEO	Title - title of document that is displayed both in Search Engine result snippets as well as the page's tab in browsers. Description - indicate brief description of what the web page is all about. Keywords - indicate most relevant keywords, separated by comma, through which users can find the web page on search engines.
Notes: URL - Uniform Resource Locator, colloquially termed a web address. If the address is located on same website, you should enter only the link to the page without full URL, that means the URL is relative. For example, home, contactus etc. If the address is located on an external website, meaning the URL is absolute, then you must indicate the address full URL, For example, https: //anothersite.com/home, https://anothersite.com/contactus respectively. Auto-generated menu - each time you add a page with a link, the page along with the link is automatically added to navigation menu and, by default, visible/accessible to visitors. There are situations where you do not want the link to be automatically added as navigation menu item, in such a case you indicate Hidden. Page Title, Description and Keywords - belong to meta tags that define metadata about an HTML document. Metadata is data (information) about data. Meta tags always go inside the head section of a web page, and are typically used to specify character set, page description, keywords, author of the document, and viewport settings. Metadata will not be displayed on the page, but is machine parsable. Metadata is used by browsers (how to display content or reload page), search engines (keywords), and other web services. Meta Title - keep the title length to 65 characters including spaces for best possible rendering. You can go up to 70 characters in total, but try not to exceed this. Meta Descriptions can be any length, but search engines generally truncates snippets to ~155–160 characters. It's best to keep meta descriptions long enough that they're sufficiently descriptive, so we recommend descriptions between 50–160 characters. Meta Keywords - helps to tell search engines what the topic of the page is. There is no limit of meta keywords.
