Manage pages

Once you create your website pages, you can see all of them in Pages section. In case you have a long list of pages, you can search for a specific page or filter pages in variety of ways - by author, date created or modified, or by properties. In addition, you have the option to sort pages in a list with specific order that is more convenient for you. For example, you can sort alphabetically, by hierarchy, by the date the pages are modified, or your own custom sorting.

In addition, if you have edited any page more than once, you can take a look at the different page versions and, if needed, revert to a specific version.

You can also manage pages, page properties, custom fields, and URLs using the Pages API.

The Pages management screen displays all created pages by all users in the currently selected language. You can search for specific page, and use the advanced filtering and sorting options to easily narrow down the pages you want to work with. The new Sitefinity backend UI provides a unified experience when working with Sitefinity content. For detailed instruction on how to perform the search sort and filter operations with pages see Search and filter content items.
