This section describes how to create and manage pages with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) so that you can then create content on those pages.
註解：
Your account needs the appropriate access rights and permissions to take action on pages, for example, create, copy, move, edit, delete.
If you encounter any problems we suggest you contact your system administrator.
As an author you will need to organize your website within AEM. This involves creating and naming your content pages so that:
- you can easily find them on the author environment
- visitors to your site can easily browse them on the publish environment
You can also use folders to help organize your content.
The structure of a website can be thought of as a tree structure that holds your content pages. The names of these content pages are used to form the URLs, whereas the title is shown when the page content is viewed.
The following shows an extract from the Geometrixx site; where, for example, the Triangle page will be accessed:
- Author environment - touch-optimized UI
http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/geometrixx/en/products/triangle.html - Author environment - classic UI
http://localhost:4502/cf#/content/geometrixx/en/products/triangle.html - Publish environment
http://localhost:4503/content/geometrixx/en/products/triangle.html
Depending on the configuration of your instance, use of /content might be optional on the publish environment.
/content
/geometrixx
/en
/toolbar...
/products
/triangle
/overview
/features
/square...
/circle...
/...
/...
/fr...
/de...
/es...

From the Sites console, you can navigate through the pages of your website and perform actions on the pages. You can also create new sites and new pages.
From any point, you can see the upward branch from breadcrumbs in the header bar:
-
When creating a new page, AEM will validate the page name according to the conventions imposesd by AEM and JCR.
Implementation and the list of characters allowed differs slightly according to UI (it is more extensive for the touch-optimized UI), but the minimum allowed is:
- 'a' through to 'z'
- 'A' through to 'Z'
- '0' through to '9'
- _ (underscore)
- - (hyphen/minus)
Use just these characters if you want to be sure of them being accepted/used (if you need full details of all characters allowed, see the naming conventions).
If you supply only a page Title when creating a new page, AEM will derive the page Name from this string and validate the name according to the conventions imposed by AEM and JCR. In both UIs a Title field containing invalid characters will be accepted, but the name derived will have the invalid characters subsituted. For example:
If you supply a page Name when creating a new page, AEM will validate the name according to the conventions imposed by AEM and JCR.
In the:
- Touch-optimized UI you cannot submit invalid characters in the Name field. When AEM detects invalid characters the field will be highlighted and an explanatory message shown to indicate the characters that need removing/replacing.
- Classic UI you cannot enter invalid characters in the Name field.
註解：
You should avoid using a two-letter code as defined by ISO-639-1, unless it is a language root.
See Preparing Content for Translation for more information.
In AEM, a template specifies a specialized type of page. A template will be used as the basis for any new page being created.
The template defines the structure of a page; including a thumbnail image and other properties. For example, you may have separate templates for product pages, sitemaps, and contact information. Templates are comprised of components.
AEM comes with several templates provided out-of-the-box. The templates proffered depend on the individual website and the information that needs to be supplied (when creating the new page) depends on the UI being used. The key fields are:
- Title
The title displayed on the resulting web-page.
- Name
Used when naming the page.
- Template
A list of templates available for use when generating the new page.
註解：
If configured on your instance, template authors can create templates with the Template Editor.
Components are the elements provided by AEM so that you can add specific types of content. AEM comes with a range of out-of-the-box components that provide comprehensive functionality; these include:
- Text
- Image
- Slideshow
- Video
- many more
Once you have created and opened a page you can add content using the components (available from either the component browser (touch-optimized UI) or the sidekick (classic UI)).
註解：
The Components Console give an overview of the components on your instance.
Unless all pages have been created for you in advance, before you can start creating content, you must create a page:
-
Open the Sites console (for example, http://localhost:4502/sites.html/content).
-
From the final stage of the wizard you can either:
- Use the two tabs to enter the page properties you want assigned to the new page, then click/tap Create to actually create the page.
- Use Back to return to template selection.
Key fields are:
- Title:
- This is displayed to the user.
- Name:
- This is used to generate the URI. If not specified, the name is derived from the title.
- If you supply a page Name when creating a new page, AEM will validate the name according to the conventions imposesd by AEM and JCR.
- In the touch-optimized UI you cannot submit invalid characters in the Name field. When AEM detects invalid characters the field will be highlighted and an explanatory message shown to indicate the characters that need removing/replacing.
註解：
- Use the two tabs to enter the page properties you want assigned to the new page, then click/tap Create to actually create the page.
-
Use Create to complete the process and create your new page. The confirmation dialog will ask whether you want to Open the page immediately or return to the console (Done):
註解：
If you create a page using a name that already exists at that location, the system will automatically generate a variation of the name; e.g. square will become square0.
注意：
Once a page has been created its template cannot be changed - unless you create a launch with a new template, though this will lose any content already existing.
After creating a page, or navigating to an existing page (in the console), you can open it for edit:
-
Open the Sites console; for example, http://localhost:4502/sites.html/content.
-
The page will be opened, here you can edit the page as required.
註解：
Navigating to other pages from the page editor is only possible in Preview mode as links are not active in the Edit mode of the touch-optimized UI page editor.
-
With either:
- quick actions
- selection mode and the toolbar
Select your page and then the Copy page icon:
註解：
If you are in selection mode this is exited automatically as soon as the page is copied.
註解：
Renaming a page is also subject to the Page Naming Conventions when specifying the new page name.
The procedure to move or rename a page is basically the same and is handled by the one wizard. With this you can rename a page without moving it, move the page without renaming it or move and rename at the same time.
AEM offers you the functionality to update any internal links that refer to the page being renamed/moved. This can be done on a page-by-page basis to provide full flexibility.
-
With either:
- quick actions
- selection mode and the toolbar
Select your page and then the Move page icon:
-
From the Rename stage of the wizard you can either:
- Specify the name you want the page to have after it is moved, then click/tap Next to proceed.
- Cancel to abort the process.
The page name:
- can remain the same if there is no page with that name at the new location.
- should be new if you move the page to a location where a page with the same name as the original already exists (if you use the same name, the system will automatically generate a variation of the name; e.g. square will become square1).
- Specify the name you want the page to have after it is moved, then click/tap Next to proceed.
-
From the Select Destination stage of the wizard you can either:
- Use the column view to navigate to the new location for the page:
- Select the destination it by clicking the destination's thumbnail.
- Click Next to continue.
- Select the destination it by clicking the destination's thumbnail.
- Use Back to return to page name specification.
註解：
If you move the page to a location where a page with the same name as the original already exists, the system will automatically generate a variation of the name; e.g. square will become square1.
- Use the column view to navigate to the new location for the page:
-
If the page is linked to, or referenced, then these will be listed. You can indicate which should be adjusted and republished (as appropriate):
註解：
If the page was already published, moving the page will automatically unpublish it. By default, it will be republished when the move is complete, but this can changed by unchecking the Republish field in the Adjust/Republish step.
註解：
If the page is not referenced in any way, then the Adjust/Republish step will be skipped.
-
Use selection mode to select the required page, then use Delete from the toolbar:
註解：
As a security precaution, the Delete page icon is not available as a quick action.
註解：
If a page is already published, it will automatically be unpublished before deletion.
You can lock/unlock a page from either a console or when editing an individual page. Information about whether a page is locked is also shown in both locations.
註解：
Folders are also subject to the Page Naming Conventions when specifying the new folder name.
注意：
- Folders can only be created directly under Sites or under other folders. They cannot be created under a page.
- The standard actions can be performed on a folder: move, copy, paste, delete, publish, unpublish, view/edit properties.
- Folders are not available for selection within a live copy.
Unless all pages have been created for you in advance, before you can start creating content, you must create a page:
-
The Create Page dialog allows you to:
- Provide a Title; this is displayed to the user.
- Provide a Name; this is used to generate the URI. If not specified, the name will be derived from the title.
- If you supply a page Name when creating a new page, AEM will validate the name according to the conventions imposesd by AEM and JCR.
- In the classic UI you cannot enter invalid characters in the Name field.
- If you supply a page Name when creating a new page, AEM will validate the name according to the conventions imposesd by AEM and JCR.
- Click the template you want to use to create the new page.
The template is used as the basis for the new page; for example, to determine the basic layout of a content page.
註解：
註解：
If you would like to use unicode characters in the URLs, set the Alias (sling:alias) property (page properties).
-
Click Create to create the page. You return to the Websites console where you can see an entry for the new page.
The console provides information about the page (for example when it was last edited and by whom) which is updated as necessary.
註解：
You can also create a page when you are editing an existing page. Using Create Child Page from the Page tab of the sidekick, will create a new page directly under the page being edited.
You can open the page to be edited by one of several methods:
- From Websites console, you can double-click the page entry to open it for editing.
- From Websites console, you can right-click (context menu) the page item, then select Open from the menu.
- After you have opened a page, you can navigate to other pages within the site (to edit them) by clicking hyperlinks.
註解：
The page editor of the touch-optimized UI is default (in a standard installation). You must specifically select or configure the UI to use the editor of the classic UI.
-
Navigate to the new location and click:
- Paste - to paste the page together with all subpages
- Shift + Paste - to paste the selected page only
The page(s) are pasted at the new location.
註解：
The page name might be automatically adjusted if an existing page already has the same name.
註解：
You can also use Copy Page from the Page tab of the sidekick. This will open a dialog where you can specify the destination, etc.
註解：
Renaming a page is also subject to the Page Naming Conventions when specifying the new page name.
The procedure to move or rename a page is the same. With the same action you can:
- move a page to a new location
- rename a page at the same location
- move a page to a new location and rename it at the same time
AEM offers you the functionality to update internal links to the page being renamed or moved. This can be done on a page-by-page basis to provide full flexibility.
-
- Destination
Use the sitemap (available via the drop-down selector) to select the location where the page should be moved to.
If you are only renaming the page, ignore this field. - Move
Specify the page to be moved - this is usually filled in by default, depending on how and where you started the move action. - Rename to
The current page label displays by default. Specify the new page label, if required. - Adjust
Update the links on the page listed that point to the moved page: for example, if page A has links to page B, AEM adjusts the links in page A in case you move page B.
This can be selected/deselected for each individual referencing page. - Republish
Republish the referencing page; again this can be selected for each individual page.
註解：
If the page was already activated, moving the page will automatically deactivate it. By default, it will be reactivated when the move is complete, but this can changed by unchecking the Republish field for the page in the Move window.
- Destination
-
You can delete a page from various locations:
- Within the Websites console, click to select the page, then right-click and select Delete from the resulting menu.
- Within the Websites console, click to select the page, then select Delete from the toolbar menu.
- Within sidekick use the Page tab to select Delete Page - this deletes the page that is currently open.
-
After you have selected to delete a page you must confirm the request - as the action cannot be undone.
註解：
After deletion, if the page has been published you can restore the latest (or a specific) version, but this may not have exactly the same content as your last version if further modifications had been made. See How To Restore Pages for further details.
註解：
If a page is already activated, it will automatically be deactivated before deletion.
You can lock/unlock a page from either a console or when editing an individual page. Information about whether a page is locked is also shown in both locations.
註解：
Folders are also subject to the Page Naming Conventions when specifying the new folder name.
