Renaming an exisiting page

There may already be a page you want to repurpose. It’s fine to keep the page but you want to rename it to something more applicable to you. To change the title of a page do the following.

• From the Admin dashboard click Pages / All Pages.
• From the list locate the page you want to edit.
• Hover over it’s name and click edit.
• When the page loads in edit the title. 
• You may also edit the permalink to reflect the title name change. Only use dashes to separate words in the permalink.
• If you need to save this page under a difference category you can do so. 
• Click Update in the top right.
• Note: If you change the page title or save a page to another category, you will also need to edit the primary menu. See Editing The Website Menu tutorial.
• See this tutorial on Adding Page Content.

Adding a new page

• From the Admin dashboard click Pages / All Pages
• The next pages displays a list of all pages used on your website. You can scroll to view or search existing pages. Note: The order of the pages listed here does not determine the order of pages listed in your menu. That is done by editing the Primary Menu explained later.

• Give the page a name.
