From within the Content Management System (CMS), a website’s navigation is comprised of two different types of content, Folders and Pages: Top Level Navigation Links are comprised of a Folder and an Index Page.
The final level of navigation on your site can be created as pages within a folder without "index" pages.
The Pages Tab context menu can be accessed by right clicking on the page, file, or folder you wish to modify.
From the Edit Tab, you are able to add new generic content including images and videos, to the page container.
From the Preview Screen, users can place the same block of content on multiple pages retaining the ability to only have to edit that piece of content once. The updates would then filter to all pages that content is placed on.
