We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

    Under step 4, Add Page does not pop up when I hover over an existing page name. So it seems like my only option is to click on Add Page at the bottom of the menu and then go to the Site Map and drag it under the existing page name. Is this correct?

    Hi Barb Klausler, depending on your site design this may show as a plus sign underneath the page instead. I have added a note under step 4 above to show what that looks like!

    OR (because that didn't word AT ALL for me)

    Go to the page you want to add a subpage to, open you widgets on the left, drag and drop a "Pages" widget onto the page, close the widget options, click the "Add Page" button.

    That's how I had to do it because the "Add Page" button would never pop up for me on a page that didn't already have a subpage.
