Title, slug, status, and where a page shows up

Every field on the Page Settings panel, and what each one actually controls.

Finding Page Settings

  1. Go to Content -> Pages.
  2. Click a page in the list to open its editor, or + Add Page for a new one.
  3. The Page Settings panel is the top section of that editor, above the list of content sections.

Every field, what it does

  • Title -- the page is name, used in the browser tab and as the default heading search engines show.
  • URL Slug -- the actual web address, such as /about/. Change this if you rename a page -- Your Shop Space automatically adds a redirect from the old address to the new one, so any existing links or bookmarks keep working.
  • Publishing Status -- Draft (saved, not visible to visitors at all), Published (fully live), or Hidden (live and reachable by direct link, just left out of the Website Menu and search).
  • Nav Title -- an optional shorter label for the Website Menu, if the full Title is too long to sit comfortably in navigation.
  • Search Result Title and Search Result Description (under SEO Settings) -- what search engines may show. Leave blank and Your Shop Space falls back to the page Title automatically.
  • Social Share Image (under SEO Settings) -- the picture shown when this page is link is shared on Facebook, Twitter/X, iMessage, or similar. A live preview card below the field shows roughly how it will look. Leave blank for no image.
  • Private Administrator Notes -- notes only staff can see, never shown to visitors.

Starting a brand new page

A new page shows a Starting Point picker before anything else: Blank Page, Landing Page (Hero + Text + Call to Action already in place), Simple Info Page (a heading and one text block), or Photo & Story (an image beside text). Picking anything but Blank drops real sections onto the page immediately, using their normal defaults -- nothing is invented, it is exactly the same as adding those sections yourself.

Undoing a mistake

Every meaningful save creates a snapshot. Look for the revision history on the Page Settings panel to see past versions with a timestamp and who made the change, and restore any one of them with a single click -- restoring itself snapshots the current state first, so nothing is ever truly lost.
