Pages are the heart and soul of your website. Pages have a variety of ways to display your content in a unique and customizable way. The list below shows all of the options to display content on a page. Click on each element to see samples and learn more.
The page content type and its dependencies are provided by the Quickstart Flexible Page (az_flexible_page) module.
You can add elements to a page after creating it.
How to Create a Page
- Navigate to Manage > Content.
- Click Add Content button.
- Select Page.
- Enter Title.
- If you don't want to show the title in its default style at the top of the page, click the box labeled Exclude title from display
- Add main content. The Page Elements section below provides examples and links to additional information.
- Save.
Adding content to the summary field allows you to provide an overview of your page. This information will be displayed if you use a View to display pages on your website.
To add summary content:
- Create a page or edit an existing one.
- Select Summary fields dropdown.
- Provide a summary image and description.
- Note that no Editor Toolbar is included and only plain text is allowed in the summary text box.

Categorizing your page will allow you filter specific types of pages if you choose to place a Page view on your site. In order to categorize pages, you must create taxonomy terms.
To categorize a page:

- Select the Categorization dropdown.
- Search the desired Taxonomy Term or select from options provided.
