Creating a Page

Let's create a simple page with the block - Content.

Begin by navigating to the Strapi menu on the left side of the screen and selecting "Content Manager." This section will be where most of the creating, editing, and updating of content will be done.

Path to page step 1

Select the "Page" section under "COLLECTION TYPES."

Path to page step 2

Select the "Create new entry" button at the top right of the screen.

Path to page step 3

Enter your page title and click the circle icon in the slug to regenerate the slug using the title. A slug is the page path assigned to a page. For example, when you create an About page, the "slug" (or page path) needs to be generated in Strapi and it should be "/about". Slug is the popular term for this functionality. Path to page step 4

Note

The slug can be customized as long as it uses the format: "annual-meeting". In most cases changing the slug from the automatically generate title slug is not necessary as it is only used in the url navigations.

Warning

All slugs must be unique, if you are experiencing an issue with a slug being "unavailable" enter a different slug using the same format: "annual-meeting".

Path to slug unavailable

Let's add our Content component to the page by selecting the button "Add a component to blocks."

Path to page step 5

Now select the "content" component to begin adding text.

Add your desired copy in the text box. For this example we will be using the Lord of the Rings opening prologue.

Now that our page has a title, a slug, and content, click save at the top right.

Path to page step 8

Congratulations! Your page successfully saved and is ready to be added to the live website. Please note that your new page will not appear on the live site until it is published. We will cover this in a future training module.
