Creating new pages

Follow the following procedure to create the pages.

1. Navigate to a page on the site that you want to copy.
2. Click the Copy link. (Hint: Be sure you are in Edit Mode.)
3. In the Copy Page dialog, navigate to the channel you'd like to copy the new page to and click OK.
4. You are now on the newly copied page, though it has not been submitted or published yet. Click the Page Properties link to edit the name and URL of the page.
5. Format according to the site conventions:
   - use all lower case letters in "Name."
   - no spaces in filename
   - hyphens between words in "Name."
   - do not use a file extension (e.g. ".htm")
   - Enter a friendly name in "Display Name"; this will become the page title and navigation link.

As you practice, you may wish to make additional new pages. Please make at least two (2) additional pages using the technique described above, or use the Create New Page link.

Editors: Approve or Decline the pages as you like, keeping in mind that if you choose to edit a page, you can no longer Decline it.
