About Tabs & Pages

Tab = a page.

Every page you create will become a tab or a sub-tab.

A "guide" can be a single page  or multiple pages with the "pages appear across the top of the guide as tabs.

Copying a Page

To copy an entire page from another guide, click on Add/Edit Pages on the yellow command bar and select Copy Page from Another Guide. Select the guide and page you want to copy.

Adding & Editing Tabs

Creating new tabs/pages:

  • Click on Add/Edit Pages on the yellow command bar.
  • Select Add New Page.
  • Enter a title for the page.
    • Keep titles short. Tip: Use & instead of and in titles.
    • Use title case (all words capitalized except for internal articles, prepositions, and conjunctions) in page names.
  • Leave as Top Level unless you want to make the page a sub-tab of another page. (See Adding Sub-Tabs below.)
  • Click Create this Page.

 

Adding Sub-Tabs

Sub-tabs are pages that appear in a drop-down menu from a main tab. Sub-tabs are less readily visible to the user and should be used carefully. If they are used, it is best to include references and links to the sub-tabs from the main page under which they appear.

Creating sub-tabs:

  • Click on Add/Edit Pages on the yellow command bar at the top of the page.
  • Select Add New Page.
  • Enter a name for the sub-tab.
  • Click on the Add as a Top Level drop-down menu and change it, selecting the main tab under which you want the sub-tab to appear.
  • Click Create this Page.

Note that sub-tabs are always listed in alphabetical order and cannot be re-ordered by dragging and dropping. To change the order, include numbers in the sub-tab names (i.e. "1. Encyclopedias", "2. Dictionaries", etc.)

Rearranging Tabs

To change the order of tabs/pages, click on Add/Edit Pages on the yellow command bar.

  • Select Reorder Pages.
  • Drag and drop the tab/page titles until they are in the correct order.
  • Click on Update Tab Order.
