Activating a Page

When you activate a page, you are publishing it to the public Web server.

Activation Cycle

• When an Author activates a page, a notification will be sent to the Approver for the unit to alert them that a page is ready to be published.
• When an Approver activates a page, the page is published to the Web server.

IMPORTANT:
Pages you create in the CMS Authoring Environment are NOT visible to the public until you activate them!

To activate a page in the Site Admin Console:

1. In the left-side Navigation pane, click to highlight the parent page (the root) of the page you want to activate.
2. From within the right-hand Details pane, you'll see the child pages listed. Click on the page title to select, then right-click and select Activate.

Note, there is no dialog box to confirm the change.

If you activate a page in error, repeat the steps above, but instead, select the option to "Deactivate".

Or, alternately, from within the right-hand Details pane, you may click on the page title to select the page and then click the Activate button.

You may need to hit the Refresh button if you don't automatically see a change in the page status.

To activate a page in Edit mode:

1. Select the Page tab of the Sidekick.
2. Click the Activate Page button. A dialog window will open to confirm your action.
3. Click Yes to activate the page, or No to cancel the request.
