Site Hierarchy
The hierarchy of content in the Web site is visible within the expandable left-hand side Navigation pane. Every item in the main Web site tree is identified by a page icon. To find your unit's content pages, navigate through the tree by clicking on the plus signs next to the various pages to find your main content page.
The main Authoring Environment Site Admin console is split into two main panes:
- Left-hand side Navigation pane - here you can navigate through the site hierarchy (also called a "tree") to find and select your pages
- Right-hand side Details pane - here you can see important information about your pages
Above the Details pane is the Actions pane, where you can select commands to perform various administrative actions on your page.
Getting Around
At any time, you can navigate to the Site Admin by clicking on the globe icon in the top toolbar or in the bottom bar of the Sidekick. You can also access the DAM by clicking on the camera icon in the top toolbar.

Definitions
Parent pages
A Web page that acts as a container for additional (child) pages. Any page with + or - next to its page icon in the Navigation pane tree is a parent page and contains child pages. It can also be called the root page.
On the published page, links to the additional (child) pages appear in the top navigation bar.
Child pages
Web pages that are sub-pages of a parent page. To see these pages in the Navigation pane tree, click the + next to the parent page icon.
Note: All pages within the CMS may also be containers for other pages. For example, a page can be considered both a parent and a child. In this case, a new page is created as a sub-page of an existing page that is already a child of another page. In the Navigation pane tree, this relationship would look like:
Parent Page

- First Child of the Parent Page

- Child of the First Child Page
