There are several actions you can take on a single page in the website editor.
Publish a Single Page
You can update the content of a page that is already published without republishing the whole site and without changing other pages. This feature does not let you create a brand-new page and publish only that page.
Note
Theme changes (for example, header, footer, or site theme) are not applied when you publish a single page.
Each language on a multi-language site must be updated separately.
An automatic backup is created each time a single page is published.
To apply page URL changes, you must publish the entire site.
To publish a single page:
In the side panel, click Pages.
Click the settings (gear) icon next to the page you want to publish.
Click Publish page. A calendar icon shows on the page to indicate it was published separately from the whole site.
Set a Page as Draft
Set a page as a draft when you don’t want it searchable or on the live site. Once the site is published or republished, a drafted page will not exist on the live site.
Note
The home page, external-link pages, and folders cannot be drafted.
If a main navigation item with sub-pages is set as a draft, the sub-pages will no longer be accessible in the navigation.
To set a page as a draft:
In the side panel, click Pages.
Click the settings (gear) icon for the page.
Click Set as a draft. If the page is in the navigation, it will be removed.
Click Republish to remove the page from the live site.
To remove a page from draft state, use Stage draft for publish from the same menu, then Republish.
Page Settings
Click the settings (gear) icon next to a page for these options:
Rename — rename the page in the editor (does not change the page URL).
Hide in navigation — hide the page from the menu; it’s still reachable by direct URL.
Duplicate — create an exact copy of the page.
Publish page — publish changes on a single page (see above).
Page URL — customize the URL for the page.
SEO — access the page’s SEO settings (see below).
Set Access — set the page to Open to Everyone or Password Protected (see “Password-protect a page” below).
Set as a draft — keep the page off the live site (see above).
Delete — delete the page.
Note on page access: Corksy pages support only Open to Everyone and Password Protected. Password Protected uses a single shared password for the page — there is no per-customer “Members only” login option that requires each customer to sign into their account to view a page.
Page SEO
We recommend adding SEO information (title and description) at the page level so each page has a unique title and description. On a page’s SEO screen you can:
Set page to no index — tell search engines not to include this page in results. Draft pages are set to no index by default.
Page meta title — the text shown in search results, browser tabs, and social shares.
Page meta description — the description shown in search results.
Change the Home Page
You can set any normal page as your home page; the original home page is saved as a regular page and can be restored later. This is useful for an “under construction” page or while reworking your homepage.
To change the home page:
In the side panel, click Pages.
Next to the page you want as home, click the settings (gear) icon and select Set as home page.
Provide a new alias (URL) for the existing home page.
Links pointing to the old homepage are not changed automatically — update them to the new one.
Prevent Search Engines from Indexing a Page
All pages are discoverable by search engines by default. To keep a page out of search results:
In the side panel, click Pages.
Click the settings (gear) icon for the page, then click SEO.
Turn on the No Index toggle.
Note: Password-protected pages are not accessible to site crawlers. However, if a visitor opens a password-protected page and copies a direct CDN link to a file or image, that link can still be shared. If a page was previously indexed, it can take several weeks for search engines to drop it.
Password-Protect a Page
Password-protected pages require visitors to enter a password to view the page — useful for content meant for a specific audience (for example, a download or allocation page).
Password protection is not the same as user logins or account management. It adds a single shared password for one page — not different passwords for different customers.
Notes: anchored pages and dynamic pages cannot be password protected.
To password-protect a page:
In the side panel, click Pages.
Click the settings (gear) icon for the page.
Click Set Access.
Click Password Protected and type the password visitors will need (up to 100 characters).
Click Save. You can remove the password anytime by choosing Open to Everyone.
To log out of a password-protected page, clear the site/browser cache. Even if the password is changed, visitors who are already logged in stay logged in until they clear their cache.
