How To Access PageFly Pages and Sections?

How To Configure For PageFly Pages and Sections?
In this section, we’ll guide you through the steps of configuring PageFly pages and sections:
Step 1: Create A New Page/Section
Click on the Create blank page button at the top right corner of the page list. Select your desired page type: Regular, Home, Product, Collection, Blog, or Password to create your page.
Another option is to Create from a template. Here, you can pick a template from PageFly to edit your own page. Similarly, choose your desired page type. You will be navigated to the templates library. Hit on the “Select” button under the template you want to use.
If you change your mind after selecting a template, don’t worry. You can change the page’s template in PageFly’s page editor. For more details, refer to this guide.
If you already have a page or section and want to edit it in PageFly, choose Import.
Or, if you want to export a PageFly page, choose Export.
For more details about this feature, please check this video tutorial.
The process of creating a new section is similar to creating a page. However, since there is only one type of section, you don’t need to select a section type. Simply click on “Create a new section” and start customizing it.
Step 2: Understand The Page List
Pages Configurations
In this operating area, you will see the list of all pages created for all or each specific type; for example, Regular pages.
- View Page List: Here, you can see the page title, the latest update, and the state of the page (published or unpublished).
- Select a Page: Tick on the box before a page title to highlight it.
- Access Page Functions: Click on the three dots, located on the right side of the page list, to reveal the available functions:
-
- View Analytics: Check the performance metrics of the page.
- Preview: See how the page looks.
- Duplicate: Make a copy of the page.
- Export: Save the page for use elsewhere.
- Delete: Remove the page.
- Page Settings: To access the page settings page, click on a page to open it in the page editor. Then, in the left menu, look for the Page Settings button and click on it. For further information on page settings, please refer to the accompanying article.
Sections Configurations
Unlike Pages, Sections only have 1 type.
Select a section to view its publication status. Next, click on the three dots to reveal the available functions, which may include the following:
- Duplicate
- Export
- Delete
Step 3: Understand Search, Filter, And Sort
Search
The search function in PageFly allows you to quickly locate specific pages or sections within the pages/section list.
In the top right corner of the pages or sections list, you will find the search button. Click on it and type the title or keyword related to the page or section you are looking for. The list will automatically filter to show the pages or sections that match your search terms.
Page Filter
You can filter pages by selecting page type and status:
- In the Pages or Sections list, locate the filter options above the list of items.
- Select “Add filter”
- Click on the type of filter you want to apply. You can filter by one or both of these types:
-
- Page Type: Regular, Home, Product, Collection, Blog post, Password.
- Status: Published or Unpublished.
Select your desired filter criteria. The page list will automatically update to show only the items that match your selected filter.
Section Filter
As the section only has 1 type, we can only filter it by Status.
Sort
Another useful feature available to you is the ability to sort your pages and sections based on either alphabetical order or updated time. This can help you better manage your pages.
Save Filter
To save your filters for later use, select the desired page type and status, then enter a relevant tab name and click on the “Save” button.
