Publishing a page follows the same rules as publishing an article — permalink + publish window. What's different is the URL shape and how readers actually reach the page, since pages don't appear in article listings.
How page URLs are built
On the platform host:
/{culture}/c/{channel-permalink}/p/{page-permalink}On a custom domain:
https://yourdomain.com/p/{page-permalink}The /p/ segment is what distinguishes a page URL from an article URL (/d/). Same culture, same channel, different path.
Root / home pages
If you want a page to serve as the channel's home — the thing readers see at the bare channel URL — wire it up through the channel's Home Page setting in the channel editor. The page still has its own permalink, but the channel root will render it instead of the default article list.
The publish window
Identical to articles:
- Publish Since — when the page goes live. Defaults to now.
- Publish Until — optional. When the page drops off the public site. Leave blank for indefinite.
A page outside its publish window returns a 404 on the public URL but is still fully editable in the dashboard.
Wiring pages into navigation
Pages only get traffic if readers can find them. Three common ways:
- Channel navigation. Add the page to the channel's navigation JSON — it shows up in the channel's top nav or sidebar.
- Direct links. Link to the page URL from articles, emails, ads, or external sites.
- Channel home. Set the page as the channel's home (see above) so it's the default landing.
Permalinks for pages
Same rules as article permalinks: lowercase, hyphens, short, unique within the channel, stable after publish. Pages and articles live in the same namespace, so a page and an article in the same channel can't share a permalink.
Search index
Pages are indexed in Azure Search just like articles when Searchable is on. That means a keyword search in the channel's search box can surface both. If a page shouldn't appear in search — an internal-only landing page, for example — turn Searchable off; the page stays reachable by URL.
Canonical URL
The Canonical URL field works on pages the same way it works on articles. Use it when the same page is published on a partner site and you want the partner's copy to be the search-engine source of truth.
