Rename a page
When you rename a page, you change the URL (web address) of every sub-page and file below.
Note: Renaming a page does not rename any links in your body content. Therefore, we recommend you check for broken links after renaming a page.
-
Browse to the page you want to rename.
-
Go to Edit > More:
-
On the Current page tab, select Rename this page:
-
Enter the page's new name in the New URL box:
-
To automatically redirect visitors to the new URL, select Forward requests for the old address on to the new address. Doing so creates a Forwarding page at the old location and prevents visitors seeing a 'Page not found' error message.
-
Choose how search engines index the renamed page(s) by selecting an option from the Allow search engines:
-
Keep current settings
-
Hide renamed pages in searches
-
Show renamed pages in searches
Your choice also applies to all pages and files under the current page.
-
-
Choose the Permissions for the renamed pages by selecting an option from the drop-down list:
-
Keep current settings: Copied pages will have the same permissions settings as the original version.
-
Remove view permissions from renamed pages: View permissions for the copy pages are removed, meaning that they cannot be viewed by users without higher-level permissions. Contributor, edit and admin permissions are not affected.
-
-
Select Rename page.
Important: If you rename a page to the URL of a deleted page, this will overwrite the deleted page and purge it along with all its subpages. You will see a warning message in Sitebuilder after you select the Rename button if you attempt to overwrite a deleted page. You should continue only if you are happy to permanently delete the deleted page as purged pages cannot be restored.
