This section explains how to move a page.
Moving a page
Page location
The first step is to find the page. See"Find a page".
Moving
The second step is to move the page.
To move a page, you need to use the "drag and drop" technique (for Internet culture, wikipedia gives a definition of drag and drop).
To perform this operation in Ametys, click on the page and, while holding the click, move the page to the desired location. An icon is displayed to describe where the page will be inserted. Then simply release the click to move the page to the desired location.
Modifications are directly reflected online once the page has been moved (reorganization of sections, update of page address, etc.).
The following paragraphs describe the different ways of moving a page, and the icons used to move a page.
Moving under a page
Example of moving under a page, in this example the Video Gallery page will be moved under the Photo Gallery page:
The + icon symbolizes the addition of the page.
Moving between pages
Example of moving between two pages, this allows you to choose the position of the page in the sitemap. In this example, the External Page page will be moved between Content Upload and Content Share:
The + icon symbolizes the addition between two pages, the green line (made up of dashes) symbolizes the location between pages.
Move to first position
Example of moving to first position: in this example, the Content upload page will be placed just before Multisite.
The + icon symbolizes the addition in first position, the green line (made up of dashes) symbolizes the location between pages.
Other types of travel
Here are the other icons you may encounter when making a move:

Edge effects
Moving a page changes its address (unless it remains in the same folder).
Internal links to Ametys pointing to this page will automatically be modified to use the new address. External links, on the other hand, will no longer find the page (as in the case of users who have bookmarked the page, links from search engines, etc.).
To overcome this problem, you need to create an alias for the page (the old address should redirect to the new address). This operation is strongly recommended for your site's most important pages and/or those with the highest traffic.
Changes are directly reflected online once the page has been renamed.
