Rename pages
When you rename a page, you change the URL (web address) of every sub-page and file below. 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 wish to rename.
- Go to Edit > More, and select the Current page tab.
- In the Manage page box, select Rename this page.
- The URL of the page you're renaming is shown at the top. In the New URL box, enter the web address (URL).
- To automatically redirect visitors to the New URL, select the Forward requests for checkbox. Doing so inserts a forwarding page at the old location and prevents visitors seeing a ‘page not found’ error message.
-
Choose how search engines index the renamed pages by selecting an option from the Allow search engines drop-down list:
- Keep current settings
- Hide renamed pages in searches
- Show renamed pages in searches
Your choice applies to all pages and files under the current page.
-
Choose the permissions for the renamed pages by selecting an option from the Permissions drop-down list – note that your choice applies to all the pages and files you're renaming:
- Keep current settings
- Remove view permissions from renamed pages (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.
