# Pages

Use **Pages** to create and organize your site's home page, business presentation, contact page, legal pages and pages reached only through a direct link. Open any of them in the visual editor to change its text, images and layout.

Come here when you want to add a new page to your site, edit the content of an existing page, change the order in which pages appear in the navigation bar or footer, or simply find a specific page with the search and filters.

The dashboard is shown in French, with English captions.

## The list

This section shows every page on your site in a table with three columns: **Name**, **Status** and **Last modified**, preceded by a preview thumbnail. Each page carries two status indicators: **Published** or **Not published** depending on whether it is online, and **Active** or **Inactive**.

A badge also shows its location — **Home page** with a house icon, **Navigation menu**, **Footer** or **Direct link only** — and a **Protected** label appears when the page is only visible to authenticated visitors.

The **Search for a page** field filters the list by name. The **All** / **Active** / **Inactive** tabs and the **Location** and **Access** filters narrow down the table. Hover a page's thumbnail to enlarge its preview, then click the row to open the page in the [page editor](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/editor/index.md) and tweak its content.

The **⋯** menu at the end of the row gathers the **Edit**, **Duplicate** and **Delete** actions; deletion is permanent and removes the page from the site immediately, and you must type "Delete permanently" to confirm it.

If your shop or your blog is up and running, **Shop** and **Blog** rows carrying the **Created automatically** badge also appear in the list: these pages are generated from your product categories and your blog posts. Clicking them opens their theme settings rather than the page editor.

To create a new page, click **Create a page**. The creation screen offers four starting points:

- **Describe it to the AI**: a brief of a few sentences is enough, the page is generated section by section, then you ask for adjustments directly in the chat. You can attach an image, a mockup or a PDF to guide the result, and switch the preview between desktop and mobile. Generation can take 2 to 3 minutes.
- **Start from a template**: complete pages crafted by designers, already matched to your colors and fonts. Pick one and customize every section in the editor, or click **Adapt to my style** to have the AI rewrite it for your brand and your business.
- **Blank page**: a title, a description, and the editor opens on an empty page to build block by block.
- **Import a page**: give the address of your old site, and the page of your choice is rebuilt into editable blocks with your words and your photos. Only static content comes over: product lists and forms stay managed by your space.

Whichever method you pick, the page is created **Inactive**: activate it from the editor once it is ready to go online.

::: info First page
As long as your site has no pages, the section shows a welcome screen with the same starting points. If your brand identity is not set yet, a short assistant first asks for your logo, then your colors and fonts — use **Skip this step** if you prefer to set that up later.
:::

If your site has several pages, the **Reorder** entry in the three-dot menu **⋮**, to the right of **Create a page**, lets you change their order via drag and drop. The order set here determines the order in which pages appear in the navigation bar and footer of your site. Confirm by clicking **Save**.

::: tip Duplicating a page
Open the **⋯** menu at the end of the row and choose **Duplicate**: the full layout is copied into a new inactive page, with "(copie)" appended to the title. Remember to change the copy's title, URL and text content: two pages with identical text hurt your [SEO](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/seo.md).

::: warning Renaming a page changes its URL
Editing a page's title automatically updates its URL, unless you have enabled **Customize the link name** in the page settings. If the page is already published and internal or external links point to the old address, they break. Update your internal buttons accordingly, and if needed add a [redirect rule](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/redirects.md) from the old URL to the new one.
