To Delete An Existing Folder

  2. Click Actions at the top of the page.

  3. Click Delete. A dialog will appear asking for confirmation. Choose Delete again to remove the Folder.

Excluding a Folder From Navigation Menus


  1. Go to the folder you want to change and click Contents in the menu above the page.
  2. Click on Edit in the same bar.
  3. On the editing screen, go to the Settings tab.
  4. Check the "Exclude from navigation" box and click Save.


WARNING: this will hide your content item from all navigation menus, so only use it if you do not want visitors to be able to see or find this folder unless they already know where it is. 


To Move A Content Item To Another Location On Your Site


  1. Navigate to the folder which contains the item you would like to move. So for example, if you would like to move your "About Us" folder, you should navigate to the Home folder (i.e. the homepage of your site, which can be reached by clicking on the site logo).
  2. Click on the Contents button in the Edit bar at the top of the center area of the page.
  3. Scroll through the list of content in the folder until you find the object you would like to move. Click the checkbox next to its name.
  4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Cut button. A green "success" message should appear saying the item has been cut.
  5. Now (staying on the Contents view) navigate to the folder into which you would like to move the item.
  6. Click the Paste button at the bottom of the page to place the cut item.
