Pages are a powerful tool for managing editorial content and providing users with valuable company data and information. Whether it's company news or fixed content, pages offer a way to automatically notify all relevant groups about new content. This feature is particularly useful for central news, which can be made available to everyone by Corporate or Internal Communications departments.

For a space for collaboration and discussion on projects or between teams, we suggest using communities instead of pages.

Features

These are the features of pages:

  • The Pages overview: By default, the Pages overview shows you all the pages you have access to, allowing you to quickly find and subscribe to relevant pages. You can be auto-subscribed to mandatory pages, meaning you cannot unsubscribe from them. You can search and apply filters to view pages based on your subscription status, admin status, and category. Pages are ordered by automatically auto-subscribed pages first, followed by all other pages (sorted alphabetically).
  • Page subscribers: Users following a page are referred to as Subscribers. A page admin can see a list of subscribers to their page. Users can see the admins of a page under Imprint.
  • File library: When you create a page, a file library is automatically created. This library can be accessed and edited by admins under Manage files. Each app has a subfolder within the library where any files uploaded to that app are stored by default. Learn more in this article:
  • Creating pages: You can create pages in the Pages overview, provided you have the necessary permissions. A page can be Public or Private, and you can make it mandatory by auto-subscribing users. Learn more in this article:
  • Adding content to pages: After a page is created, content has to be added to it by adding apps and widgets. A newly created page is empty until it's designed. Learn more in this article:
  • Using categories for pages: Pages can be labeled with categories for users to filter by to find relevant pages more easily. Categories can be applied to a page in the page settings. Learn more in this article:
  • Pages on mobile: Pages can also be accessed on the mobile app. Learn more in this article:
