Renaming a Page

Highlight the page and then select Move from the toolbar.


In the Rename to field enter the new page name. The page name is displayed as part of the URL. Click Move to complete the renaming process.

Note: Names cannot have spaces and special characters. Use dashes instead of spaces and refrain from using uppercase characters. It is recommended to have a short but meaningful name within the context of the entire URL.



When the prompt displays click Yes to complete the renaming process or click No to return to the move options.

Note: The prompt asks you to confirm that this destination is correct because renaming and moving are processed in the same manner.
