How do I move a page?

ACM's Move Page feature allows you to move pages from one location to another within the same site.

To move a single page:

When you move a single page, all of the child pages are moved with it.

  1. If the page you want to move is published, open it in Full Edit mode.
  2. If the page is not published, open its parent page in Full Edit mode, go to the Child Pages tab and click on the page you want to move.
  3. In the Page Summary section, locate the Move Page field.
  4. Click on <<Select Page>>.
  5. Select the new parent page and click OK.
  6. When the page is redisplayed, submit the page for publication, or Emergency Publish the page.

Note: If the page you are moving is due for Review, you cannot move it. You must make sure the page is reviewed and then move it. If a page is due for review, it will display this status next to the page's Edit icon.

To move multiple pages simultaneously:


  1. Click the Full Edit icon on the parent page of the pages you wish to move.
  2. On the Child Pages tab, click the Select checkbox for each of the pages.
  3. Click Move and select the new parent page.
    You will have to click OK on the Move window to complete the move.
  4. Submit the page for publication, or Emergency Publish the page.

If a page move has caused a change to the dynamically generated left-hand navigation, it is necessary to Emergency Publish the parent page, as well as the page you've moved.  This will ensure that the left-hand navigation is updated on your live website.
