Select Page Settings

Summary

Page Settings allow you to configure the appearance and behavior of your Explore page using the following:

  • Appearance settings
  • Custom URL slug
  • Public title (the name which appears in the browser tab)
  • External code

All of the following steps are optional when building an Explore Page.


Appearance settings

You are able to customize how your Explore page looks by applying an appearance group.

  1. Go to the Explore pages to set their colors, fonts, images, and content layout.
    Note
    See this article for more information on Explore appearance settings.

  4. Select an appearance group and then to save, click Update.

Important Note:
The appearance group you select for your Explore page will be applied only to the Explore page, and not to the base Content Track.

For example, if:

  • You apply the appearance group Red to your Explore page
  • The Content Track you built the Explore page on already has the appearance group Blue

Visitors to your Explore Page will see:

  • The Red appearance when browsing the Explore page
  • The Blue appearance when they click through to view the content assets

URL Slug

The URL Slug is the customizable part of your Explore Page’s URL. A URL Slug is automatically generated when you create a new Explore Page, but you have the ability to change it to whatever you want!

Note
URL Slugs can help improve SEO, so make it something relevant to your Explore Page.
Warning
If you shared the Explore Page before making this change the previously shared URL will no longer link to the content track.
  1. On the Explore Page Settings screen, click URL Slug.

    • If the URL Slug is already being used by another Explore Page in your PathFactory instance you will get a warning message and will have to enter a new slug

    • Use dashes instead of spaces between words. Spaces are displayed as %20, which decreases readability
