Understanding Pages
A Page is a single document inside a Guide. Pages hold your written guidelines, Blocks, images, downloads, and other brand content.
You can organize Pages using Sections and Subpages to make larger Guides easier to navigate.
Organize Pages with Sections and Subpages
There are three levels you can use:
Level | What it is |
|---|---|
Section | A group used to organize Pages. Sections sit at the top level of a Guide. |
Page | Holds your brand content. A Page can sit inside a Section or at the top level of a Guide. |
Subpage | A Page nested under another Page. |
Subpages can only go one level deep. A Subpage cannot have another Subpage inside it.
This keeps your published navigation simple and easy to follow.
Add a Page or Section
To add something new:
Open the Guide.
Use the add option in the Page sidebar.
Choose Page or Section.
Give it a name.
Pages and Sections you create yourself can be renamed, moved, or deleted later.
Move and reorder Pages
Drag Pages in the sidebar to organize your Guide.
You can:
Drag a Page up or down to reorder it.
Drag a Page into a Section.
Drag a Page out of a Section.
Drop a Page onto another Page to turn it into a Subpage.
System Pages and Sections are locked and cannot be moved.
Rename a Page and add an icon
Click the Page title to rename it.
You can also click the icon next to the title to choose a Page icon. Icons can make larger Guides easier to scan and navigate.
Hide a Page until it’s ready
You can hide a Page from your published brand portal without removing it from your Brand Workspace.
Use this when you are still working on a Page and do not want visitors to see it yet. If you hide a Section, every Page inside that Section is also hidden.
Any new Page you add to a hidden Section will start hidden. You can make the Page visible again whenever you’re ready.
Disable a system Page you don’t need
Hiding and disabling are different.
Hide a Page when the content applies to your brand but is not ready to publish. Disable a Page when that part of the brand does not apply at all.
For example, if your brand does not use gradients, you can disable the Gradient Page from the ••• menu.
A disabled system Page is hidden from your published brand portal and removed from your structured JSON exports.
Option | Use it when |
|---|---|
Hide | The Page applies to your brand but is not ready to publish |
Disable | The Page does not apply to your brand |
Delete a Page
Deleting a Page permanently removes the Page and its content.
Pages and Sections you create yourself can be deleted. System Pages and Sections cannot be deleted.
Understand locked Pages
The Identity, Verbal, Visual, and Motion Guides come with system Pages and Sections.
These are locked to keep the structure of your Brand Context consistent.
Locked Pages and Sections:
Cannot be deleted.
Cannot be moved or reordered.
Cannot be renamed.
Cannot have new Pages added inside their locked Sections.
This consistent structure helps Sameness, your exports, and connected AI tools understand what each part of your brand means and where to find it.
Edit content on a locked Page
Locked does not mean you cannot edit the Page.
You can still:
Write and edit text.
Add supported Blocks.
Add headings, images, code, links, and downloads.
Add a cover image.
Add an icon.
Hide or disable the Page.
System Pages also contain a Context Block that stores the structured brand information for that Page.
The Context Block is required and cannot be permanently removed. If it is deleted, the Editor will ask you to restore it before the Page can be saved.
Know what isn’t locked
Content you create yourself is generally flexible.
This includes:
Sections you add yourself.
Pages you add yourself.
Application Sections inside the system Guides.
Everything inside the Application Guide.
You can organize these Pages and Sections to match the needs of your brand.
Save your draft and publish when ready
Every Page has a draft version and a published version. Your changes save automatically while you work. This updates your draft but does not change what visitors see on your published brand portal.
When you’re ready to make your latest changes public, click Publish. Until you publish, visitors will continue seeing the previous published version.
