Using Page Types

Each page in C1 CMS is based on a page type. You can select a page type:

• When creating a page
• When editing a page

To select a page type when creating a page:

1. In the Content perspective, create a page. The Add New Page wizard appears.
2. Write a title in the Page Title field.
3. Select the page type in the Page Type selector.
4. Click Finish.

1. In the Content perspective, edit a page. The page opens in the editor on the right.
2. On the Settings tab, select the page type in the Page Type selector.
3. Click Finish.

When you create a page and select a page type, the page gets everything that might come with the page type – page data folders, applications, metadata fields and default content

However, there are some limitations when you switch to another page type on an existing page. For more information, please see the Important Notes in the following sections.
