Write a page

Write a page in the same editor you use for messages, at an address you choose.

6 steps · About 5 minutes

1. From the event's sidebar, select Content, under Share

   If it isn't there yet, it's in All features. The section appears once the event has a page.

2. Select New page

3. Give the page a Title if you want one

   This is what the page is called in your list, and what shows in the browser tab. It isn't printed on the page. If you want a heading at the top, write one. Without a title, your list shows the start of the words, and the browser tab shows your event's name.

4. Choose an Address

   The last part of the page's web address. Keep it short and plain, like faqs. Lowercase letters, digits and dashes.

   The address is optional. With no address there's no page to open, but you can still show the words on a screen a booker sees, from Customize.

5. Write the page

   The box is the same one you write a message in. It has bold, italic, links, two heading levels, bullets and numbers, and Insert for a picture, a photo grid or a button. Typing { at the start of a line opens the same menu. Pictures you drag in from your computer go in where you drop them, each on its own line.

   A button is Filled or Outlined, and looks the same on a page as in an email. Buttons on lines next to each other make a row, which can be stacked or side by side. A button can go to one of your event's open audience pages, and in test mode it opens test mode's copy. A button can also open the reader's own ticket, order or receipt, once the piece is on a screen that knows who is reading. A button or picture that goes to one of your event's own pages opens it in the same tab, and one that goes to a web address opens a new tab. In a widget on your website, every one of them opens a new tab. Put your own writing on a page lists where.

6. Choose who can open the address, then select Publish

   Once there's an address, a menu appears at the end of its line. Choose Anyone for anyone with the link to open the page, or No one to stop the link working. The change takes effect when you publish.

   What you write saves as a draft while you type, and the line beside Publish says when it's saved. Readers see nothing until you publish.

   Some addresses are already taken. If an audience or another page is using the one you typed, the box says so and names what has it.

Looking at it first

When you open a page from your Content list, Preview at the top of the editor shows your draft in your event's look, buttons and pictures included. A button to the reader's ticket, order or receipt shows as it would for somebody who has one. Back to editing takes you back to the editor with every word still there. It works on a page with no address too.

Preview on a page's row in Content opens the published page in a new tab, whether its address is open or closed. A bar across the top says which of the two you're looking at.

Changing one later

Edit it and select Publish. Until you do, readers keep seeing the published page, and your Content list says the piece has unpublished changes. No booking depends on a page, so the new words are live as soon as you publish.

To throw away changes you haven't published, select Discard changes beside Publish, or in the piece's menu in your Content list, and confirm. The editor goes back to what readers see now. A piece you've never published has nothing to go back to, so discarding it deletes it.

To take it down, set its address to No one and publish. The address stops opening, and everything you wrote stays where it is. If you've put the page on a screen in Customize, it stays there until you take it off.

Writing it in another language

If your event speaks more than one language, a menu of languages is at the top right once you've saved the page, level with its title. Choose one and the title and the words become that language's. The address doesn't change, and neither does who can open it: those belong to the page, not to one language.

Each language says where it has got to. A language you haven't started falls back to the one your event is in, so a reader always gets a whole page rather than a blank one. That's true field by field, so a title you've translated shows even when the words under it haven't been.

Emptying both boxes for a language puts it back to falling back.

Sending people to a page

Anywhere you write in this editor, select some words and press the link button. Pages whose address is open come first, by name, then your event's open audience pages. Pick one and those words link to it.

That link holds the page itself, so renaming the page or moving it to a different address doesn't break it. In test mode it opens test mode's copy of the page. A page whose address is closed isn't offered, because the link wouldn't open.

If you close or delete an audience that something links to, the words stay and the link goes. A button to it isn't shown.

Links you write open in a new tab, wherever they are. Somebody part-way through choosing tickets keeps what they'd chosen.

Delete page is refused while something links to it. Take the link out first.
