Page edit

Intro

Page editing can be divided into sections and described separately:

• Actions (in the top of the page edit)
• Right sidebar (page configurations)
• General (title, meta, etc.)
• Blocks section (list of blocks)
• Bottom buttons (for save and publish)

For a better understanding of the bottom button actions, as well as how changes are made and pages are published, it's important to know what an Intermediate Version of the page is. This concept is described in detail below.

Intermediate version of a Page

Actions

When editing a page, several additional actions are available in the top bar:

• Back: Navigate to the previous page.
• View: Open the page in a new tab to view it from the front end.
• MemSource: Open a modal to send the page to Memsource for translation or localization.
• History: Access the Page History section, where you can restore the page to any previous version that was edited.
• Create A/B page - creates A/B page for current page.
• Import Translations: Open a modal to import translations into the current language from the selected language in the modal.

Sidebar

On the top of the sidebar we have one image picker that can be selected for the page.
Right now, the Featured photo will actually play the role of the og-image and for meta information (for social media sharing and google algorithms).

Slug

Slug is the URL part that defines which page to open.
The first slug is composed automatically when saving the page for the first time and it can be changed at anytime.

There are a few rules to keep in mind when changing the slug of a page:

1. Do not use spaces in the URL
2. Do not use uppercase letters in the URL
3. Use descriptive URL slugs

Slug history

The slug history is part of the redirect system of the website.
The website will always remember the old slugs that had been used on the page, and will redirect anybody that enters a page on the old URL to the new URL. This was a feature meant to kill the danger of having dead links on the website (in case a page had been shared on social media for example and the slug changed after this).

The list of the slug history can be edited and configured in modal.

Slugs and multi-lingual module

Parent page

The parent page functionality is being used for building a tree architecture between pages. The tree architecture will affect a few items, as:

1. Slug

The slug of the page will be always composed of the protocol https:// + website URL business.booking.com/ + language if not the original one en-us/ + parent page if applicable parent-page-slug/ + page slug page-slug/, resulting in the url: https://business.booking.com/en-us/parent-page-slug/page-slug/

2. The breadcrumbs

The breadcrumbs of the page will display same tree structure as is being built in the URL slug

In section Other settings we have several page configuration, described below.

General fields

This section contains several text fields:

• Title (used as page name in lists and in title tag)
• Subtitle (used with page type Post, displayed on front)
• Meta title (used for meta and og attributes, for social media sharing and google algorithms)
• Meta description (used for meta and og attributes, for social media sharing and google algorithms)

Blocks

In this section you can build page with different blocks, as described here.

Bottom buttons

In the bottom of the Page edit you can see several buttons:

• Save: This button allows you to save your current changes as an intermediate version or draft. The changes are not published or visible to the public, but they are preserved for further editing.

• Save & Publish: This option saves your changes and immediately publishes the page. The updated content becomes live and accessible to the public once this action is completed.

• Save & Exit: This button saves your changes as an intermediate version and then exits the editing interface. Your work is saved, but the changes are not published, allowing you to continue later.

• View Page: This button opens the current published version of the page in a new tab. It shows the content that is currently live and visible to the public.

• View Intermediate: If an intermediate version exists, this button allows you to view the saved but unpublished version of the page. It opens the intermediate version in a new tab for review.

• Publish Intermediate: If an intermediate version exists, this button publishes the saved changes, replacing the current live version with the intermediate version. Once clicked, the intermediate version becomes live and accessible to the public.
