General
=======
This tab contains general information about the page. You
can change the :guilabel:`Page Type`, and edit titles for the page and the URL.
The :guilabel:`Page Title` is used directly to generate speaking URLs. It is
also used in menus and in the `
` tag.
When you specify an :guilabel:`Alternative Navigation Title` all other
instances of :guilabel:`Page Title` usage are left unchanged.

Backend layouts determine what content areas are made available for editors
in the :guilabel:`Web > Page` module. They can also be used to influence the
rendering of the frontend.
The :guilabel:`Show Content from Page` field tells the page to display the
content from another selected page. This is an easier method for repeating
the content of a single page than using :ref:`mount points `.

search engine :ref:. Use this flag to
exclude the current page.
