To access the page properties, click on the :guilabel:`Edit page properties`
icon in the Docheader.
.. include:: /Images/AutomaticScreenshots/EditContent/EditPageProperties.rst.txt
The page properties that are available depend on the page type, your user
permissions, and the configuration of the TYPO3 installation. The default
properties available in the Introduction Package for the *Standard* page type
include:
* General
* SEO
* Social media
* Metadata
* Appearance
* Behaviour
* Resources
* Language
* Access
* Categories
* Notes
.. _pages-properties-titles:
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 to generate speaking URLs (user
friendly URL format). 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` are left unchanged.
.. include:: /Images/AutomaticScreenshots/PageProperties/General.rst.txt
.. _pages-properties-seo:
SEO
===
This tab is used for search engine optimization. It uses the cs_seo system
extension. See the :ref:`SEO Core extension ` manual for
more information.
.. _pages-properties-social-media:
Social media
============
The fields on this tab are used to enrich social media snippets for the URL of
the page. It uses the `typo3/cms-seo` system extension. See the
:ref:`SEO Core extension ` manual for more information.
.. _pages-properties-metadata:
Metadata
========
The fields available on this tab depend on how your site is configured. How the
data is used by the frontend depends on TypoScript which depends on your site
configuration.
Typically, you might see the :guilabel:`Abstract` field, and editorial
details like :guilabel:`Author Name` and :guilabel:`Last Update`.
.. _pages-properties-appearance:
Appearance
==========
This tab contains properties that influence how the page is rendered.
.. include:: /Images/AutomaticScreenshots/PageProperties/Appearance.rst.txt
Backend layouts can be applied to pages in the backend (the
:guilabel:`Web > Page` module) to provide alternatives to the standard backend
layout. In this way the backend page can mirror the structure of the frontend
page. Content areas are then in roughly the same place as in the frontend,
making editing easier.
Backend layouts 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 page. This is an easier method for repeating the content of
a single page than using :ref:`mount points `.
.. _pages-properties-behaviour:
Behaviour
=========
Fields on this tab set a variety of different aspects of the page.
.. include:: /Images/AutomaticScreenshots/PageProperties/Behaviour.rst.txt
Here are some of the common fields:
Link Target
Set the default Link Target for menu items linking to the page. You can
also specify for the page to open in a new window.
Cache Lifetime
Define a specific cache duration as well as assign cache tags to the page.
Some TYPO3 extensions can flush pages from the cache based on their cache
tag.
Use as Root Page
Indicates that this page is the start of a new web site. The page icon
in the page tree is replaced by a world icon (as displayed for the
"Congratulations" page of the Introduction Package).
Include in Search
By default, every page is included in the TYPO3 CMS built-in
search engine :docs:`ext_indexed_search/Index`. Use this flag to
exclude the current page.
Hide child pages in page tree
Use this option to exclude the child page of the current page from
rendering in page tree of the backend. This can be useful if you have a
lot of subpages.
Contains Plugin
Lets you define the page as a container for a frontend plugin.
.. _pages-properties-resources:
Resources
=========
This tab lets you link media files to the current page.
How those files are handled depends on your frontend rendering
configuration.
.. include:: /Images/AutomaticScreenshots/PageProperties/Resources.rst.txt
The rest of the properties on this tab are related to :ref:`Page TSconfig
`.
.. _pages-properties-language:
Language
========
This tab lets you control the visibility of the page based on localization.
For more information about translation, see :ref:`Working with Languages `
.. _pages-properties-accesss:
Access
======
This tab lets you control the visibility of the page.
For more information, see :ref:`Elements visibility `.
.. _pages-properties-categories:
Categories
==========
TYPO3 CMS provides a system-wide categorisation tool. By default
categories can be applied to pages, content elements, and files.
.. include:: /Images/AutomaticScreenshots/PageProperties/Categories.rst.txt
Categories should be created in a folder and then be assigned to
pages. The :ref:`content element type ` "Special Menus",
for example, can display a list of pages from a selected category.
.. _pages-properties-notes:
Notes
=====
Use this tab for your own editorial notes and internal comments, such as
reminders or to-do lists.
Notes display in the backend above the Page Properties tabs. They are not
displayed in the frontend.
