Adding empty pages and pending links to a hierarchy
The generic pages you add to a navigation view are blank HTML pages. They appear in the view with the Empty-page Alert icon 
. Such pages have the filename untitled or untitledn. For information on renaming them, see Naming files and folders.
Note: Generic pages are blank but contain the basic HTML tags required to form an HTML page.
Pages added are either pages with unresolved pending links or scratch pages. A scratch page has no pending links of any kind. You would add scratch pages to a navigation hierarchy simply to make it easier to link them to the hierarchy as a later step. (See Rearranging the parts of a hierarchy.)
To add a single empty page with pending links:
- Open a navigation view of the site.
- Select a page in the view.
- Do one of the following:
- Click the New Parent button
on the toolbar or choose Diagram > New > Parent Page to insert a page between the selected page and its former parent page. The new page is the child of the former parent page and the parent of the selected page. The three pages are connected by "to child and back" links--that is, pending links from parent pages to child pages, and from child pages to parent pages. - Click the New Child button
on the toolbar or choose Diagram > New > Child Page to insert a child page with "to child and back" links from the selected page. - Click the New Next button
on the toolbar or choose Diagram > New > Next Page to insert a next sibling page with "to adjacent siblings" links from the selected page--that is, a pending link from the selected page to the new sibling page, and a pending link from the new sibling page to the selected page. - Click the New Previous button
on the toolbar or choose Diagram > New > Previous Page to insert a previous sibling page with "to adjacent siblings" links from the selected page--that is, a pending link from the selected page to the new sibling page, and a pending link from the new sibling page to the selected page.
Note: If the page you selected is the home page, the only choice available is the New Child button or Diagram > New > Child Page.
To add a group of child pages with pending links:
- Open a navigation view of the site.
- Select a page in the view.
- Choose Diagram > New Pages.
- In the text box, enter the number of pages to create.
- Do any or none of the following:
- To name the pages something other than untitledn, enter a filename in the Filenames text box.
- To save the pages in a folder other than the same folder as the selected page, enter the folder name in the Folder text box, or click the folder icon and browse for the folder.
- To use a stationery page, select Stationery and choose the stationery page from the menu. (See Using stationery.)
- To use a template page, select Template and choose the template page from the menu. (See Using page templates.)
- Choose from the Parent menu to create pending links as follows:
- Choose To Each Child to create pending links from the parent page to each child page being created.
- Choose To Child and Back to create bidirectional pending links between the parent page and each child page being created.
- Choose To First Child Only to create a pending link from the parent page only to the first child page being created.
- Choose None to create no pending links to the child pages being created.
- Choose from the Sibling menu to create pending links as follows:
- Choose To Next Sibling to create previous-to-next pending links between any child pages you are creating. (A previous-to-next link is also created between the first sibling you create and the last of any of its siblings already created.)
- Choose To Adjacent Siblings to create bidirectional pending links between any child pages you are creating. (A bidirectional link is also created between the first sibling you create and the last of any of its siblings already created.)
- Choose To All Siblings to create bidirectional pending links between all child pages you are creating.
- Choose None to create no sibling pending links in either direction from any child pages you are creating.
- Click Create. GoLive creates new pages and new unresolved pending links. You resolve a pending link between two pages by adding a link from the source page to the destination page that reflects it. (See Checking and resolving pending links.)
To add an empty scratch page:
Select a folder in the Files tab and choose Site > New > Page. GoLive displays scratch pages in the scratch pane of the site's navigation view. (See Using the peripheral panes of the site views.)
To add a pending link from one page to another:
- In the navigation view, place the mouse pointer over the page you want to be the source page.
- Hold down Control-Shift (Windows) or Command (Mac OS). The pointer shows the Point-and-Shoot icon
. - Drag to the destination page. A new pending link is created.
The source and destination page can be any two pages. They do not need to have a family relationship.
To remove a page from a navigation view:
- Select the page. If the page you select has descendants, they will be moved to the scratch pane after you remove the selected page. (See Using the peripheral panes of the site views.)
- Do one of the following:
- To move the page to the scratch pane without deleting it, choose Diagram > Move to Scratch.
- To delete the page, click the Delete Selected Item button
on the toolbar, choose Edit > Delete, or press the Delete key.
