Site Editor Pages is a page editing and page management tool in the Site Editor where you can create, view, edit, and trash pages. It shows your page content as part of the template instead of using placeholder content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Site Editor Pages menu is only<\/strong> available when you install and activate a Block theme<\/a> on your site. You can learn about the Site Editor in this support article: Site Editor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Site Editor Pages, you can edit both the page content and the template. The template is locked until you enable the template editing option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you will also find the page details like information about the page status (for example, if a page is a draft or published) when the page was last updated, the number of words on the page, and how long it will take to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to access Site Editor Pages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you install and activate a Block theme on your site, go to Appearance<\/strong> > Editor <\/strong>to open the Site Editor. In the sidebar menu, select Pages<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sidebar features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you select Pages<\/strong>, WordPress shows a sidebar with a list of pages, page-related shortcuts, and an option to create new pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find your site icon or the WordPress logo at the top of the sidebar. Clicking on this image takes you back to the WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next is your site title and a button that opens the Command Palette<\/a>. You will recognize the Command Palette button by the icon of the magnifying glass. You can select the back button if you want to go back to the main Site Editor menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Page list<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The page list includes all pages on your site that are either published or drafts. Each page in the page list is represented by an icon. Your front page uses an icon of a house. And if your site shows blog posts on a separate page<\/a>, the blog page uses an icon of a feather pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clicking on the page title opens the page and the page details sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortcuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the bottom of the sidebar are links that help you edit your site faster: Links to the 404-page template, the Search Results template, and Manage all pages, which takes you to the Pages screen<\/a> in the WordPress admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save status<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have unsaved changes to the page or the template, the save button at the bottom of the sidebar will be activated and highlighted with a blue background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there are unsaved changes to both the template and the page, you can review the changes before you save. Clicking the button opens a save modal where you can select if you want to save all changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The page details sidebar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
