Step by step

1. Open the admin panel and select your organisation

   Go to the admin panel. In the column on the left you will see a Website group in the navigation. Before you can do anything useful with pages, your organisation must be active — use the organisation picker at the top of the left column to select it. If no organisation is chosen, the Pages screen will prompt you to pick one instead of showing your pages.

2. Go to Website, then Pages

   Click Pages under the Website group in the left navigation. The screen that opens is your Pages list. It shows two sections: one for pages your site draws automatically from platform content such as events, news, and galleries, and one for pages you have written yourself. A Write a new page button appears at the top right if your role allows you to create pages.

3. Open an existing page or start a new one

   For a page that already has a record, click its Edit button to open the editor. For an automatically drawn page that has never been opened before, clicking Edit creates the record for you and takes you straight to the editor. To write a brand-new freestanding page, click Write a new page.

4. Let Daviah create the record if prompted

   If you clicked Edit on a drawn page that did not yet have a record, Daviah creates it for you in the background. It validates that the slug is a known carried slug, creates the record as a draft with the correct slug, sets Show in navigation to off, and then opens the editor. You do not need to do anything extra — this step is automatic.

5. Write and arrange the page content

   The editor shows all the fields for your page: a DrawnFrom note at the top that tells you what platform content this page sits alongside and links to it, a title, a slug auto-derived from the title, a status field, a Show in navigation checkbox, a hero image, a sections area where you add and arrange content blocks using all configured block types, and an SEO group. The live preview pane opens automatically so you can see the page in your site's own design as you work.

6. Set the status to Published

   Find the Status field and change it from Draft to Published. There is no separate publish button or approval step — this single field controls whether the page is live or not. Daviah does not use a drafts-and-versions system for pages; the Status field is the only thing that determines whether the page is live.

7. Save the record

   Click the Save button. Daviah records the time and your name as the last editor. Because you set the status to Published, it also records the publication time and your name as the publisher. The content and the publication stamp are saved together in one step.

8. Check the result on the Pages list

   Return to the Pages list. The page now shows a Published status pill and the note about unpublished changes disappears. If your site is live, a View your live site link appears in the header so you can confirm the page is visible at its public address.

What happens next

As soon as the record is saved with a status of Published, your public-facing site serves the page at its address. For your home page that address is the root of your site; for every other page it matches the slug shown in the editor. The Pages list reflects this immediately with the Published pill and an On the site indicator.

The publication timestamp and your name are stored on the record alongside the last-edited details. This means there is always a clear record of who published the page and when, separate from ordinary edits.

Good to know

Daviah does not use a drafts-and-versions system for pages. There is only the one record, and the Status field is the only thing that determines whether the page is live.

Drawn pages — such as your events or news page — exist to give you a place to add a hero image, introductory text, and SEO details alongside the content Daviah pulls in automatically. If your organisation was set up before these records were created automatically, the first time you click Edit on one of them Daviah creates the record for you, with Show in navigation turned off by default.
