2. Fill in properties and metadata

There are a few essential steps to complete when you're creating a new page.

Title: give your page a title in the Title field, then go to the Properties tab. At the top of this section you’ll see two Publish Properties fields, File Name (used for the tree structure in the CMS) and Menu Name (what you will see in the navigation of the live website).
Note: always change the File Name to lower-case.

Metadata: to add a meta description to your page, go to the Metadata tab, then enter a 150-160 character description of what will be on your page. For example, the IMBE landing page has this meta description:
“The Institute of Medical and Biomedical Education is home to our undergraduate science programmes, clinical education facilities and technology enhanced learning resources.”
