### Advanced Page Properties
Editor can also add some advanced Properties for the Page. Therefore, the following Options are available:
- Canonical Link
Provide a canonical Link to point out the Source which should be indexed by Search Engines instead of URL to avoid duplicate Content.
- Alias
Editor can enter an Alias as Path for URL by keeping the Original Path in Backend. This can be used e.g. for Multi-Language Pages to have a Path in that Language but in Backend only use the same Writing per Language Node to keep Language Switch working.
**Keep in Mind:** There are no Special Characters allowed for this Field as it still is a Part of an URL.
- Redirect
Set this exclusively for internal Redirects. It can be used if a Page is outdated or should not be accessible.
- Set to temporary (302) instead of permanent (301)
By default, Redirect URL is a permanent Redirect (301). But by checking this Option also a temporary Redirect (302) is possible. This can be useful for SEO Optimization.

##### Keep in Mind
Always put a Section first, then a Grid Layout, and only then the Components you like. This causes the following Order:
> Section -> Grid -> Any Component
Editor can edit the Page by Selecting it and Choosing Edit on Top of the Viewport. This opens the Page in Editor View. Here, Editor can drag in Components by Clicking on the Plus Icon on the Parsys or paste copied Components in by Clicking on the Paste Icon.
### Publish a Page
There are two Ways of Publishing a Page:
- Editor can publish the Page by Selecting it and Choosing Quick Publish on Top of the Viewport.
- Or Editor can publish the Page from Page Editor View by Clicking first on Settings Icon in Top of Viewport and Choosing Publish Page from Dropdown.
But ensure that all Media on the Page, as well as connected Configurations and Experience Fragments, are published as well.
### Move a Page
Editor can move the Page by Selecting it and Choosing Move on Top of the Viewport. A Dialog consisting of three Parts opens up:
- In the first Part of the Dialog, Editor can rename Title and Name of the Page.
- In second Part, Editor can select the new Destination.
- In last Part, Editor needs to check and confirm the made Settings.
Afterwards, the Page is moved like configured.
### Copy a Page

Afterwards, Editor needs to choose the desired Destination and click on Paste. It will be pasted directly on the next Hierarchie Level.
### Manage Publication of a Page
Editor can manage the Page Publication by Selecting the Page and Choosing Manage Publication on Top of the Viewport.
A Dialog opens where Editor can first choose the Publishing Options and then, confirm them with Clicking on the Next Button. This opens an Overview of the choosen Options, which needs to be confirmed as well.

### Delete a Page
Editor can delete the Page by Selecting it and Choosing "Delete" on Top of the Viewport.
Afterwards, a Dialog opens, where Editor needs to confirm, that the Page should be deleted by Clicking on the Delete Button.
If an internal Link is refering to the Page that should be deleted, a Warning Message shows up. It is not recommanded to click on the Force Delete Button because the Link refering to this Page will then be broken.
Therefore, it is recommanded to Cancel it and [check those References](#references) (see below for how to do it) to do not Point on this Page anymore.
Once there are no Links refering to this Page anymore, Editor can repeat Deleting Process.
### Rearange Page Order
Editor can change the Order of Pages using [List View](/content/foundationNG/en/aem-basics/views.html). There, Editor can simply drag and drop the Pages by hold Mouse pressed on the Dots at the Ende of the Line of the Page and release Mouse when Page is on the Position it should be.
The Order can be reflected in [Navigation Flyout](/content/foundationNG/en/page-elements/web-navigation.html), as well as in [Footer](/content/foundationNG/en/page-elements/footer.html) Site Links.
#### Keep in Mind
After Reordering Pages, it is necessary to **republish those Pages AND** also to republish the **Page one Hierarchie Level before the Pages** that are reordered. Only then, Reordering can be reflected on Public Page.
### Work with Page Versions
For Storing a Version, Editor needs to select the Page using the Checkbox before Page Name, then click on Create in Top Bar and choosing Version from opening Dropdown Dialog. This opens Dialog to enter a Label for the Version.
After Confirming the Creation of the Version, it can be found by Selecting the Page and Choosing Timeline on left Sidebar.
When Clicking on the Version, three Options are available:
- Preview
- Compare to Current
- Revert to this Version
##### Keep in Mind
Versions are usefull, if Editor wants to try out Things on a Page, or do bigger Changes. Then, it is possible to come back to the stored Version, if needed.
### Check References of a Page
Editor can check which Pages link to the selected Page. Therefore, Editor needs to click on the View Icon in Top Left of the Viewport. In the opening Dropdown Menu, Editor clicks on References.
Now, a Column on the left Side of the Page opens, where Editor can see the Reference Categories. To check which Pages Link to this Page, click on Incoming Links. Afterwards, it is displayed which Pages are linked to the selected Page.
Clicking on the displayed Page Name will make the Edit Button appear directly under the Page Name. This Button leads to the Editors View of the Page.
