Creating and Editing Pages in SharePoint

This guide describes how to create, edit, and publish pages in a SharePoint Online site.

1. Navigate to Your SharePoint Site

You can access your site via: - Teams (Tab) — if added to a Team - OneDrive > Shared Libraries - Direct URL or Microsoft 365 App Launcher

📍 Example URL: https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/YourSiteName

2. Creating a New Page

1. From your site homepage, click on the "New" button (top left).
2. Select "Page" from the dropdown menu.
3. Choose a layout template or start with a blank page.

3. Editing the Page

Once the page opens in edit mode:

• Click on sections to add new web parts (text, images, links, lists, etc.).
• You can move sections up or down using the section toolbar.
• To edit a web part, click the pencil icon on the part.

4. Publishing the Page

1. Click "Publish" (top right) to make the page visible to everyone.
2. Or choose "Save as draft" if you're not ready yet.

📌 Only users with "Edit" permission can create or edit pages. If you don’t see the "New" button, contact your site owner or admin.

5. Viewing or Editing Existing Pages

1. Go to the "Pages" library (usually found in the left-hand navigation or via the settings gear > Site contents > Site Pages).
2. Click the name of a page to view it.
3. Click "Edit" (top right) to make changes.

Notes

• SharePoint pages support version history — previous versions can be restored.
• Pages can be scheduled to publish later using "Page details".
• You can set a page as a homepage from the “...” menu > Make homepage.
