Working with published pages

The Published Pages page displays a listing of all published pages. If there are permissions set, then the Permissions column contains the keyword Restricted. Users can set permissions as part of publishing a page.

The Published Pages page has all actions available in the toolbar above the list. You can search, sort, and filter to affect which pages are shown. To display more pages that match the search, click More below the list. All possible actions are available from the Actions menu. Actions that are only available for either single or multiple select are enabled when they can be used.

These actions are available in the Actions menu:
