Creating Pages

38779
1. To create a page of content on Scalar, select the “+” icon in the top-right toolbar.
2. From there, you can add a title (all page titles must be unique) and description for the page, then add content like text and media (covered in the next section) to the page’s text editor. Similar to other blogging platforms, the text editor allows you to adjust text styles and alignment, headings, font color, and bulleted and numbered lists.
3. When you’re done adding content, you can select “Save and View” to see how your page will appear on the front-end of your Scalar website. To edit a page again, select the pencil “Edit” icon in the toolbar to go back into edit view.

Page Layouts

In addition to the basic page layout that allows you to combine text and media on a page, you can also choose from a variety of other layouts from categories including general, interactive, visualizations, and utility. These can range from a Title page with a large “Image Header,” media galleries, embedded Google maps or Timelines, grids, and even more visualizations.

For more details on each of these layout types, reference the Scalar 2 User’s Guide on Selecting a Page’s Default Layout.
