# Edit and Manage a page

Everything you do to an existing page runs from one of two places: the ⋮ menu on the page's row in the workspace editor sidebar, or a drag of that row. Draft and published pages behave identically here – publishing changes who can see a page, not how you edit it.

The ⋮ menu holds **Settings**, **Delete Page**, **Edit Page**, **Duplicate Page**, and – on rows that can take children – **New Page**.

Edit Page renames; Settings holds the slug, the SEO fields and the page-level toggles.

## Rename a page

There are two ways, and they do the same thing:

*   Open the page and edit the title field at the top of the editor (placeholder **Enter Title**).
*   Or open **Settings** from the row's ⋮ menu and edit **Title** there, then click **Save**.

Renaming changes the sidebar label and the page heading on your docs site. It does **not** change the URL.

## Change a page's slug

The slug is the last segment of the page's URL, and it lives in the **Settings** panel next to the title. Dewstack never derives it from the title, so a page created and renamed but never slug-edited keeps its original `untitled-3` URL.

Slug rules are the same as for collections: lowercase letters and digits with single hyphens between words. Anything else is rejected with _"Slug format is invalid. Please use only lowercase alphabets or numbers and only hyphen between the words"_.

Changing a slug breaks existing links

Dewstack does not create a redirect from the old URL. Anything already pointing at the old address – bookmarks, support macros, search results, other pages in your docs – will 404. Get slugs right while a page is still a draft.

## Reorder and nest pages by dragging

Drag a page row to move it. The same gesture does three different jobs depending on where you drop:

*   **Drop between two rows in the same collection** to reorder. This is the order readers see in the sidebar.
*   **Drop onto a page row** to nest the page underneath it as a child.
*   **Drop into a different collection** to move the page there. Its URL changes, because the collection slug is the first segment of it.

Dragging is blocked while any untitled page exists anywhere in the workspace – Dewstack shows **"Unable to move the Collection or Page!"** and asks you to save that page first. The public site renders one level of nesting (collection → page → child), so a page dragged under a child will not get a URL or a sidebar entry.

## Duplicate a page

**Duplicate Page** copies the page's content into a new page in the same collection, named `<name>(Copy)` – duplicating "Authentication" gives you a page titled `Authentication(Copy)`.

The copy is created as a top-level page in the collection, as a **Draft**, with a fresh `untitled-N` slug – so it is safe to duplicate a published page and rework the copy. Rename it and set its slug before you publish, or you will ship a page titled `…(Copy)` at a URL that says `untitled`.

## Delete a page

**Delete Page** asks _"Are you sure you want to delete?"_ and warns that it will permanently delete the page **and any sub-pages under it**. Confirm with **Yes, Go Ahead**. There is no undo and no trash – a deleted page is gone, along with its revision history.

One constraint surprises people: **you cannot delete the only page in a collection.** When a collection is down to a single page, its **Delete Page** item is dimmed and clicking it does nothing. To get rid of the last page, create a replacement page first, or delete the whole collection from the [collection's ⋮ menu](/docs/managing-collections/manage-a-collection).
