To create a new page in OU Campus follow the following steps:

1. Log into OU Campus with your campus Single Sign On.
   
   
2. Navigate to the area you would like to add in a new page.
   
   This should look like:
   
   
   
3. Click  at the top of the page.
   
   
4. A pop-up will appear.
   Select the new page type needed:
   1. Folder - This is to help keep your files organized and is not for pages! Folders are just a shell for content to reside inand is typically used for images or documents.
   2. New Primary Page - This creates a new page that goes inside of an already established folder.
      
   3. New Redirect - This will allow you to create a redirect from a page to another page.
   4. New Section - If you need to create a brand new section/folder for pages. This option will create a _props.pcf and index.pcf page inside of a new folder.
      
      The most common selections made in OU Campus are New Primary page and New Section
      
      
5. Fill in the page type pop-up. Fill in: 
   1. Page Title - this will fill in the Heading 1/Title on your page.
   2. Filename - this will form your page's URL.
      This area will not let you save if spaces, special characters, or upper case letters are used in the file name.
      
      Please note: Once a page has been created your filename should never say "untitled". You will need to rename the file if it says "untitled.pcf"
      
      
   3. Folder Name - if in the New Section template.
      
      
6. Click  to create your page.

Please note: OU campus does not know when you are done editing a page and when to make it live/when to list it in your site's navigation. You will need to re-publish the _includes/_nav.pcf file to have your newly added page show up in the navigation.
