Getting Started with Structures
Structures can be created and managed on the Site tab’s Content Management subtab. The Content Management tab section of this guide includes step-by-step instructions on how to create and manage structures.
If you are ready to jump in and start building, head over to that section of the manual and work through it. Once you have created your structures, you can go to the Content tab to begin managing your content. Then you can jump to the The Website section of the guide to learn how to integrate your structures into your website.
If you are reading this guide sequentially, just proceed to the next section. You’ll eventually make it to the discussion of the Site tab.
