Utilize directories to effectively categorize your pages that share common characteristics. For instance, if your website includes a terms of service and a privacy policy, you might want to form a directory named “Legal” and incorporate distinct pages for your terms of service and privacy policy within that directory. Consequently, your URL configuration may resemble: www.yoursite.com/legal/terms-of-service
This guide will cover the following areas:
- Creating and managing directories
- Handling directory settings
Developing and managing directories
You have the option to manage your pages within directories (also known as folders). You can establish nested directories – subfolders or subdirectories – for websites with a complex hierarchy (e.g., websites with information organized into multiple sublevels).
Establishing directories
To form a directory, access the Pages panel and select the New folder option.

Relocating directories
To shift your directories to a different position, access the Pages panel and rearrange the folder by dragging it to the desired location in the page list.
Note: Moving pages or directories to another folder will necessitate a URL modification. Consequently, the old URLs will render a 404 error page. If you intend to have the old URLs redirect to the new location, you must implement 301 redirects.

Collapsing and expanding directories
For easy navigation of the page list, you can collapse or expand directories by simply clicking on the directory name in the page list.

Managing directory configurations
Within the directory settings panel, you can:
- Place your directory under a main directory
- Define the title and slug of your directory
- Secure with a password all pages enclosed in that directory
- Erase an empty directory by selecting the “delete” trash can icon
Helpful tip: You can designate the main directory of a subdirectory within the directory settings panel or drag and drop pages or directories into a directory from the page list. Explore more about the Pages panel.
Note: Deleting a directory is only possible if it’s empty. If you wish to delete a directory containing nested pages and/or directories, you must first relocate or remove all pages and directories within that directory.
