Change site settings

Edit what the whole website shares, such as contact details, the footer text and the buttons in the header.

Site settings hold what every page of the website uses: contact details, the footer text, the buttons in the header. A notice across the top of the website is a banner under Marketing › Banners, where you can schedule it and choose its pages. Change them once and the whole website follows. Open them under Site settings in the sidebar, above Media.

Change a setting

  1. Choose a settings page in the list. It opens in a panel on the right, so you stay on the list.
  2. Change what you need. In a list such as the header's buttons, choose Add to add one, open one to change it, use the arrows to change the order, or remove it.
  3. Choose Save, then Publish, at the bottom of the panel, when it should reach the website. Press Esc or click outside to close the panel; unsaved changes are saved first. To publish several at once, tick them in the list and choose Publish, or choose Publish all above the list for every settings page with changes. Settings pages that need approval are left out; send those for review from the page itself.

To see exactly what the website receives, open a settings page and choose API response ({ }).

The list shows when each settings page was last changed, by whom, and whether it is Live or has unpublished changes. Like pages, settings are kept separately for each environment, region and language, so pick the right one in the header first. A settings page that has not been set up for that region and language yet is created the first time you save it.

Add your own settings page

Anyone who can change the schema can add one under Schema › Content types: choose New content type and make it a settings page. Give it the fields the website needs, such as a phone number, an email address or a list of buttons, and group them so each group becomes its own section. A developer then reads it on the website by its key. See Field types.
