Overview of the Changes

Previously site sections were only available for the Medschool site. Over the last year we heard from our users and site section owners that the navigation menu is not intuitive and adding pages into the site sections is difficult. We have resigned the site sections taking this feedback into account and we are now able to offer this functionally to all sites. Site owners should complete a General Support Request to have a site section landing page added to their site. We have redesigned the site sections navigation menu and the header of the landing page to be more distinctive.

When the Changes will Occur

This new functionality will be available as soon as the Web Platform 2.0 updates are applied to your site. 

What’s Changing

1. New menu on all content types.  
2. Adding new pages via the page menu. 
3. URLs and breadcrumbs will accurately reflect the location of the page in the site structure. 
4. New header banner. 
5. If you need a new site section created please submit a request.
