Page Types
Page types are the building blocks of the website. They are added to the content tree and connected with widgets to display content on the website pages
How to add Page Types:
To add a page type click the "+" above the content tree. From there you will see a list of page type options for the section of the content tree you have selected.
In the example below you can see the options for adding page types to the "Staff" folder. As a general rule you want to organize page types in child folders of the page you want them to display on.
In the following screenshot you can see the "Staff Grid" widget on the " Staff Executives" page that is referencing these "Staff" page types (highlighted):
To connect page types to widgets:
Click the cog wheel you (highlighted in red in the screenshot above) will get a popup and it will ask you to select the path to the page types it is looking for. Select the folder containing the page types.
