Create a blank page

“

- [Instructor] Once you've created your space, it's time to start creating content in that space, perhaps sharing that content, collaborating on it with other team members. And to keep all of your content organized, we can use a variety of different types of pages. That's what we're going to explore in this chapter, beginning with a simple blank page, which we'll use as a landing page in our User Conference 2024 space if you've been following along. So here we are looking at our space. You can see the welcome message down below. And really, we don't have any content at this point, but the content we're going to be adding should be organized into pages. And over here in the left-hand pane, we can see under Shortcuts, Pages. And to the right of Pages is a plus sign where we go to create our first page in this space. Go ahead and click if you're following along. Now, the new page that gets created uses a template. The template being used here is the same template that was used for our space. As we go over here to the right-hand side, you can see it's using the User Conference 2024 template, which was a blank space. So we're getting a blank page. If you're taking notes, this might be a good time to write this down. Down below, you can see all kinds of different pages we can create, and hovering over them gives us a nice little preview of what types of components will be added to that page for us using that template. But for now, we're going to stick with the blank page. It's going to be a landing page for all of the team meetings we're going to be having leading up to our user conference. We're going to have one every month. So we might want to title this where a cursor's flashing, to give this page a title, Monthly Team Meetings like so. Now, this is not a Meetings page. We'll add our Meetings pages to this landing page a little bit later. Down below, let's add a description, so people know what this is all about. How about something like, "Access meeting pages here to review meeting notes, action items in progress for all things related to User Conference 2024." That's a good description, and eventually we'll have links to each of the individual meetings showing up on this landing page. So let's click Publish to save those changes and update our space with this brand-new page. You can see we have the Monthly Team Meetings title. You can see who created it and when. There's our description. And we can do things like add labels, we could write comments down below, and have a conversation based on this page. So we have our very first page. Now, it's time to start adding child pages or subpages to a page to keep our monthly meetings separate from one another and organized here under Monthly Team Meetings. That's coming up next.
