Custom URL
If a custom URL is used, it must only contain lowercase letter, numbers and / or hyphens. If you want to create a general "about" page for your app, set the custom URL to about. It will be accessible via a separate "Help & About" button in the navigation sidebar.

Page Hierarchy
Choose the parent page by clicking on "None selected". Search for the parent page and click "+" to add the parent page. If there is no parent page, leave this blank.
If the page you are editing is a parent page, the option to reorder the child pages will be available. Use the eight dots on the left to drag and reorder the child pages.
Click "Save" and "Publish"' to publish your changes.
Restricting Access
You can select one or more groups you would like to restrict access to on this page. If a parent page has been selected in the Page Hierarchy selector, the parent page's restrictions will be inherited.

Search Settings
