Autonomous Pages Manager

From Elxis Official Documentation

Jump to: navigation, search

Content items that can't fit any section/category are called autonomous pages. You can edit them via Autonomous Pages Manager, which is very similar to Content Items Manager, except you don't have to select particular section/category. Such pages are very useful for personal presentations, or small sites that do not need any special hierarchy. You need to fill in Title, SEO title, and off course add some content as usual.
