Pages Feedback

Hey,

Whilst trying to make sure all my thoughts are gathered here in suggestions, I'd like to add one thing that I've found users struggle with, and that's adding a new page. As much as I try and communicate how to use master pages, it often ends up becoming messy and pages with various master pages.

I think to solve the issue, It'd be really nice to be able to set a master page for a top-level page, that the subpages either default too, or is just automatically set to reduce the number of inputs so users just have to worry about a page name, a slug being automatically created. I think this would drastically reduce the amount of confusion around how to do that, especially for larger sites with quite a few master pages.

Does that make sense? If I can help with any use cases or as always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Ryan.

Yes, you can do that. In the Settings tab of a page, you can use checkboxes in the Subpages section for "May use these master pages".
