Step-by-step
Initiate Page Creation

Option 2 (From Live Site): Navigate directly to your department page on the live site, click the Department Content button at the top right, and select Add node (page).
Add Page Headings & Banner
Enter a clear, descriptive page title in the Title field (this becomes the main heading).
(Optional) Add a Headline to feature short, marketing-style text over your banner image.
Click Add Media to upload a new banner image or choose an existing image from your media library.
Configure Page Settings
On the right-side panel, update the Page Status (e.g. set to Draft while editing, or Ready for Review when finished).
Enter a Revision Log Message if needed to track your changes.
Set Up Navigation & Metadata
Toggle Provide a menu link to set a custom menu link title and description.
