You can create a web page from the Library toolbar or File menu available in the Library or any other document editor. When you create a new web page or open an existing web page, the Web Page Editor launches in a new tab and displays an empty web page (or the selected web page) where you can add and format text, insert or edit sound, insert images and hyperlinks, and so on. You can save the web page to any folder in the Library and then link to it from one or more documents anywhere in the Library. 

If you save a web page to the wrong folder in the Library, you can always move the document to another folder. You can also rename a web page saved in the Library at any time without breaking any links from your content to the web page unless the web page is in a package. You should not, however, rename a web page saved in a package, for this breaks the link from your content to the web page.

Note: The Web Page Editor does not support split views. In a split view, a tab appears for the web page in each pane, with the contents of the web page displayed in the active pane and a Click here to make this Web Page Editor active link appearing in the other. Clicking the link switches the active display of the web page to the other pane.

 Multi-user Considerations

• Any new document that you create or link is automatically checked out to you. If you want to make a new document available to multiple authors and place the document under the Developer's version control system, you must check it in.
   
  See Check In and Check Out Documents in Use the Developer in a Multi-user Environment for more information.

To create a new web page:

1. On the File menu, point to  New and choose  Web Page.
    
   or
    
   On the Library toolbar, choose  Web Page. 
    
2. Edit the web page to include the content that you want.
    
   You can create new content directly using the Web Page Editor or copy and paste material from other sources, such as word processing documents and Internet sites. Note that the Web Page Editor may not support all features and formatting copied from the source.
    
3. Save the new web page.
    
   You can also close the tab and click Yes in response to the Save Document message.
    
   When you save a web page for the first time, you are prompted to name it. Enter a name for the web page by typing over the default name. Although the web page name does not have to be unique, it is recommended that you provide a meaningful name so you can easily find the web page later.

To create and link a web page as a concept from the Outline Editor:

1. With the outline open in the Outline Editor, display the Player View.
    
2. Select the document in the outline from which you want to create a link.
    
3. In the Concept pane, click  Create New Web Page.
    
4. Type a name for the web page and browse to a location in the Library where you want it saved (if you do not want to save the package using the default name and location) and click Save.
    
   The web page opens in the Web Page Editor.
    
5. Edit the web page to include the content that you want.
    
6. Save and close the web page.
    
   The web page appears in the Concept pane for the document to which it is linked.
