Linking to a new page

You can create a link to a new web page on your website—that is, you can create a link to a new
page that Contribute creates at the same time that it creates the link.
Note: The new page appears on your website when you publish the draft with the link.
For example, if you are working on a page about your products, and need to create a link to a page
about a new product, but the page doesn't exist yet, Contribute enables you to create the new page
and link to it before you add content to the page.
Creating a link and the new page at the same time, and then adding content to the page later is
the preferred way to add a new page to your website. (The other way to add a new page to your
website is to create the page first, then link it later. For more information, see "Creating or
copying a page on your website" on page 45).
It's a good idea to create a link to a new page at the same time you create the new page. This way,
you don't have to remember to link to the page later, and you ensure that users will be able to
navigate to the page on your website.
