2. To attach the new page between 'Macintosh' and 'Unix' click on the icon 'Create new page after this page'.

Q: How do I create a shortcut to another page?

Answer

1. Follow step 1 to 3 of Question 1

2. In 'Type' choose 'Shortcut'

3. In 'Shortcut to page' click on the folder on the right to browse for the page you want to link at. Alternatively, in the field 'Shortcut mode' you can choose 'First Subpage', then your shortcut links to its first subpage.

Q: I don't understand what the difference of a 'page' and a 'page content' is

Answer

A 'page' represents a webpage in Typo3. The 'page' does not itself contain the content you want to display on your webpage. The page tree shows a hierarchical view of every page on your webpage.

'Page contents' consist of what you want to display on your page e.g. a text and an image.
