How
you change the properties of a page depends on what type of page you
are editing. The following sections cover the different options.
Edit Properties of a Wiki Page
A wiki page by default does
not have any properties except for the file name, which is also shown
as the page’s title. It is very important to select a good file name
for a wiki page because renaming the page breaks links to it.
To
rename a wiki page, open it in your browser and switch to the Page
ribbon. Then click on the Edit button to switch to editing mode, and
then switch again to the Page ribbon and click on the Rename Page
button, as shown in Figure 1.
If the wiki page
library is configured to have properties for the pages, the Edit
Properties button in the Page ribbon becomes available. If you click
it, you see a page where you can edit the properties of the page.
Edit Properties of a Web Part Page
To
edit the properties of a web part page, open the page in your browser
and switch to the Page ribbon. In the ribbon, click the Title Bar
Properties button in the Page Actions section of the ribbon. A panel
opens on the right of the page, allowing you to set the page’s title,
caption, description, and image (see Figure 2). (To set an image, type the link to the image in the Image Link box.)
Edit Properties of a Publishing Page
To edit the properties of a
publishing page, open the page in your browser, switch to the Page
ribbon, and click the Edit Properties button, as shown in Figure 3.
The properties page for the page opens (see Figure 4).
This page allows you to change all the properties set for the page,
just as if you were editing a file. You can edit the page’s content
type, title, and other properties that may be required for that type of
page (depending on the selected content type). When you’re done, either
click the Save button at the bottom of the page or use the Save button
in the Edit ribbon at the top of the page.
