Page titles, navigation labels, and URLs

Documentation / Pages and navigation

A concise menu label and a descriptive page heading can differ. The page settings keep these values separate so you do not have to force one string to serve every purpose.

Choose the right field

• Nav Title identifies the page in navigation.
• Page Title supplies the canonical page title used by the page header.
• Tagline and Page Subtitle supply supporting header text.
• SEO Title and SEO Description provide search metadata.
• URL defines the page address or its editable slug within a parent path.

Do not change the SEO title to fix a visible custom header. Reviewed custom headers bind to canonical page metadata. Search-facing titles are a separate layer.

Edit the address carefully

Open Edit page metadata, change the relevant fields, and save. For a nested page, the parent path can appear read-only while you edit only the final slug. Its position in the tree contributes to the full route.

Use Redirect From (old URLs → this page) when you need old addresses to continue reaching this page. Review redirects as part of the rename; do not assume every external bookmark or hard-coded link follows the change automatically. Redirect To (this page → elsewhere) has the opposite effect: it sends visitors away instead of displaying this page.

After saving, inspect the navigation label, visible header, browser title, and final address separately. Test the previous URL if you configured a redirect. Keep short labels readable on mobile and check longer header text for wrapping.
