Furthermore, a page prefix or suffix can be chosen. When choosing this option, the child pages' names will be appended with this prefix/suffix.

The page title will have then this structure:

prefix + actual name + suffix.

titleSince Version 2.1.0

This has been a useful feature when using page templates in similar spaces, by allowing the copying of a single page into multiple spaces, as defined in a Space Shuttle category.

To copy a page to multiple spaces, select a page in the Space Admin browser and then by choosing one of the following options:

  • Click on edit and then copy page to multiple spaces
  • Click the copy page to multiple spaces button next to the copy button

First the page is selected from the desired source space:

UI Step

The spaces are selected by choosing a category previously configured in the Space Shuttle (in our case Customer, which contains 3 spaces).

UI Step

Then, the result is as expected, all the spaces in the Customer category now contain the copied page.
