You can choose between making your page Public, Unlisted or Private. Only public pages will appear in the menu. Unlisted pages will not - but you can share direct links to that page with your users. A Private page is visible only to you - you can use that option as a draft mode, when adding and editing new pages and before you make them public.
Template (4)
This setting will determine what your page looks like and what content you can add to it. When you select different types of pages, the fields below will toggle depending whether they can be used with the template of your choice or not.
Currently, there a 5 different page template available:
Page - this is the most versatile template. Using this template, you can create a complete page with a title, header, text/html content and a media piece (example)
Full window - this is the best choice if you just want to show your media content without additional text information. The media type you can add includes Kuula posts and tours, Youtube & Vimeo videos (both regular and 360), Matterport tours, Google maps and simple static images (example)
Splash - similar to full window, this template will allow you to add a header and title to your page and have the media piece in the background. This template works great for home pages! (example)
Grid - with the grid template you can quickly create pages that show a grid of thumbnails. Presets include: a grid of all your public photos, all your public tours or all photos in a specific tour (example).
Redirect - this template has no visual element. It will redirect the user to another webpage based on a provided URL.
