Building a page
Create or open a page, start from a blueprint, add and arrange blocks, preview, and publish.
A page in Basker goes through the same flow every time: create or open it, build the body out of blocks, check it in preview, and publish. This page walks the flow end to end and points you to the detailed page for each step.
Create or open a page
Start a new page or open an existing one to edit. Setting the title, web address, parent page, navigation and search visibility, and template all happen when you create the page — see Create pages for the full walkthrough.
Start from a blueprint (optional)
While a page's body is still empty, a Start from a blueprint picker appears at the top of the editor. Pick a blueprint from the list — it shows the placeholder Choose a blueprint until you select one — then select Apply Blueprint to drop its blocks straight into your page.
Applying a blueprint is a one-time copy: the page gets its own editable copy of those blocks, and later edits to the blueprint do not change pages already built from it. Only blueprints made for this kind of content appear in the list — a page shows page blueprints, an event shows event blueprints. If nothing is set up yet, the picker shows No blueprints available yet. with a link to create one.
See Blueprints for setting them up, and Blueprints vs templates for how a blueprint differs from a template.
Once a page has blocks, the picker no longer shows. Add a blueprint's content by adding its blocks individually instead.
Add and arrange blocks
Build the body in the block editor: add blocks, reorder them by dragging, duplicate, and remove them. See The block editor for the controls and Building pages with blocks for how the blocks fit together. Each block has its own page under Website Builder describing what it does.
Some blocks only appear in certain situations: event blocks such as Event Instances and Venue show up only when you are building an event page, and ticketing blocks for connected apps show up only once that app is set up.
Save a draft
Your work is saved as a draft as you edit, and the page stays hidden from visitors until you publish. See Drafts and preview for how draft, scheduled, and published states work.
Preview
The editor's live preview shows your unsaved draft rendered the way it will appear on your site. To compare against what visitors currently see, select View Live Page to open the published version in a new tab. Shareable preview links for reviewers are covered in Drafts and preview.
Publish
Publish from the top of the editor. The publish control also lets you schedule publication for a later time, or take a page back to draft — see Drafts and preview.
