4. Add Pages to the Folder

Once the folder is created, you can add pages to it. These pages will appear as items in the folder's drop-down menu.

5. Password-Protect the Folder (Optional)

You can password-protect the folder if you want to restrict access to its pages.

Visitors will need to enter a username and password before they can access the pages in the folder.

6. Manage the Default Index Page

Each new folder automatically includes a page called Index.

The Index page is required for the folder to function and cannot be deleted. However, you can:

  • Hide it from the menu.

  • Rename it.

  • Add content to it.

Troubleshooting / FAQs

What is a folder used for?

A folder groups multiple pages under one menu item. When visitors hover over the folder name, its pages appear in a drop-down menu.

Can I delete the Index page?

No. Every folder requires an Index page to function. You can hide or rename it instead.

Can I protect a folder with a password?

Yes. You can optionally password-protect a folder so visitors must enter a username and password to access its pages.

How can I check if my drop-down menu works?

Click Preview or publish your website, then hover over the folder name in the navigation menu.

Summary / Next Steps

Create a folder to group related pages under a single navigation item. Add your pages to the folder, customize the Index page if needed, and use Preview to check the resulting drop-down menu.
