The Pages tab under Settings is your central hub for site-wide Pages configuration: default layouts for new pages, breadcrumb behavior, file-type icons, and category-level options. Per-page overrides always win over these defaults — Settings → Pages controls the baseline.

How to access Pages Settings

Method 1: From the Pages feature

Navigate to your Pages feature (see Navigate to Pages)
Click Settings

Method 2: From the hamburger menu

Click the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines)
Click Settings in the main menu
Click the Pages tab in the Settings sidebar

The Settings sidebar lists each major site area (General, Accessibility, Calendars, Contact, News, Pages, Payments, Security, SEO & Marketing, etc.) — Pages is one tab among many.

Page Layouts

"Page Layout can be overridden per page." — note in the Settings → Pages UI

Default Layout for Future Pages

Pick a default layout that all newly created pages inherit. The Layout selector shows 5 thumbnails (visual-only, no text labels). The 5 layouts are:

Full width — single full-width content column
50/50 — two equal-width columns
25/75 or 75/25 — one narrow column alongside one wider column
33/33/33 — three equal-width columns
33/33/33 (variant) — three equal-width columns with alternate proportions

Click a thumbnail to select it. The currently selected layout is outlined in green with a "Selected" label.

All layouts include a hero zone at the top and a full-width zone at the bottom. See Page layout and Hero layouts.

Layout for existing pages

Switching layouts may hide previously added content.

If you change the default and want existing pages to switch too, click "Change existing pages to match default layout". The system migrates blocks into the closest equivalent zone in the new layout — most content survives, but verify a few pages after running the bulk update.

Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are the clickable links at the top of each page that show visitors where they are in your site:

Category Name > Section Name > Page Title

Display Breadcrumbs (3 options)

Choose one of three radio options for the site-wide default:

Always, on all pages — breadcrumbs visible on every page
Never on any page — breadcrumbs hidden site-wide
According to individual page options (default) — let each page decide

Per-category breadcrumb options

Below the radio options, each top-level Category in your site has a checkbox:

When breadcrumbs appear, include category names in these categories: ☐ Academics, ☐ Educational Support, ☐ Athletics, ☐ Clubs and After School Activities, ☐ Administration / Resources, ☐ Miscellaneous

Check a category to include the category name in breadcrumbs for pages within it. Useful for sites where some categories have many sections (deep breadcrumbs) and others are shallow.

File Type Icons

A single checkbox: ☑ Display file type icons before file names.

When checked, document and image links in your Pages content show a small icon next to the file name (PDF icon, Word icon, etc.) to help visitors recognize file types before clicking.

Best practices

Set the default layout once, not per page — it's the baseline; you can override it per page
Pick "According to individual page options" for breadcrumbs unless you specifically want all-on or all-off — gives you flexibility per page
Check file type icons on — small visual cue, makes downloadable content easier to spot
Leave Categories alone unless you're restructuring the site — these are top-level structural items
