Enabling a page on Squarespace involves making the page visible to visitors by adding it to your website’s navigation. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you enable a page on Squarespace:

Step-by-Step Guide to Enable a Page on Squarespace

1. Log Into Your Squarespace Account

• Go to the Squarespace website (https://www.squarespace.com) and log in with your credentials.

2. Access the Correct Website

• If you have multiple websites, select the one where you want to enable a page from the home dashboard.

3. Navigate to the Pages Section

• In the left-hand panel, click on the "Pages" tab. This will open a view showing all the current pages of your website.

4. Locate the Page to Enable

• Look for the page you want to enable. This could be listed under "Not Linked" or "Drafts," depending on where it was initially saved.

5. Enable the Page

• Move to Main Navigation:
  • Hover over the page and click on the page’s settings (the gear icon) or simply drag the page to the "Main Navigation" section which is usually at the top of the list. This action makes the page live on your website.
• Configure Settings (Optional):
  • If you clicked on the settings, you can adjust various options. Ensure the "Enable Page" toggle is switched on. Here you can also set SEO settings, passwords, and other options relevant to your site’s functionality.

6. Double-Check Your Work

• Verify that the page now appears in the navigation of your website.
• Go to the main site view and navigate through your links to ensure the page is accessible and functioning as expected.

Additional Tips and Considerations:

• SEO Settings: While you are in the page settings, take time to fill out the SEO options. Add a page title, description, and customize the URL. These settings help improve the page’s visibility on search engines.
• Password Protection: If the page should only be accessible to certain users, you can set up a password.
• Testing: Make sure to test the page thoroughly from the visitor’s perspective. Check all links, images, and content to ensure everything is displayed correctly.
• Navigation Order: Consider the order of your navigation links; you can rearrange your pages by dragging them within the "Main Navigation" section.
• Hidden Pages for Future Use: If you have a page that you want to work on before making it live, keep it in the "Not Linked" or "Drafts" section until it’s ready.

Limitations:

• Template Restrictions: Depending on the Squarespace template you’re using, there may be limitations in how many top-level navigation links you can have or how they are displayed.
• Custom Coding: If you're using custom code, ensure that it doesn't interfere with the page display once it's enabled.

By following the steps above, you should be able to easily enable a page on Squarespace and make it a fully functional part of your website. If you encounter any issues, refer to the Squarespace Help Center or contact their support team for further assistance.
