How to manage your app sections


Structure

Your app is built from sections: articles, photos, events, forms and more. You organize them all in My App, Structure.

Under Menu, you find the sections of your app's menu, in the order your users see them. Home comes first, with its star.

Further down, Other sections holds the sections used outside of the navigation, like the terms and conditions and the privacy policy.

The two icons at the top switch the view… Tree shows your app as a map of its pages, and List brings the rows back.

Add a section

To add a section, click Add a section.

A window opens: What do you want to add? Search for a feature, or browse the catalog. It starts on Recommended, a short selection… All shows everything, and the other chips narrow it down: Popular, or a goal, from Publish content to Tools.

Under Adds a section to your app, the first card, Create with AI, makes a section from your own description.

At the bottom, a counter shows how many of your 120 sections are in use. Here, choose Articles, for business news.

Its details show the screens it adds, The list and Opening an item, and its price: Included… then What this adds: a section in your main menu, and a widget on your home page. Your app already has 4, so click Add another.

Name it, up to 32 characters. Here, Business.

Under Layout, choose how its list looks. Keep Condensed here: you can change it later, in the design of the section.

Move the section into sets where it goes: the Main menu, a Menu section like Watch & listen, or Other sections.

Leave it in the Main menu. Also show a widget on the home page and Display the section stay on. Click Add.

A banner confirms it: Business is added to your menu, and a widget to your home page.

A tab bar only has room for a few tabs. Behind its three dots, Business closes the list.

Order and place

To keep a section out of the menu, drag it under Other sections… and it leaves the menu, but stays in your app, outside of the navigation.

Now drag it back into the menu, right under Home… and it becomes the second tab. The order of your menu is the order of your tabs.

Settings

The dots at the end of a row open its menu. Choose Settings.

Under Restrictions, Private section restricts access to it, here to All groups of users.

Search Engine Optimization sets how the section's web page shows in search results: its Meta Title… its Meta Description Tag, and its URL. The Snippet preview shows the result. Then, Save.

Back in Structure, a padlock marks the private section.

Hide and delete

To set a section aside for a while, choose Hide in its menu.

It moves to Other sections, greyed out with a crossed-out eye, and its tab leaves the tab bar.

Make visible puts it back in your menu… and its tab returns to the tab bar.

Delete removes the section. Business is empty, so it goes at once; a section with published content asks you to confirm first.

The menu and the tab bar are back as they were.

Changes to your structure reach your app when you publish them, with Publish my project.
