Working with the sitemap
First it would be important to understand what the sitemap does.

You will notice that there are icons that represent the pages of your website. The sitemap gives you the current structure or "layout" of your site. If the sitemap flows and the pages are categorized correctly, it will then be easy for your website visitors to navigate through the site. This is because the sitemap is tied directly to your navigation (Dropdown navigation and text navigation links). You will notice that when you move a page it automatically changes the navigation for you on every other page on the web site.

A working example

Now we will show you examples on how to construct and categorize pages correctly. Let us say as an example that you are selling shoes. You will notice with the image below that there are several pages that have already been built. included within these pages is a product page. Underneath the product page you will notice that we have categorized men's shoes and women's shoes underneath the product page.

Site Map

To move the pages from one location to another, you must first click on the icon that represents the page that you would like to move. Above the page icon the toolbar will now appear. See image below.

Move Page Icon

Click the move tool once and let go, you will notice that the icon becomes transparent as in the "women's shoes" example above. In this example you will notice that we are attempting to move the women's shoes icon to the right of the men's shoes icon. As we move the women's shoes icon over the men's shoes icon you'll notice that there are three arrows. We will click the arrow to the right to have the example now be categorized correctly. Please see the image below.
