    Note: The steps for creating a page can vary, depending on factors such as the type of site and the permissions you have for the site.

1.2 Edit a page

Editing a page is like working in Microsoft Word. The new ribbon provides context-sensitive commands that enhance the experience of editing pages.

  1. From a page, in top-right corner, click Edit. This step is unnecessary if you want to edit a page that you just created, because a newly created page is already opened for editing.

    Note: If the Edit command is disabled you may not have the necessary permissions to edit the page. Contact your site collection administrator. 
  2. To configure the columns, sidebar, header, and footer for a page, click Text Layout and select the option that you want, such as Two columns with header. You can change the text layout later by repeating this step.

  3. Type the text for the page. 
  4. To apply a style to text in a page, select the text to which you want to apply a style, click the Format Text tab, click the down arrow bar in Styles, and then select the style that you want to apply, such as Paragraph. Repeat this step with other text to which you want to apply styles.
