Typo3 takes care of generating a search engine friendly and human readable URL. 

However, sometimes you'd want to edit the so called “slug”. To do this, click on the eye/chain symbol to activate the field and then do your edits, like removing "prof-dr-" from a professor’s page URL.

If you change the page title, you may hit the reload button far right to update the slug.

The value of this field will appear in menus instead of the page title. 

This is handy if you have a long title.

The subtitle will appear in a slighty smaller font below the page title in the Hero section. 

An example is given in the hero of this page.

This toggle switch decides whether your page will feature the Hero section which is a full width colored area between the main navigation and the page content. It contains the breadcrumbs navigation (optional), title, subtitle (optional), and an image (optional).

By default, the Hero section is visible.

Choose whether the Page Title or the Alternative Navigation Title should be shown in the Hero.

This sets the height of the section above and below the hero’s contents.

Set to none if you want to use an image and want it to be flush with the header and main section. 

Choose one of the preset color themes for the Hero.

Colors may be used at own descretion, but as it goes some standards have evolved:

• Dark: Default, for TUM-related pages
• TUMCS Gradient Green to Blue: Research-related pages
• HSWT Green: HSWT-professorships (not mandatory)
• Master: addressing Master studies
• Bachelor: addressing Bachelor studies
• Students: stud.cs.tum.de
• Black: Documentation

You may also pick a color by yourself. It will override the background color of the Hero Style chosen above.

Please select a matching Hero style for appropriate font colors, i.e. Light for light custom colors and dark for dark custom colors.

Select an image to display on the right side of the hero section.

Choose what percentage of the Hero’s width the image should cover. 

The image will be scaled retaining its aspect ratio.

For logos or square/portrait oriented images, a small percentage is recommended.

A short summary of your page’s content

Keywords for you page

You may add an author for this page.

This date is not automatically updated, you have to edit it yourself when using it.

The layout for the page you are editing.

The layout chosen in this field will be applied to all future subpages of this page that you'll create.

On devices with small screens like smartphones, the sidebar is not shown aside the main content to make room. By default, it is shown below the main content instead.

With this option, you can display the sidebar before the main content if desired.

Note that the table of contents is not affected by this control, since it will be displayed as a collapsed menu right after the hero section on small devices.

There are three width settings for the content area (4 & 5 on default layout): 

• Medium (Default): the main area is a bit narrower than the primary navigation
• Narrow: the main area is noticably more narrow, about 70 % of the window width. This is used on news article views, for example
• Wide: the main area has the same width as the primary navigation row

Same as above, but concerning the hero section.

Specifiy whether the page should be opened in the same window (default) or in a new tab/window.

This will turn your current page to a main landing page in the page tree.

If unchecked, this page will be hidden from search engines.

If checked, the child pages of this page will not be shown/collapsed in the backend’s page tree.

This will hide the page in the footer menu. 

This option is marked as deprecated since using the large bottom menu was dropped.

This will show a thin green line below the main navigation that gets longer as you scroll farther down, giving a clue about your reading progress.

This is used by default for news articles, for example. It is also active on this page.

Select which section’s content element should be repeated from the parent or root page.

For more information on link rendering in the table of contents, check the Headlines documentation.

Uncheck this control if you don’t want the Breadcrumbs navigation (Root » Parent page » Current Page) on top.

You can use this control to hide the page or select its visibility in the list module.

Use this field to hide pages in navigation menus, if you don’t want direct access to it.

This is used for single news article pages as they would stay blank if accessed without following the link to a specific article.

When an expiration date is set, the page will be unpublished at this date.

The date behaviour can be extended to child pages.
