Webpages sits under Marketing & Comms in the dashboard sidebar, for anyone
with an organization-wide Admin, Editor, or Editor (No Financials)
role. Building pages is the whole of what Webpages does, so read-only roles
don’t get it: an organization-wide Viewer or Viewer (No Financials)
role sees no sidebar entry, and neither do event-scoped roles such as Event
Editor. See User access. Building a page
with Nova needs Nova access as well — see Getting started with
Nova.
Build with Nova
Describe the page in a chat. Nova picks a layout, writes the copy, and wires
up the registration buttons.
Refine in the editor
Drag blocks onto the canvas, change the design, set your page address
settings, and publish when you’re ready.
Building a page with Nova
1
Open Webpages
Click Marketing & Comms in the dashboard sidebar, then Webpages.
The list shows every page you’ve built, newest change first.
2
Click Create with Nova
Nova opens with the request already started. Tell it what the page is for.
The more you give it, the closer the first draft lands: which event it’s
for, what you want the page to say, and anything specific such as “put the
sponsor logos at the bottom.”
3
Let Nova build the draft
Nova chooses the layout that fits your request — a single event with a
countdown, a set of entry options side by side, or a series of dates and
locations — and fills it in. It adds your organizer logo automatically and
builds every registration button from the event itself, so you never need
to paste a booking link.When the draft is ready, the editor opens on it.
4
Keep refining in the chat
Nova stays available from the editor — click the Nova button in the
toolbar. Ask for changes in plain language (“make the hero headline
shorter”, “add a sponsors row under the tickets”) and they appear on the
canvas as it works. You don’t need to reload.
What to ask Nova for
Nova can create a page, add and change blocks, rewrite copy, set your fonts, colors, logo, and browser-tab icon, and rebuild a website you name as a page of your own. It can also take a page down from its public address. It cannot publish a page, delete one, change a page’s address, or set a password. Those stay with you, in the editor.Editing a page
Click any row in the list to open that page in the editor. Four panels run down the left of the screen, top to bottom. Settings holds the page name shown to you, the title shown in a browser tab and in search results, password protection, search indexing, the search listing description, the canonical address, and the image used when someone shares the page. Elements holds the blocks you drag onto the canvas. Content blocks are Heading, Paragraph, Label, Button, Image, Gallery, Sponsors, and HTML. Layout blocks are Hero, Container, Columns, Spacer, and Divider. Two blocks pull in live event data: Countdown, which counts down to an event’s start, and Tickets, which shows races and ticket prices and keeps them current on its own. Layers lists the blocks on the page so you can find and select ones nested inside others. Selecting a block — on the canvas or in Layers — opens its properties, where you can edit its content, move it, duplicate it, or delete it. Design controls the whole page: heading and body fonts, page colors, corner rounding, and your logo. Generate a new style restyles the page in one step, from your saved organizer branding or from another page you’ve already built. There’s no style-only option for copying a website: asking Nova to build from a website address rebuilds the content as well as the design — a new page by default, or over the draft you have open if you ask for that. See Building a page with Nova. Ordinary edits to a draft save as you work — the toolbar shows Auto-saved. The toolbar also has desktop and mobile preview, undo, and redo.Publishing
A page is a draft until you publish it. Drafts have no public address and nobody outside your team can reach them.1
Click Publish
The page goes live at its public address immediately. Its status in the
list changes from Draft to Live, and its address appears in the
URL column.
2
Share the address
Copy the address from the URL column in the list, or from Copy URL
in the editor’s Publish menu. View in the list, and View live
page in the same menu, open the live page in a new tab.
3
Publish later changes
Every edit you make after publishing is held as a pending change. Use
Publish in the toolbar to push those changes live when you’re happy
with them.
Edits to a live page wait until you publish them
What happens: once a page is live, your edits — and Nova’s — stop reaching the public page. They’re saved to the page and shown to you on the canvas, but visitors keep seeing the last published version until you publish the updates. Password protection is the one exception: it applies to the live page as soon as you save it. Why: it means you can rework a live page in the open without half-finished copy appearing in front of your participants. What to do: when you’re happy with the page, open the Publish menu in the toolbar and publish the pending changes. If you want the page down altogether rather than updated, use Unpublish in the same menu — that removes it from its public address straight away and returns it to a draft. You can publish it again later.A page’s address is generated for you, and locked in at publish
What happens: the page’s public address is generated from its title plus a short unique code. A page still called Untitled Page takes its address from the title it has at publish time instead, so give it the title you want before you publish. Once it’s live under a title of your own, the address is fixed: nothing in the editor changes it, and Nova can’t change it either. Why: the address is part of every link you’ve shared, so it stays put. What to do: if you need a different address, build a new page with the title you want. If the old one is already live, unpublish it so the two don’t compete in search results.You can’t delete a live page
What happens: choosing Delete on a live page opens Unpublish before deleting rather than deleting it. Why: the live page is cached at its public address, and unpublishing from the editor is what takes it down immediately. What to do: click Open in editor, unpublish the page there, then delete it from the list. Deleting a draft is permanent and can’t be undone.Password protection is yours to set
What happens: you can require a password to view a page from Settings > Password Protection in the editor. Visitors then have to enter it before the page loads. Nova can’t set, change, or remove a page password. Password changes don’t wait for a publish. Setting, changing, or removing one on a live page takes effect straight away, so visitors are locked out — or let in — the moment you save it. Why: the password is a credential, so it’s set by a person rather than through a chat. What to tell participants: if you’ve protected a page, send the password with the link — there’s no way for a visitor to request it from the page itself.Registration buttons are built from the event
What happens: when a button or hero registers people for an event, the destination is built from the event you picked, not from a link you type. Why: it means a button can’t point at the wrong event or a stale link. What to watch for: if the event is unlisted it has no public event page, so a link to it shows visitors an error. The editor warns you when you choose one — link to the ticket page instead. If you want a button to go somewhere else entirely, such as your own website, enter that address yourself under Other. One exception: when Nova builds a page from a website address, the button it copies from that site arrives with its label but no destination — we never point your visitors at someone else’s booking flow. Tell Nova which event it should link to, or set the destination in the editor, before you publish.Text formatting is deliberately simple
What happens: clicking into a heading, paragraph, or label gives you bold, italic, and underline. Size and color can’t vary within a single line. Why: the page keeps one consistent set of type styles, so it stays readable on a phone. What to do: to change size or color, select the block and set its text size and color in the properties panel — that styles the whole block. If you ask Nova to rewrite a block’s wording, any bold or italic you applied to the old words is cleared, so re-apply it after.Keeping search engines out
What happens: Settings > Search Indexing controls whether search engines list the page. Why: a page built for one email campaign, or a page still being reviewed internally, usually shouldn’t turn up in search results. What to do: turn indexing off for pages you only want reached through a link you’ve shared. You can also set the description that appears in search listings and a canonical address if the same content lives elsewhere.Reusing a page you’ve already built
Use Duplicate from a page’s row in the list to copy it. The copy arrives as a draft named after the original with(copy) on the end, at the top of the
list, so the original stays untouched and live. Like any draft it has no public
address to share until you publish it, and it gets its own then rather than
taking the original’s. This is the quickest way to run the same page shape for
next year’s event or a second location — duplicate, open, and let Nova update
the wording and the event it points at.
The copy takes what the editor currently shows, so any changes you’ve made to a
live page but not yet published come across too. If the original was password
protected, the copy keeps the same password.
