Name

The page's name is exactly what it sounds like. Here, you have the option to modify the page name to accurately reflect the content the page contains.

The page name will be displayed in the Live App within dropdown menus and page menus where it is included.

The Page URL is generated based on the app's name. For example, to access a "Companies" page in an app named "Contact Directory", the URL would be:
