• List to view and manage page content in list form. You can also use List View to perform actions on multiple items simultaneously.

Click Preview to preview items that are pending approval directly on the page.

Note: This mode is only available if approvals are enabled for the page group.

Click Preview to preview how the page looks in a mobile device.

Note: This mode is only available if mobile support is enabled for your portal.

Click to display the page without the editing tools.

Note: This link changes to "View Template" when editing a template.

Click:

• Properties to edit the properties of the page. For example, you can change how the page is cached, apply a different style to the page, or control who can access the page.
• Style to choose a different style to apply to the page, or edit the style that is currently applied to the page.
• Access to specify who can access the page and what actions they can perform on it.

Note:

• The Style and Access links go directly to the Style and Access tabs of page properties. Another way to get to these tabs is to click the Properties link and then the Style or Access tab.
• The Style and Access links do not appear when the page is based on a template that restricts users from changing the current style or access rules.

Click to edit the portal template on which the current page is based. After you click this link, another link displays in this link's place, Back to Page. You can click this after you edit the template. It returns you to the page where you started.

Note: This only appears when the page you are editing is based on a Portal Template. It applies only to Portal Templates for pages and not to Portal Templates for items, HTML page skins, nor HTML content layouts.

To hide a portlet, item, or tab, select the check box next to its name and click Hide. You can select multiple portlets, items, and tabs for hiding.

Note: Hiding a portlet, item, or tab does not remove it from the page. It merely prevents it from displaying when users view the page. You can still see the portlet, item, or tab in Edit mode, where you can choose to show it again. Hidden portlets, items, and tabs are grayed out in Edit mode.

To delete a portlet, item, or tab, select the check box next to its name and click Delete. A confirmation screen is displayed where you can choose to continue or cancel the deletion. You can select multiple portlets, items, and tabs for deleting.

Note: Once you click Delete, there is no opportunity to relocate the tab's content to another tab. Be sure to do so before clicking Delete.

To move a portlet or item to a different region, select the check box next to its name and click Move. A screen is displayed in which you can select the region where you want to move the portlet or item. You can select multiple portlets or items for moving, but not a combination of portlets and items. You can move portlets to portlet or undefined regions, and items to item or undefined regions.

Notes:

• You cannot move tabs.
• To move an item to a different page, use the List view.

To make a particular instance of a portlet, including all its personalizations, available for use in other pages, select the check box next to the portlet's name and click Share. A screen is displayed where you can choose to continue or cancel the share operation. You can select multiple portlets for sharing.

When you share a portlet, it becomes available in the portlet repository under Shared Instances.

Note: You can share only portlets; not items or tabs. Should you try to share a non-sharable object, Oracle Portal returns an error message.

Click to add a tab to this region.

Click to edit the default properties of the portlet.

Note: Any changes you make to the default properties of a portlet are visible to everyone who views this page. If you want your changes to be visible only to yourself, switch to View mode and personalize the portlet instead.

If the page is based on a Portal Template, the Edit Defaults link does not display for any portlets that are part of the template.
