FAQs

Q: What are Grapes pages?

A: Grapes pages are a new addition to Web Builder. Libraries can use Grapes pages to supplement their existing web builder content or switch to building content entirely in the Grapes editor. 

 

Q: Can I convert my basic/custom pages into Grapes pages?

A: Basic and custom pages cannot be converted into Grapes pages. If you wish to convert the content, it will need to be done manually.

 

Q: Are basic/custom pages going away?

A: All of your existing content will remain as it is. Grapes is a new option for web builder, not a replacement!

Grapes Templates

Creating Templates

With templates, you can create the structure of a page and add page elements, which can be used later for subsequent pages. Creating a template isn't necessary to create a Grapes page. You can simply dive into creating a Grapes page without creating or using a template first, you just won't be able to use the same format for other pages.

Create a New Template

  1. Web Builder > Grapes Templates > Add New.
  2. Save your changes. Once saved, you will see a new button: Open Editor.
  3. Build out your desired layout and add any content, if desired.
  4. Click the Save icon on the toolbar.

Use an Existing Template

To use a template for a new page:

  1. Web Builder > Grapes Pages > Add New.
  2. Select the template you wish to apply from the Templates dropdown.
  3. Save your page.
  4. Click Open Editor to build out your content.
