How to Add a Tab

  1. Navigate to the home page of the Web site.
  2. Click on the Contents tab.
  3. Click on Add New... and select Folder from the drop down menu.
  4. Add the metadata:
    • Shortname - lowercase, hyphenated two word name (ex. new-files)
    • Title - Title of the tab Remember to keep it short!
    • Description - Description of information in this folder
  5. Click on the Save button.
  6. Click on State:Private and select Publish.
  7. This adds a tab at the far right. To change the order of the tabs:
    1. Navigate to the Home page
    2. Click on the Contents tab
    3. Hover the mouse over the Order column. You can see the mouse changes to four-sided arrow cursor.
    4. Click and drag the tab folder up or down to move it in the desired order.
    5. Drop the tab folder when it is in place.
  8. NOTE: Only the admin user can re-order the contents of the root of a Plone site.  This also means that only the admin user can re-order the tabs that display across the top of a Plone site.

    This security restriction occurs because authors can't manage the Plone site object itself.  The order of the home folder contents is stored on the Plone site object.
