Page Creation with Limited Menu Interface

Copper Contributor

Hi

 

I would like to allow users in a certain Sharepoint site to create wiki pages. however, they are confused by all the menus and options ( page details, analytics) and on the 'New' button they can create new page, news post, space etc... 

I just want them to have the option to create a new Sharepoint page

Is there no way I can eliminate all these menu options for them ? 

 

Is there maybe a direct link to the new page creation function in Sharepoint so that maybe I will lead them to a read only page with a button to just click on new page creation?

@GaliGonen3555 To create a new site page in SharePoint site, try using the URL in this format: 

 

https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/work/_layouts/15/CreateSitePage.aspx

 

Share this URL with your users to create new site pages.

@GaliGonen3555 The above URL will create a new site page in SharePoint default "Site Pages" library.

 

If you want to create a new page in another library, you have to use the URL in this format: 

 

https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/SPConnect/_layouts/15/CreateSitePage.aspx?List={ECE43B3D-CB8B-4DC3-9373-F35B954B186D}

 

Where List={ECE43B3D-CB8B-4DC3-9373-F35B954B186D} is the GUID of a library. You can get it from library settings page.

 

 If you want to create a page inside a specific folder in a library, use URL in format: 

 

https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/SPConnect/_layouts/15/CreateSitePage.aspx?List={ECE43B3D-CB8B-4DC3-9373-F35B954B186D}&RootFolder=/sites/SPConnect/SitePages/MyFolder

 

Where MyFolder is the folder inside "Site Pages" library.

thanks! that's what I was looking for. is there also a way to link to a list of page templates or a specific template?

@GaliGonen3555 Which page template are you trying to use? Any SharePoint default page template or other custom page template created by you or your organization?

 

Above URL will create a site page using SharePoint default Blank page template.
