Convert pages

Convert pages and subpages to different page types in Optimizely CMS 13. Map properties, manage child pages, and test conversions before applying changes.

📘

Note

This topic is for CMS administrators and developers with administrative access rights.

Use Convert Pages to change pages from one page type to another while mapping their property values. This helps when restructuring content types or migrating content to another template.

❗️

Warning

Selecting Remove property permanently for unmatched properties deletes the property values on conversion. You cannot undo this action.

Select Settings > Convert Pages when you want to convert a page (and possibly its child pages) to another page type.

  • Select Page – Displays the content tree. Select the page to convert. 

  • Convert the selected page and all subpages – Select this checkbox to also convert child pages of the selected page.

  • Convert from page type – Displays the properties of the page you want to convert from.

  • Convert to page type – Displays the properties of the page you want to convert to.

    📘

    Note

    Properties differ between page types. Decide how to handle properties with no match.

  • Convert from property – Displays each property of the selected page type.

  • Convert to property – Shows the default property mapping.

    • If a property has a match, the property is carried forward to the converted page type by default. However, you can change it to a compatible property by selecting it from the menu.
    • If a property has no match, the default is Remove property permanently. However, you can select a compatible property from the list.
  • Test Conversion and Show Log – Click to preview how the conversion will turn out before you convert the page type.

  • Convert – Click to convert the page type to the new page type.
