Difference between New Page and Link Pages.
SEE BOX AT BOTTOM OF PAGE
The differences between 'make new here' (New Page) and 'link to this' (linking pages) are:- 1. Make New is making a new page 'from' an existing 'source (display)' page, whereas 'link to this' is putting links between two already existing pages. 2. Make New will create the same links as for 'link to this' as you say except for one difference. That is the 'Back' link in the clickboard. With Make New the Back link of the new page goes back to the source page. With 'link to this' the Back link is not changed. The Back link effectively takes you from a sub-topic to a higher topic. 3. From the blueprint the pages are made new first (top to bottom) and the last step is to do the 'link to this' ones, because you can't link pages untill they both exist. This also affects the look of the site because the 'less important' link to this links in column 3 will be below the 'made new' ones. Maybe I should change Plexel to clearly show this difference since sub-topics should stand out more than cross-links really. Both make new and link to this put a col3 link to the target page and a col1 link back to the Display (source) page. The only final difference to the look and operation of the site is the effect of the Back link. > After looking at this cat blueprint > > "cat breeds 1648 1466 (make New from homepage) > cat pictures breeds 418 372 (link to this) > breeds cats 588 523 (duplicate) > cat breeders 553 492 (make New here)" > > I looked at the site, and "link to this" and "make new here" are both in > the same place.
