Pages in SharePoint are modern, flexible canvases stored in the Site Pages library, used to present information and combine web parts into engaging content experiences.

Common Use Cases

• Intranet content pages: informational pages for policies, procedures, and guidance
• Landing pages: entry points for departments, projects, or initiatives
• Knowledge base articles: how-to content, FAQs, and reference documentation
• Campaign and announcement pages: change management, launches, or internal programs
• Department and team content: supporting pages linked from Team or Communication Sites
• Rich storytelling: combine text, images, video, and web parts into a single experience

Benefits

• Modern authoring experience: easy, no-code page creation directly in the browser
• Automatically created homepage: every new site includes at least one page (the homepage)
• User-created pages: additional pages can be created by users as needed
• Flexible layouts: multi-column sections, full-width layouts, and vertical sections
• Web Part driven: mix and match web parts to build rich, dynamic content
• Version history: track changes and restore previous versions when needed

Key Considerations

• Stored in Site Pages library: all pages reside in the Site Pages library of the site
• Pages live inside sites: pages inherit permissions and navigation from their parent site
• Member permissions apply: anyone in the Site Members group can add, edit, and delete pages by default
• Not standalone objects: pages cannot exist independently outside a SharePoint site
• Layout consistency matters: excessive variation can impact usability
• Publishing governance: page creation and publishing should be managed for intranets
