Allow “/” in Page URLs

This widely requested enhancement is great for SEO, as it makes it easier for site pages to be indexed and enables a more structured site map. By adding “/” to page URLs, you can use page hierarchy when setting page names. For example, the URL for the staff page on your site can now be: www.yourwebsite.com/aboutus/team/John

To change your page URLs, go to the Pages panel, click Settings beside the page you want to change, and click Page URL.

Other Enhancements

Expand / Collapse Pages in the Pages Panel: For websites with multiple root pages, this enhancement makes it easier to keep the state of each page while working in the editor; for example, when switching between the Pages and Widgets panels.
Stats Dashboard Addition for Better Tracking: Get a deeper understanding of how visitors reach your site with additional info in your Stats dashboard that enables you to distinguish between a site’s organic and paid traffic.
