Page last updated 14 August 2026

Use the Site View node picker to select a single node from the Site View tree. It can link an entry to a page or define where something applies in your site structure, such as a redirect target or scoped setting.

To add this editor, select Resource picker from the content type builder toolbox, then select Site View node from the Select a resource type window.

The Site View node picker is available on entry content types. It only appears as a resource choice if your project has a Site View licence.

  • Descendant: any node below the selected node
  • Self and descendant: the selected node or any node below it
  • Child: a direct child of the selected node
  • Self and child: the selected node or one of its direct children

Leave the restriction off to choose any node in Site View.
