Log in to add to favouritesPage 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.
