Managing Built-in Pages

Created on:
Updated on:

Built-in pages help congregants view, register for, and check into events, join groups, and give, depending on which Planning Center products your church uses. They are set up in the product that corresponds with the page, so they can't be managed in Publishing.

Check out this clip from Planning Center University.

Notice

If you don't have Admin access to configure a built-in page, you won't be able to edit it. Ask the product Admin to either make the changes for you or give you access to the product.

Publishing or Hiding Built-in Pages

By default, the products that you chose to display when you set up your Publishing account will be published to Church Center. You can tell which pages are published by their status. Unpublished pages will be shown as Draft.

If you want to hide a built-in page from Church Center visibility, find the page in the All Pages tab, click the triangle menu to the right, and select Unpublish.

If the page's status is Draft, you can publish it from the dropdown menu.
