This article discusses the chapter page builder feature which allows admins to customize chapter pages for their community.

Chapter Page Builder allows you to customize chapter page layouts and formats for your community chapters.

Accessing Chapter Page Builder in Bevy

Only users with Admin Dashboard permissions on Bevy can access the chapter page builder, edit the default chapter template or edit the chapter page for a specific chapter. 

The HQ admin can also access the chapter page builder via the Chapter Dashboard. When the chapter page builder is accessed via the chapters dashboard, any modifications made on the page builder canvas are only applied to that specific chapter. The default chapter template and published chapters utilizing this template are unaffected.

Chapter Page Builder can only be enabled or disabled in the admin dashboard.

Enabling Chapter Page Builder

In the admin dashboard:

• Select the Settings option in the left menu navigation.
• Scroll to the Page Builder section and check the "enable chapter page builder" box.

When chapter page builder is enabled on your site, ALL published chapter pages will inherit the chapter page builder template format and layout.

Disabling Chapter Page Builder

In the admin dashboard:

• Select the Settings option in the left menu navigation.
• Scroll to the Page Builder section and deselect the "enable chapter page builder" box.

When chapter page builder is disabled on your site, ALL published chapter pages will revert to the legacy chapter page format and layout.

Chapter Page Customization

You can customize a chapter page in two ways:

• chapter page global template
• single chapter page

From the admin dashboard, you can access the global chapter page template. Changes made here will apply to ALL chapter pages and have the same layout and format.

• When you make changes to the template, they are available any time you open the page builder for any chapter.
• When you create a chapter, the latest template is applied.

For existing chapters, that were customized beyond the global template, you need to manually apply the updated global chapter page template. In order to do so, go to the individual chapter page builder and hit the "Refresh" button in the top left corner. It will say "Restore default template" Please note that any customizations for the given chapter will be overwritten by the global template.

To access and edit the default global chapter template on your Bevy site, navigate to the admin dashboard and select the page builder tab.

Single Chapter Page

From the chapter dashboard in the chapter settings dashboard, admins can customize the layout and format of a single chapter page. Changes that are made and saved in a single chapter do not apply to the global chapter page template.

At the same time - if a single chapter page builder is further edited or customized, changes to the global template won't apply to this chapter immediately in order to avoid unexpected changes. 

Configuring the Template

Customizing the global chapter page template

HQ admins create a template to define the appearance of all chapters and sub-chapters for an organization. When you make changes to the template, they're available any time you open the page builder for any chapter. Likewise, when you publish a chapter, the latest template is applied.

To configure a global chapter template:

1. In the admin dashboard, select Templates in the left-hand sidebar menu.

2. Select the Edit default template button for the template you want to change.

Customizing a one-off chapter page

HQ admins can access page builder from the chapter dashboard to change a specific chapter. 

To customize a single chapter page:

1. In the chapter dashboard, select settings in the left-hand sidebar menu.

2. Next, select the Page Builder button.

To prevent conflicts, changes to the global chapter template don't apply to one-off chapter pages you customized with the page builder. After you save changes in the single page builder, you won't see any changes in the global template.
