The Site Manager is used to manage site sections, pages and files in the site. The Site Explorer user interface is implemented as an enhanced file manager.

Site Explorer tools allow to:

• create and delete files and folders;
• upload files to the server;
• download files to a local machine;
• manage page and folder properties;
• create and edit pages;
• manage site section menus;
• customise user group access permission to pages and site sections;
• view file and folder access permissions at the operation system level.

You can open the Site Manager from the Control Panel (Content –> Site Explorer).

All menus in the site explorer are created dynamically as a user gets new folders opened:

At the top hierarchy level are sites that are running on the system. To view or edit the logical structure of a site, select the corresponding tree menu item.

In the logical view, all files and folders are displayed under their titles (not file names). For example, if the /about/ folder has a title About us, it will be shown in the file manager as follows:

The Files and folders branch shows the system file structure. This view displays the real names of system files and folders:
