Creating and Managing AreasLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

An area is an object that contains a hierarchical structure of areas and pages. It is the object that is seen by end users in the top-level navigation area. As an area owner, you create the area in which you, or other authors, create pages and Web content.

You can structure content with folders. Folders represent an organizational structure without any effect on the navigational structure, whereas areas represent the navigational structure. You cannot create folders inside an area.
