Pages are created via the Add It wizard. Click the Add It button in the top right to start:
Once the wizard loads confirm or choose the workspace you want to add to.
To add a Page, choose Site Pages, then choose the visual layout based on the type of content you're going to create. When selecting your style you automatically get presented with a preview for the chosen page style.
- To understand the choices available here, please refer to the following article: Page content types from Add It explained
Once you're happy with your layout choice, hit next and fill in the metadata tags for your new page. Certain metadata will only be available for certain types of content so they are not shown here.
- For instructions on creating specific types of page, including their specific metadata tags, see the individual articles below:
You must fill the Title field (as well as all mandatory metadata) to enable the submit button. Different page types have slightly different metadata - for example Knowledge Pages have Information Type while News Pages have a News Type instead. The global metadata is the same across all types of page - if you do not need to match the content to a specific Location or Department for example you can just leave the default value:
Next you can fill in the Optional metadata section if needed:
You can also set the Security settings to limit who can edit the specific page:
Once you are happy with your selections click Submit at the bottom of the page. You will be redirected to your page and you can start editing the content.
For more information on editing the page itself please see: Editing Modern Atlas pages
When you are done, either click Publish in the top right to make the page available to all users:
Or, if you want to save your changes for another Editor to review without making the page available to everyone, click Save as Draft in the top left:

If a page has already been published, but now is edited and saved as a draft, can only the author see the changes in that version, or can all owners see those changes? How can an author share a draft page with other approvers for viewing before publishing it? We were able to do this our prior SW.
Hi Linda, thanks for your question!
This behaviour will depend on the settings for the library you're working in. If you go to the Library Settings, then Versioning settings, you'll be able to see the configuration under the Draft Item Security heading.
As long as you have Approval turned on (at the top of the same config screen) you'll be able to set the Draft security so that only the editor and the approvers can see the draft.
The easiest way for a user to then share the draft with approvers is to simply copy the link to the page and share it via Teams chat. You could also set up workflow using Power Automate to do this automatically. We have an article on Zendesk which explains how to set this up if you'd like to go down that route: Request approval in Teams for a selected item in SharePoint – Atlas by ClearPeople (zendesk.com)
I hope that helps.
