Can we create the page programmatically by using editable template

[MandaPavanKumar]

Hi Team,

      Can anyone let me know whether we can create page using editable template through programmatically. Usually we will create the page programmatically by passing the static template which is under our project but it will not serve purpose right. But if we want to create the page then obviously we have to pass editable template. I got stuck-up there itself can someone help me here please.

Thanks,

Pavan

Hi @MandaPavanKumar 

Yes indeed. You can create page programmatically with editable template too the same way you are creating with static template.

You can use PageManager class from page manager API.

pageManager.create("parent page path", "page name", "template path", "page title");

For more details about page manager API:
