Startup Pages

Startup Pages are the built-in pages that ngdpbase ships with. They are automatically available when you first set up a new instance and provide ready-to-use documentation, help pages, and system pages out of the box.

What Are Startup Pages?

When ngdpbase is first installed, a set of pages is copied into your pages directory to give you a working platform immediately. These cover:

• System pages — core navigation and functionality (LeftMenu, Footer, Recent Changes, Page Index, Search)
• Documentation pages — help guides, syntax references, and feature documentation for your users

You can view all system-provided pages at System Pages.

Customizing Startup Pages

Once copied to your instance, startup pages are yours to edit:

• Edit any page just like any other page — click Edit in the toolbar
• Changes you make persist and will not be automatically overwritten
• If ngdpbase ships an updated version of a page, you can review and selectively apply it via Required Pages Sync

Keeping Pages Up to Date

As ngdpbase is updated, some startup pages may be revised to document new features or fix errors. The Required Pages Sync tool (/admin/required-pages) lets administrators:

• See which pages have been updated in the latest release
• Compare differences between the shipped version and your live version
• Choose to apply updates or keep your customized version

Your content is never automatically overwritten.

Page Categories

Startup pages fall into two System Category types:
