Please see the documentation of the Aloha page link tag for more information.


Optional Manual Change

The rarely used “inpage“ functionality to pass object properties from folders or templates to pages via the context menu has been removed. If you have used the context menu option “in page changeable” on any folders or templates object properties, please create a new object property definition for the page with the same name like for the folder or template object property definition.
