The page status is comprised of both activation status as well as workflow status, if workflows are configured.
Inline editing of page attributes
Some page attributes shown in the list or structure views may be edited directly within the view. Among these are the page URL, the page name and navigation title. To enter inline editing, select an item, then click or tap on it again after a short delay (to avoid actually double-clicking it) or hit ENTER on the keyboard.
The attribute you clicked or tapped on will then become editable. When using the keyboard only, the first attribute of all editable attributes in the currently selected row or of the currently selected item becomes editable.
Inline editing restricted to simple attributes
Note that <b>inline editing will be restricted to work for simple attributes only</b>. While e.g. changing a page template in the structure view was possible in previous versions of Magnolia, it won't be supported starting with version 5. Changing a page template can be a complex operation and may require you to enter values for required attributes, both of which is not viable using inline editing. Complex page attributes thus may only be changed by actually editing the page properties in a dialog or by opening the page for editing.

Quickly find a page
In the list view, a search box allows to search for pages. Search results are shown immediately in the list view and may be further filtered and sorted using the options available there. There's no <b>no search option in the structure/tree view view</b> - the user shall change to the list view to run a search.

Alternatively, this search can be restricted to work on only one of these elements.
Grouping a set of pages
In the list view, the pages displayed may be grouped according to various criteria. Currently discussed is the grouping by tag, by author, by site and by template. Note that pages may show up in more than one group.
