A “summary” is the text that appears under the page’s link in search engine results, including searches on the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê website. This should be a one- to two-sentence summary of whatever the page is about. The summary text itself does not appear on the actual web page.
Files should also have summaries, as they will also show up in searches.
Edit the Summary
Open the page for editing and locate the Description field, underneath the Display Name and the Title fields. The Description field will hold the summary.
The summary should be one or two sentences describing the page (or file). It should not repeat the title. Summaries always appear with their page titles, never alone. Summaries also appear under your news post headlines.
Summaries Are Useful:
- They tell people what they’ll find if they follow the link.
- They can act as a teaser to get people to follow the link.
- They supplement a good title. Don’t just recycle or reword the title to create a summary; give an additional, useful piece of information.
