How to select the destination folder when creating a new page?

[pokertour]

Hi everyone!

I've recently migrated from Wiki.js 2 to Wiki.js 3, and I'm trying to figure out how to select the destination folder when creating a new page.

In Wiki.js 2, I could click the + button from anywhere in the wiki (including the home page) and then choose the folder where I wanted to create the page.

In Wiki.js 3, it seems that the new page is automatically created in the current location, without any option to select another folder or change the path.

This is particularly inconvenient in our setup, where the home page is read-only for most users, but they have write permissions in specific folders.

Currently, users have to navigate to the correct folder before they can create a page.

Am I missing something? Has this functionality moved somewhere else in Wiki.js 3, or was it intentionally removed?

Is there a way to restore the previous behavior?

Thanks for your help!

It moved to the save step. In Wiki.js 3 you write the page first, then pick the folder when you click Create Page: that opens a Save As... dialog with the folder tree on the left and the path name beside it (createPage in PageHeader.vue). Pick a folder the user can write to and the page is saved there.

The path you see when the editor opens is only a starting value. A new page defaults to a sibling of the page you started from (page.js), so starting from the home page gives new-page at the root. Users on a read-only home page can still click New and choose their folder in that dialog.

The other route is the File Manager (library menu in the header). Open the folder there and use its New button, and the page starts in that folder (FileManager.vue).

It works just like any other application. You write your page first and then select where to save it at the end. The dialog simply moved at the end rather than at the beginning. This makes it more intuitive and what most users expect.
