Getting started with Uncanny Page Builder

Uncanny Page Builder is built into Uncanny Automator, so there’s nothing to install. Before you build your first page, check that:

• You’re signed in as an administrator. Page Builder is for administrators only, because Uncanny Agent requires administrator permissions.
• Uncanny Page Builder is turned on: answer Yes, enable Uncanny Page Builder in the Setup wizard (see Setup wizard and dashboard).
• Uncanny Agent is enabled (see Getting started with Uncanny Agent).

Create a new page

1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Pages > Add Page.
2. In the block editor’s top toolbar, click the Uncanny Page Builder button.
3. Click Edit with Uncanny Page Builder to confirm. Page Builder keeps the existing WordPress page content as a separate version, so you can switch back later.

If the button is missing, see Troubleshooting Uncanny Page Builder.

Choose how the page fits your site

The first time you open a page, Page Builder asks:

1. How should this page fit into your website? Choose Build the entire page with Uncanny Page Builder (recommended) to have Uncanny Agent create the complete page, including the header and footer. Choose Use my theme header and footer to keep your theme’s header and footer and have Uncanny Agent build only the page content.
2. Set up your page header and footer. If you chose the entire page and your site already has a saved header and footer in Page Builder, use them on this page or start a stand-alone page without them.

You can change these choices later. See Choosing a page layout for details.

Describe your page

On the empty canvas, click Start chatting and tell Uncanny Agent what you want in plain language. For example:

“Build a landing page for an upcoming webinar. Keep it to four sections: a hero with the title, date, and a registration button; a ‘What you’ll learn’ section with three bullet points; a brief speaker bio; and a final call to action.”

Uncanny Agent plans the page, builds each section, and posts a summary of what it created. Significant steps, such as saving the page or deleting an element, are shown for your approval before they happen. When it’s done, the finished sections are on the canvas, each with a name badge.

Name, save, and publish

1. Click Edit page details in the toolbar to set the page title and URL slug.
2. Click Save draft to save without publishing, or Publish when you’re ready to go live.
3. Use the device selector to preview the page at desktop, tablet, and mobile widths, or choose Preview draft in new tab.
