What’s the best way to replace one page with another? Should I simply delete the old page from outside of Freeway and rename the replacement page the same name as the old page? Basically, I’m trying to save having to redo all of my links, especially in the CSS menus.
Are you talking about deleting from within Freeway, or using an FTP application?
If you delete a page from your Freeway document, it will warn you that the page is linked to by other pages, and offer to replace those links with an external reference. If you do this, then add another page back to the Freeway document, the manual links to the page will remain in place, and as long as you name your new page (at the filename level) the same as the page you’ve removed, everything will stay the same. What you will lose however is the automatic link (at the object level) to that new page – so Freeway isn’t going to notice if you move that page to another sub-folder or rename it or anything else.
Let’s be clear here: are you trying to replace the page, or its contents?
You could just copy everything from the new page, move to the old page, and paste. Everything will land precisely in the same location as it occupied on the new page. The reference to the page will be retained, so none of your links would be affected.
