This article will show you how to create a linked page. All a linked page can do is display a link to another page.
Guest Rights for Linked Pages
If your page is set up as a link, the page's guest view permissions will be set based on the destination page. If the destination page allows public viewing access, then the linked page will also allow public viewing, regardless of its own permission properties.
Additionally, if a destination page has disabled its guest rights, the linked page will also have disabled guest rights.

Ensure that Live Edit is On

Check the Linked Page box and complete the Link fields
Linked Page: Check the box for the linked page
Link: Paste the URL for your page or start typing the name or ID if it is an internal page
Link Target: Choose if you want the page to open in the same window or a new window
Use Menu: The link will use the fly-outs from the page you link to if it has any sub-pages and is within your site
Note: If the Use Linked Page's Menu option is enabled for a Linked Page, the subpages of the Linked-to page will display and any subpages of the Linked page will not show on the Site Map. If the page on which this option is enabled has sub-pages before this option is enabled, those pages will no longer display in the Site Map, meaning those sub-pages will effectively be hidden from both front and back-end users.
