Removing null wording from your page content area

We recommend you add text to your content area however, if you need to leave a page blank for a particular reason, when you save the page you may notice that the word NULL appears, where the content is missing. 
 
If you are certain that you want to leave the content blank, use your keyboard to type two spaces in your content area.  When you save you page it will now appear empty.

Page Settings

Select the Edit tab to access the Page Admin Ribbon. 

If you have clicked into the content area on your page, you will see the Content Editing Ribbon.  To close the content tools, select outside of the content area, or select the cross at the right-hand side of the menu ribbon.  

The Page Admin Ribbon lets you update many options for an individual page or item on your website, for example, setting archive options and additional page locations:
