FAQ

Here you can create new FAQ page, edit or delete, translate into any available language, copy to another webstore, view it in the webstore and set as a home page.

When a page is filled in with content you can preview it to see how it will look in the webstore before saving it.

The tables below provide the description of the FAQ page fields.
