URL pattern | Determines the live site (presentation) URL where pages of the given type are displayed. If a site uses the custom routing mode, the URL pattern must be set to allow editors to work with the pages correctly in the Pages application, including features such as Preview mode, widget editing on the Page tab, or adding of links into text via the editor on the Content tab. The system builds the overall page presentation URL by adding the URL pattern to the Presentation URL of the site. |
Inherits fields from pages type | If a page type is selected and saved, the definitions of its fields are loaded and added to the current page type. These fields can be viewed and modified on the Fields tab. |

The page type automatically uses the site bindings of the given module, which you can edit in the Modules application. |
