# Offsite Page

Link to an external site from your website's navigation menu with RapidWeaver's built-in Offsite Page

The Offsite Page type allows you to create a link to an external web page that's displayed in your website's navigation menu. This is useful for linking to pages that were not built in RapidWeaver yet should be prominently displayed in your website's navigation. Some examples might include an eCommerce page built with a third-party service, an image gallery hosted by a third-party photo sharing site, or a donations page created with a third-party fundraising platform.

### Getting Started

In order to add an Offsite Page type to your RapidWeaver project, simply add the page type to your Page List, then give the page a name. This page name will be displayed in your website's navigation menu. In the below example we will be adding an Offsite Page that links to a third-party website that sells piano scores (sheet music).

Next, add the URL to the external site in the **Inspector** > **Offsite Page** > **Offsite Options** ([**Option-Command-6**](/classic/user-manual/keyboard-shortcuts.md)).

You should now see the link in your website's navigation menu. When clicked, visitors will be redirected to the external site.

If you'd like for the link to open the external site in a new browser tab, you can go to **Inspector** > **General Settings** > check the box **"Open in new window"** ([**Option-Command-1**](/classic/user-manual/keyboard-shortcuts.md)).

Your linked page should now open in a new browser tab.

### Important note;

By default the Offsite page plugin links directly to a URL, RapidWeaver will not create a file for this page.

If you check the “Use Redirect Page” option, RapidWeaver will create a file for the page and run a redirect script when a user views that page.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/classic/user-manual/page-types/offsite-page.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
