Frequently Asked Questions

Femlify is a cloud-based school management system designed to help schools manage academics, students, staff, billing, and reports in one place. It brings all your operations into one simple dashboard.

Femlify is built for flexibility. It is perfect for Primary and Secondary (K-12) schools, Private Academies and Training Institutes, Diploma Awarding Institutions, and Higher Education Institutions (Universities & Polytechnics).

No. Femlify is very easy to use and does not require any technical skills. We designed the setup and daily usage to be simple and guided. If you can use email or social media, you can use Femlify.

Your school can be fully set up in minutes. You simply create an account, add your classes and subjects, and start enrolling students.

No. Femlify is 100% cloud-based. You can access it from any web browser on a laptop, tablet, or phone. You do not need to buy servers or hire an IT team.

Yes. If you own multiple schools or campuses, you can use our Multi-School Dashboard to manage them all from a single login.

Femlify uses a flexible, term-based pricing model. You pay specified activation fee for the term according to the plan, plus a per-student enrollment fee for that term. There are no annual license fees—you're only charged for students actively enrolled each term.

We split our pricing this way to keep things flexible and fair. The term activation fee unlocks all our powerful term-management tools so you can start setting things up immediately. The rest of the cost is simply spread across the active students you enroll, meaning you only pay for what you actually use.

Think of it like a prepaid meter. You fund your school's wallet at the start of the term. When you enroll a student into the new term, the system deducts the fee for that student from your wallet. This ensures you never pay for empty seats or students who have left.

Per-student pricing is charged using a true-up system. The system transparently checks for billable students and records them before any billing occurs.

Femlify does not automatically remove money from your wallet unless a student becomes billable. A student becomes billable when an action is triggered to perform specific activities for the student for the term.

If there is an outstanding true-up yet to be settled, your school has a grace period of 7 days before write access is disabled. During this restriction, you can still read existing data and view reports, but you will not be able to perform new write actions until the balance is settled.

Yes! You can set up your school, configure settings, and explore the platform with a zero balance in your wallet. However, term activation is required to start feeding in core term data like attendance and assessments. If a term is not activated, it will not show up under the list of available terms during actions.

Absolutely! If you're managing a large school with a significant number of students, we'd love to offer you a custom discount. Just reach out to our friendly team at support@femlify.com and we'll get you sorted out.

Instead of a limited free plan, Femlify is designed to grow with your school without any big upfront costs. Through our wallet system, we can provide complimentary credits that let you explore the platform fully before committing. We have several great programs available for this—just drop us a message at support@femlify.com and we'll gladly share the details!

Yes. Femlify is mobile-friendly and works on phones, tablets, and computers. We also have a dedicated mobile app.

Yes. Parents get secure access to view results, attendance, and academic updates through the parent portal or mobile app.

Yes. Femlify uses role-based access control. This means teachers, admins, and bursars only see what they are allowed to access. For example, a teacher cannot view the school's bank balance.

Students can log in to view their assignments, download lesson notes, check their results, and take CBT exams.

We offer NFC-enabled ID cards. Security guards can scan the parent's card or the student's card at the gate to verify authorization before a child leaves the premises.

Yes. Each school’s data is secure, private, and isolated. Femlify uses secure cloud infrastructure with regular backups to prevent data loss.

We provide comprehensive support. You have access to a dedicated Knowledge Base with video tutorials, email support, and a direct line for urgent issues.

Yes. Your data belongs to you. You can export your student records and financial reports to Excel or PDF formats at any time.

Admissions covers the application process — campaigns, forms, and the applicant pipeline (Draft → Applied → Accepted). Enrollment is the term-based process of placing an accepted (or existing) student into a specific class, arm, and stream for a given academic term, with subject selection and fee invoice generation.

Yes. Femlify's admission portal is fully mobile-responsive. Parents can apply from any device, fill in the admission form, and upload required documents directly from their camera or gallery.

An internal application is one created by school staff on behalf of a walk-in parent. The application fee is automatically waived. Staff select the campaign (which loads the correct form) and fill in the applicant's details. The application is then processed through the same pipeline as public applications.

When you change an application status to Accepted, Femlify automatically creates a student record with all information from the admission form pre-filled. You can then enroll the student into a class and term through the Enrollment module.

Yes. You can run multiple campaigns simultaneously — for example a JSS1 intake campaign and a SSS1 intake campaign. Each has its own form, fee, date range, and applicant pipeline.

Term-based enrollment means students are enrolled into a specific academic term (e.g. 2025/2026 First Term) rather than just into the school in general. This allows Femlify to know which class a student is in for each term, track their subjects that term, generate the correct invoices, and produce accurate report cards.

When enrolling a student, you can check 'New Student (Fresher)' to tag them as a newly admitted student. This flag is used by fee schedules configured with 'Mandatory for Freshers' — those fees will only apply to students with this flag, not to returning students.

During enrollment, you see all subjects offered for the student's class level that term. Mandatory subjects are pre-checked and cannot be removed. Optional subjects can be selected individually or using 'Use Group Rules' which automatically applies your subject group curriculum limits — for example, 'choose exactly 1 from Regional Languages'.

Subject groups (e.g. Regional Languages, Religious Studies) can have curriculum rules — minimum and maximum number of subjects a student can select from the group. If a student has more selected than the maximum, an OVER badge appears as a warning. You can still complete enrollment after confirming the override.

Yes — if fee schedules are configured for that term and class level, the matching invoices are generated automatically when you complete the enrollment. The 'Invoicing & Fees' section of the enrollment modal shows which fees will be applied and how many invoices will be generated.

The Enrollment History shows every enrollment record across all terms — student name, registration ID, grade level, arm, stream, term, active status, and enrollment date. It is filterable by academic term and sortable by all columns, giving you a complete audit of all enrollment activity.

No. Each AI tool is accessible through the same Femlify interface you already use — there's nothing to configure or install. You click, provide inputs, and receive outputs.

The AI Question Extraction tool supports PDF, Word documents, and plain text. You can upload past papers, printed exam documents, or any text-based source.

Yes. Every generated timetable is fully editable after generation — you can move sessions, swap teachers, and adjust timings before publishing.

The AI reads each student's grades, attendance record, and any teacher notes stored in Femlify, then writes a personalised comment reflecting that individual student's term. You review and edit each comment before it appears on the report card.

You provide a model answer or marking scheme for each question. The AI compares student answers against the model and assigns marks along with per-question feedback. You can review and override any mark before finalising.

The AI aggregates attendance records, lessons delivered, assessment results, and notable events from the current week across all relevant classes and produces a structured summary document.

Yes. The Examination Timetable generator handles multiple grade levels simultaneously, respecting subject clash rules, venue availability, and exam duration settings across your entire school in one generation.

AI tools are part of the Femlify platform. Check the pricing page or contact us for details on which plan includes AI features.

Teachers open the Score Entry screen for their class and select a subject from the dropdown. They enter CA1, CA2, and Exam scores for each student in the table. The maximum score per component (e.g. CA1 max 20, Exam max 60) is shown in the column header. A Record Completion tracker shows how many students have complete entries. Scores are saved with 'Save Changes'.

Before entering scores, the Assessment Readiness panel confirms that the term has a valid assessment policy configured — showing the mark distribution (e.g. Standard K12 Assessment), grading system (e.g. High School System), and number of subjects. If the policy is missing or invalid, you can revalidate it from this panel before proceeding.

When you compute scores (either by subject or by grade level), Femlify calculates the total score from CA1 + CA2 + Exam, then applies your school's configured grading system to assign a letter grade (A, B, C, D, E, F) and remark (Excellent, Very Good, Good, Pass, Poor, Fail). The computation uses the assessment policy assigned to that class for the current term.

'Compute by Subject' recomputes all scores for a specific subject across the class. 'Compute by Grade' recomputes all scores for all subjects across an entire grade level. Use Compute by Grade at the end of term to refresh all computed results at once after all scores have been entered.

Attendance is taken per session — Morning, Afternoon, Evening, or any custom session your school has configured. When taking attendance, you select the date and session, then mark each student. A student can have different attendance statuses for Morning and Afternoon of the same day. The monthly calendar view shows the combined attendance picture per student.

Six statuses: Present (green), Absent (red), Late (yellow), Excused (gray), Partial (orange), and Holiday (purple). The monthly calendar view colour-codes each day by status so you can immediately see patterns like frequent absences or lateness.

Yes. The Take Attendance modal has bulk action buttons at the top — 'Mark All Present', 'Mark All Absent', 'Mark All Late', and 'Mark All Excused'. These mark all students in the class with that status at once. You can then change individual students who differ from the bulk status.

These are the non-academic skills assessed on student report cards. Affective domain covers attitude and behaviour — items like Punctuality, Attention, Teamwork, Respect, and Leadership. Psychomotor domain covers physical and practical skills — items like Handwriting, Practical, and Sports. The specific items come from your school's Skill Assessment Setup configuration.

The class broadsheet shows all students in a class with their CA1, CA2, Exam, and Total scores for every subject — displayed as columns. Each student row ends with their overall Total, Average %, Letter Grade, Remark, Passed/Failed status, and Class Position (rank within the class). The bottom shows the Total Obtainable score and the full grade scale table.

Yes. The broadsheet can be exported as PDF, CSV, or printed directly. You can also use 'Schedule Reports' to automate broadsheet generation and distribution at the end of term.

Go to Report Snapshots, find the term you want to generate reports for, and click Generate. Femlify creates a report card for every student enrolled in that term, pulling in their scores, attendance, and skill ratings automatically. You can then view individual reports or download the full batch as a PDF.

After reports are generated, they are in Draft status. The report list shows 'Teacher pending' and 'HoS pending' indicators for each student. The class teacher reviews reports and approves their portion. The Head of School then does a final review. Once both approve, you can click 'Approve and Release Result' to make reports available to parents.

Each report card includes: Student Information (name, admission number, date of birth, gender, class, number in class), a summary (subjects count, overall percentage, grade, class position, total obtained vs total obtainable), a full subjects table (CA, Exam, Total, Grade, Position, Remark per subject), an Attendance section (days opened, present, absent), and a Skills/Behavioural Assessment section from the Affective and Psychomotor ratings.

Yes. From the report list, click 'Email Download Link' to send each parent an email with a secure link to download their child's report card PDF. This means parents don't need to physically collect paper reports — they can download them from any device.

When generating report cards, you can choose between Portrait (vertical A4 layout) and Landscape (horizontal A4 layout) PDF templates. Both are available for download and archiving. You can generate multiple batches using different templates for the same term.

Batch History logs every report generation run — showing the term, class, template type (Portrait or Landscape), number of students, and timestamps for when the batch was queued, started, and completed. Each batch has a unique UID and can be re-downloaded at any time. Completed batches are marked 'Archive ready'.

Announcements can be sent to Everyone, Students only, Guardians/Parents only, or Staff only. You can further narrow delivery to one or more specific grade levels.

Announcements are currently delivered via email. SMS support is planned for a future update.

Yes. Each announcement has a Delivery Statistics section showing Total Recipients, Emails Sent, Failed deliveries, and contacts with No Email on File.

Guardians, parents, students, and staff with access to the school's Femlify portal can raise concerns. The admin controls who has access to the hub.

Yes. Both concerns and comments have a 'Post anonymously' option that hides the poster's identity from other users. The poster can also choose to reveal their identity later.

Restricted keywords are words or phrases added in the Moderation panel. Any concern or comment containing these words is automatically flagged for admin review before going public.

Admins can post comments on any concern, update its status (Pending or Resolved), pin it to the top of the hub, or delete it if inappropriate.

Yes. Select one or more grade levels from the Grade Levels dropdown when setting the audience — leave it empty to target all grade levels.

You can generate reports from 8 data sources: Students, Payments, Invoices, Enrollments, Attendance, Transactions, Admission Applications, and Acceptance Letters.

Yes. Step 2 of the wizard shows all available columns for your chosen data source as selectable chips. You can toggle individual columns and use the Customize Columns option to reorder them.

Classic uses a simple HTML table layout — fast, compact, and universally compatible. Stylish uses a modern TailwindCSS design for a polished, professional look when sharing reports externally.

Yes. In the Filters step you can choose to filter by an academic term from your school's calendar, or pick a custom date range instead.

There are three layout styles: Expanded (more padding, easier to read), Compact (tighter rows, more records per page), and Multi-card (prints records as compact cards, 2 per row in portrait or 3 per row in landscape). Each can be combined with Portrait or Landscape page orientation.

Yes. The Filters step has a Specific record search field — type at least 2 characters to find and select a single record. Leave it blank to include all records.

All generated reports appear in the Recent Requests list with a Ready status badge, their data source, visual style, and timestamp. You can download or delete them from there at any time.

Yes. The Filters step includes an optional Custom title field — for example 'Q1 Student Report' — which becomes the report's heading in the generated PDF.

Fee scoping lets you define exactly which students a fee applies to. You can scope a fee to All Students (school-wide), a Stage (e.g. Secondary), a Class Level (e.g. JSS1), or a Stream (e.g. Science). When you generate invoices, only the relevant students are billed — no manual filtering needed.

Yes. Each fee supports multiple line items — for example, a 'School Fees for JSS1' fee might have items like Tuition (₦8,000), Development Levy (₦1,500), and Sports Fee (₦500). Femlify automatically computes the total from all line items.

'Mandatory for All' applies the fee to every eligible student under the selected scope. 'Mandatory for Freshers' only applies to newly admitted students. 'Optional' means the fee can be added selectively without mandatory enforcement.

Yes. Every fee is linked to a specific academic term. When you start a new term, you configure new fee schedules for that term. When generating invoices, selecting the term automatically loads the fees configured for it.

Yes. You can bulk-generate invoices for an entire grade level or class by selecting the term and fee schedule. Femlify auto-populates the correct line items per student based on their grade and the configured fee schedule.

Femlify supports manual payments recorded by staff (cash, bank transfer, cheque) and online payments via Paystack. All payment types are tracked in one unified payment list with full details.

Yes. When recording a manual payment, you can upload evidence files (JPG, PNG, or PDF up to 5MB) such as bank teller receipts, transfer screenshots, or deposit slips. These are stored against the payment record.

Voiding requires a written reason. The invoice is marked as void and removed from outstanding balances, but the record is retained with the void reason and timestamp for audit purposes.

When a parent pays via the parent portal, Paystack processes the transaction and Femlify automatically creates a transaction record. Once confirmed, the linked invoice is updated and a payment record is created — no manual reconciliation needed.

Yes. The invoice quick analytics shows overdue and disputed invoices separately. You can also filter the invoice list by 'Overdue' status to see all students with past-due balances.

Femlify currently fully supports Paystack, Flutterwave, and Monnify. PayPal and Razorpay are coming soon. You can connect multiple gateways simultaneously and set execution priority to control which gateway resolves first.

Yes. You can configure multiple gateways — for example Paystack and Flutterwave — and set execution priority for each. The gateway with the highest priority number resolves first when a parent initiates a payment.

Yes. Every gateway has a Sandbox/Test Mode toggle. When enabled, payments route to the gateway's test endpoints so you can verify your setup without processing real transactions. Toggle it off when you're ready to go live.

Financial Forecast projects expected income based on published invoices and shows outstanding balances by class and grade. Financial Breakdown is a deeper analytics view covering invoice statuses, payment completion metrics, and time-series trend charts.

Yes. Both the Forecast and Breakdown pages have a session/term selector so you can switch between any period and compare financial performance across terms.

Data reflects the latest state of your invoices and payments. You can also manually trigger a refresh using the Refresh button to pull the most current figures at any moment.

The Comprehensive Financial Analytics section includes four charts: Invoicing Trend, Collections Trend, Expenses Trend, and an Income vs Expenses comparison — all with a custom date-range picker.

Yes. The Financial Forecast page shows individual cards for every grade level, displaying expected, paid, and outstanding amounts alongside the number of invoices attached to that level.

Yes. The Expenditure Trend chart on the Forecast page and the Expenses Trend chart on the Breakdown page both surface outflow data so you can monitor spending relative to collections.

Each lesson can be one of five content types: Text (written content), YouTube (embedded video link), Video (uploaded video file), PDF (uploaded document), or Audio (uploaded audio file).

Yes. Each course is structured into Modules — named groups that contain lessons. You can add as many modules as needed, reorder them by drag-and-drop or arrow buttons, and rename them inline.

Admins manually enrol students via the Enroll Students button on the Enrollments tab of any published course. Students are then tracked as Active, Completed, or Dropped.

Yes. Each course can be marked as Free or given a price. The pricing badge appears on the course card in the catalogue.

The Analytics tab shows Total Enrolled, Active, Completed, Dropped, and total Lessons — plus Average Progress and Completion Rate bars, and a Module Breakdown table showing how many students completed each module.

Yes. The Instructors tab allows you to assign one or more instructors to a course. The instructor count is shown on the course card in the catalogue.

Draft courses are not visible to students and can be edited freely. Published courses are live and accessible to enrolled students. You can toggle a course between states at any time from the Course tab.

Yes. When creating a lesson, the Order Position field sets its position within the module. You can update this at any time to resequence lessons.

No. Femlify provides 'Use Template' options throughout the setup flow — for academic structure (stages and class levels), subjects (Regional curriculum), grading systems (National Examinations, BECE, K12), and mark distributions. You can have a complete school configured in under 10 minutes.

Femlify includes four built-in Regional templates: Standard Secondary System (6-tier A to F), Regional BECE (5-point Junior National Examinations scale), National Examinations Standard (9-point scale A to F9), and Standard K12 System (12-point scale with sub-grades). You can also create fully custom grading systems.

Yes. You can create multiple grading systems in Femlify and assign different systems to different stages or class levels. Primary classes can use a simple A–F scale while secondary classes use the National Examinations 9-point scale.

Use the drag-and-drop segment builder to define your format. Add segments like School Code, Static Text (e.g. /STU/), Year (4-digit), and Sequential Number in any order. The system generates IDs in that format for every new student — for example EA/STU/2026/001.

Yes. Subject Teacher Assignments are per subject per class level. English Studies can have one teacher for Primary 1 and a different teacher for Primary 3. You can view all assignments either by Subject or by Staff member.

Subject groups let you organize subjects into logical collections like 'Core & Compulsory', 'Science Stream', 'Business Stream', or 'Foreign Languages'. This is useful for report card organization, timetabling, and making subject selection clearer for class assignments.

Arm Presets let you save reusable arm configurations. For example, if most of your classes have arms A and B, you create a preset called '2-arm' with arms A and B, and apply it quickly when creating new class levels without having to re-enter arm details each time.

Yes. Your school logo appears on dashboards, reports, report cards, invoices, and login pages. Your brand colors flow through to the platform's UI. The login cover image appears on your school's login screen for staff, students, and parents.

Yes. You can add a subdomain (e.g. yourschool.femlify.com) or configure a custom domain. Femlify also lets you choose which published website page visitors see when they land on your school's public URL — or default to the sign-in page.

Currently Femlify fully supports K12 schools — which covers Nursery, Primary, Junior Secondary, and Senior Secondary. Academy/Community schools and Tertiary Institutions (College, Polytechnic, University) are coming soon.

An Academic Session is the full school year (e.g. 2025/2026) with an overall start and end date. Each session contains up to three Academic Terms (First Term, Second Term, Third Term), each with their own dates. You designate one term as 'Current' — this is the active term displayed throughout the platform.

The Assessment Policy links a mark distribution (e.g. CA1 20%, CA2 20%, Exam 60%) and a grading system (e.g. National Examinations Standard) to each class level for that term. Once configured, all subject scores for students in that class are computed and graded using that policy automatically — teachers just enter raw scores.

Term Subject Offerings are the subjects made available to each class level for a specific term. You can generate them automatically from your class-level subject assignments, then toggle individual subjects active or inactive per class. Only configured classes allow student subject registration.

For each term, you enroll students into a specific class level, arm, and (if applicable) stream. The Term Setup Overview shows a headcount of enrolled students per class. You can create new enrollments manually or they can carry over from previous terms.

The Last Term setting designates which term is the final one for the academic session. This is used by Femlify's report computation engine — cumulative session-wide grade aggregation (for annual report cards) uses the Last Term as the final entry point.

The timetable builder lets you create weekly schedules per class level and arm. Each row is one lesson slot — you set the day (Mon–Fri), start and end time, subject, teacher, and room. You can add as many rows as needed and save them all at once. Filter by term, class, and arm to view any class's schedule.

The Subscription tab shows the Femlify plan (e.g. K12 Lite) applied to that term, including the activation base charge, true-up rate per student, plan duration, and plan features. It also shows billing context and links to the billing dashboard. Charges are based on students enrolled in the term.

Use Bulk Import. Download the official CSV or Excel template, fill in your student data following the column format, then upload the file. You can choose 'Import Students Only' or 'Import Students with Parents' to link guardian records in the same import operation. Supports .CSV, .XLSX, and .XLS files.

Each student profile stores: photo, registration ID, username, email, first/middle/last name, gender, date of birth, nationality, residential address, residence state and LGA, origin state and LGA. The registration ID follows the format configured in your School Setup settings.

The Registration ID is a required unique identifier generated according to your school's configured ID format (e.g. EA/STU/2026/001). It is used to identify the student across the platform. The Username is optional and can be used for the student's login to the student portal.

Yes. The Bulk Import dropdown offers 'Import Students with Parents' — this imports student records and simultaneously creates linked guardian records from the same spreadsheet file, saving you the step of importing guardians separately.

There are 6 default roles: Accountant (8 permissions — finance focused), Class Teacher (6 permissions — class and attendance focused), Principal (12 permissions — broader academic oversight), Registrar (6 permissions — enrollment and student data), School Administrator (36 permissions — near-full access), and Subject Teacher (3 permissions — score entry only).

Yes. Use 'Create custom role', give it a name and description, then check any combination of the 49 available permissions. Permissions are grouped by category — Academics, Admin Tools, Assessment Policies, Assessment Records, Attendance, Communication, Finance, Reports, Students, Staff, and more.

Click 'Assign roles' from the Roles page, select the user type (staff), search for the staff member by name, email, or registration ID, check the roles to assign, and click Assign. You can also revoke existing roles from the same modal.

The Last Name field in the guardian profile is specifically used to generate the guardian's initial login password automatically. This makes it easy for staff to create guardian accounts without needing to manually set passwords.

Yes. When creating or editing a staff profile, there is an 'Enable 2FA' toggle under Contact & Settings. There is also a 'Login Notifications' toggle to send the staff member an alert each time their account is accessed.

Guardians can be linked to students during enrollment or by editing the student's profile. The guardian list shows a 'Students' column indicating how many children each guardian has linked in the school. You can also link guardians when doing a bulk import using 'Import Students with Parents'.

Go to the Website Builder section and click the '+ New Page' button in the top right. Give the page a title and slug (e.g. /programmes) and it will appear as a new card on the Website Pages dashboard. Click 'Edit Content' on the card to open the canvas editor and start building.

The Page tab edits the content of the specific page you opened. The Header tab edits the site-wide navigation header shared across all pages. The Footer tab edits the site-wide footer. Changes to the Header and Footer apply to every page on your school website.

Layout widgets structure the page: Container creates a flexbox/grid grouping for other widgets, Inner Section creates a nested section with its own columns inside a widget area, and Navigation Bar places a standalone nav bar within a canvas section.

There are currently four dynamic widgets: Staff Grid (pulls your staff profiles from the school database), Fees (displays your configured fee schedules), Events (shows upcoming school events from your calendar), and Admission Campaign (embeds your active admission form so parents can apply directly from the website).

Your school's primary and secondary colors — set in School Setup — automatically generate 10-shade scales (50 to 900) in the Global panel. Each shade is available as a CSS variable (e.g. var(--wb-primary-500)). Click any swatch in the Global panel to copy the variable. These variables are available in every widget's color pickers throughout the editor.

Custom colors are additional brand swatches you define yourself — beyond the primary and secondary scales. Each custom color gets an index (0, 1, 2...) and is available as var(--wb-color-0), var(--wb-color-1), etc. Click the + button to add a new swatch and click any swatch to copy its CSS variable.

Font Sizes let you define named typography tokens — for example, a size named 'Test' with a value of 25px becomes available as var(--wb-fs-test) throughout the editor. This lets you maintain consistent type sizes across all your pages without hardcoding pixel values everywhere.

Click 'Use Template' in the top editor toolbar to open the Building Blocks modal. Browse by category or search by name. Click a template card to select it (it will highlight) then click 'Insert Section' to add it to your canvas. You can then edit all the content and styling in the inserted section.

The three device icons at the top-left of the toolbar switch the canvas between Desktop (full width), Tablet (medium width), and Mobile (narrow width) preview modes. This lets you see how your page layout responds to different screen sizes before publishing.

Export saves the current page's full design — all sections, columns, widgets, and their settings — as a JSON file you can download. Import lets you upload a previously exported JSON file to restore or reuse that design on another page or another school's Femlify account.

Save stores your changes to the page in draft form — the public website does not update until you publish. The Publish/Unpublish button controls whether the page is visible to visitors. A page shows as 'Published' (green) on the dashboard when it is live, and 'Unpublished' when hidden.
