How to Use the Page List Block in UniLink (Link to Your Other Pages From One Place)

A step-by-step guide to adding the Page List block to your UniLink page so visitors can discover and navigate to all your other UniLink pages without you having to maintain a manual list of links by hand.

Most creators start with a single UniLink page. Over time that expands: a main profile page, a store page, an events page, a press kit, a page for a new project. At some point those pages need to be connected — visitors to the main page should be able to reach the store, visitors to the store should know about the events, and anyone who gets a link to the press kit should be able to find the main page. Building that connectivity manually means adding a link block to each page every time a new page is published, keeping all the labels current, and maintaining the list as pages are archived or renamed. The Page List block handles all of that automatically. It scans your account for published pages, renders cards for each one — thumbnail, title, description, Visit button — and updates itself when pages are added, removed, or renamed. For creators and businesses running multi-page setups, it is the difference between maintaining a link map by hand and having a self-managing hub page.

What the Page List block does

The Page List block queries your UniLink account for published pages and renders a card for each one. Each card displays four elements: a thumbnail image drawn from the page's cover image, the page title, the page description (if you have written one and enabled it in the block settings), and a "Visit" button that opens the page when clicked. The cards are displayed in either a grid layout (two or three cards per row on desktop, collapsing to one on mobile) or a list layout (one card per row, wider format with more space for the description text). The block renders automatically — you do not create or maintain the cards manually. When you publish a new page in your account, the block picks it up. When you archive a page, it disappears from the block.

The block offers two population modes. Auto mode lists all published pages in your account except the page the block itself lives on — it excludes the host page automatically so the hub does not link to itself. Manual mode lets you select a specific set of pages to include, which is useful when you have published pages that are not relevant to the hub context — a private landing page for a campaign, a page built for a specific partnership, or an archived page that is technically still published. In Manual mode you build the list once and it stays fixed until you edit it — new pages do not appear automatically in Manual mode.

The block also gives you control over the thumbnail source for each card. By default the thumbnail pulls from the page's cover image — the image you set in the page settings of each linked page. If a linked page has no cover image set, the card thumbnail area will be blank, which looks like a design error rather than an intentional choice. To override this without changing the linked page's cover image, you can set a custom thumbnail directly in the Page List block settings for each manually selected card. This is useful when the cover images across your pages use inconsistent aspect ratios or styles and you want the hub page to show a curated set of thumbnails that look visually consistent as a group.

Before you start

1. Set cover images on every page you plan to link to: Before adding the Page List block to your hub page, open each page you want it to display and confirm that a cover image is set in the page settings. A Page List block where half the cards have thumbnails and half have blank grey boxes looks broken to visitors. Either set covers on all linked pages or plan to use Manual mode and set custom thumbnails directly in the block settings. This is the single most common setup oversight with this block.
2. Write page descriptions on each linked page: If you plan to show descriptions in the page cards, go to each linked page's settings and write a one-to-two-sentence description that explains what that page contains. These are the descriptions that appear under each card's title in the Page List block. If you skip this step, the description area on each card will be empty — which is fine if you are hiding descriptions in the block settings, but looks incomplete if you have the description display enabled.
3. Decide: Auto mode or Manual mode: Auto mode is the right default if all your published pages are relevant to the hub and you want the block to update itself as you add and remove pages. Manual mode is right if you have some published pages that are not relevant to the hub context — campaign pages, partner-specific pages, or old pages you have not archived yet. Make this decision before building the block, because switching between modes after the fact resets your card order.
4. Know how many pages you are listing: Count the published pages in your account (or the pages you plan to manually select) before you start. If that number is more than six, decide which pages to show. The Page List block does not have a built-in importance ranking — if you show twelve pages, the visitor sees twelve cards of equal visual weight. More than six creates decision paralysis; choose the most important ones and let Manual mode limit the display.

How to add the Page List block to your page

1. Open your hub page in the Dashboard: Log in to UniLink, go to My Pages, and click Edit on the page that will serve as your hub — the page where you want to display links to your other pages.
2. Add a new block: Click + Add Block. In the block picker, find Page List — it is typically listed under Links or Navigation — and select it. The block will be added at the bottom of your page; drag it to the position where you want the page cards to appear.
3. Choose Auto or Manual mode: In the block settings panel, select Auto to show all published pages in your account automatically, or Manual to choose specific pages. If selecting Manual, click Add Pages and select each page you want to include from the list of your published pages.
4. Set the maximum number of pages to show: In Auto mode, set a numeric limit on how many pages to display — six is the recommended maximum. In Manual mode, the limit is determined by how many pages you selected.
5. Choose a layout: Select Grid (cards side by side in rows) or List (one card per row). Use Grid when your thumbnails are strong visual assets and you want the page cards to feel like a visual menu. Use List when you want more space for the page description text and the content of each page is more important to communicate than the thumbnail.
6. Configure description and visitor count display: Toggle the description display on or off. Toggle the visitor count on or off. Visitor count can be useful as a social proof element on high-traffic pages; it is better left off on pages that are new or have low visit numbers.
7. Set the CTA button label: The default button label on each card is "Visit." You can change this to something more specific — "View store," "See events," "Open press kit" — which makes the button more informative if all your pages serve distinct purposes.
8. Set custom thumbnails if needed (Manual mode only): If any of the selected pages do not have a cover image, or if you want to override the cover image with a curated thumbnail for this hub page, click on each card in the Manual list and upload a custom thumbnail image.
9. Save and publish: Click Save, then Publish Page. Check the live page to confirm all expected page cards are appearing with correct thumbnails, titles, and descriptions, and that the Visit buttons navigate to the correct pages.

How to build a hub page that visitors actually navigate

A Page List block on its own is functional — it shows your pages and lets visitors click to them. A Page List block as part of a well-designed hub page is genuinely useful, and the difference comes from what surrounds the block rather than the block's own settings. The most effective hub pages open with an Overview block or a brief text introduction that explains what the hub is and who it is for — "All my projects in one place" or "My content, store, and event calendar — find what you need here" — so visitors understand the hub's purpose before they start scanning the page cards. Without that context, a grid of page cards is navigable but not inviting.

The page titles on your linked pages do real work in the Page List block. Titles like "Store," "Events," and "Press" are clear and specific — a visitor knows what they will find before clicking. Titles like "My World," "Everything," or "Enter Here" give visitors no information and create friction at the decision point. If you are building a hub page and some of your linked pages have vague titles, this is the right moment to rename them — clear titles improve every context where the page is shared or discovered, not just the hub block.

The grid layout's visual consistency is only as good as the cover images you set on each linked page. A hub with three pages showing strong, intentionally designed cover images and two pages showing blank grey placeholder cards looks like the hub is broken rather than in progress. The safest approach before publishing a hub page is to open every page in the Manual list (or all published pages in Auto mode), verify that each has a cover image, and if not — either set one or switch that page to unpublished until it is ready to appear in the hub.

For agencies or managers handling multiple client accounts, the Page List block has a less obvious use: building an internal directory page that links to all client pages, making it easier to navigate between client pages without bookmarking each one individually. Auto mode with no limit makes this especially convenient — as new client pages are published, they appear in the directory automatically. This is not a visitor-facing use case, but it is a legitimate productivity use of the block in accounts where page count is high.
