Hi Esther, welcome to the community forums! You’ll have to create identity email templates. I’ve written a guide on how to do that which you can find here:

That works!. Thanks
But how do I update the available pages on the live site from the cms??

That should be the easy part :slight_smile: What happens, at what URL, when you try?
