Hey @Esther,
When I go to that link, I see the “Login with Netlify Identity” button. Is that what you’re seeing now or are you getting this issue after logging in?

[Esther]

Yes…That is it
It was supposed to show the pages I have in the live site so I can update/edit it but I can’t find any

OK. And have you configured the rest of your directories, like you did the “about” section? You’ll need one entry per directory that holds markdown files. Here’s an example from a site I use the CMS on:

collections:
  - name: "home"
    label: "Home"
    files:
      - name: "homepage" 
        label: "Home Page"
        file: "content/_index.md"
        create: true
        slug: "{{slug}}"
        fields:
          - {label: "Title", name: "title", widget: "string"}
          - {label: "Weight", name: "weight", widget: "number"}
          - {label: "Body", name: "body", widget: "markdown"}
  - name: "onboarding"
    label: "Onboarding"
    folder: "content/onboarding"
    create: true
    slug: "{{slug}}"
    fields:
      - {label: "Title", name: "title", widget: "string"}
      - {label: "Weight", name: "weight", widget: "number"}
      - {label: "Body", name: "body", widget: "markdown"}
  - name: "emergencies"
    label: "Emergency Response Docs"
    folder: "content/emergencies"
    create: true
    slug: "{{slug}}"
    fields:
      - {label: "Title", name: "title", widget: "string"}
      - {label: "Weight", name: "weight", widget: "number"}
      - {label: "Body", name: "body", widget: "markdown"}

I have about 20 of those stanzas, since I have about 20 content categories in separate directories on my site.

Hi, I am also presently having issues running the netlify cms.
I keep getting this error

The pattern property is expecting two array items seperated by a comma, the regex and error message, like so:

pattern: ['.{12,}', "Must have at least 12 characters"]
