Peoplecode experimenting with pages

In need to hack up a page?

I'm often in need to experiment or completely hack up a page trying to figure out a different way to solve a specific problem.  I don't really want to delete and destroy a working copy of a page in case my idea doesn't work.  So I found this great way to build a addition pages and flip between them.

Steps

1. Build or use an existing working page already in a registered component.
2. Open your page and "Save As" a second copy with a new name.
3. Drag the page to your Component.
4. Using the Hidden checkbox you can hide your original page and use your new page.

Now you can hack up your new page as much as you like and even go back and view your original page just by flipping the Hidden value on your component.
