Update Structure

Follow this guide when you want to reshape the sitemap with aigne web generate, such as adding or removing pages before approving the plan.

Modifying the structure of your website—such as adding new pages, removing obsolete ones, or reorganizing the navigation—is a critical task for keeping your content relevant and user-friendly. AIGNE WebSmith facilitates this process through an AI-driven workflow that interprets natural language feedback to perform precise structural changes.

This document explains how to modify your site's structure using the aigne web generate command. During this process, an AI agent interprets your feedback in natural language to add, remove, update, or move pages. Understanding the available operations helps you provide clear instructions to achieve your desired site layout.

The primary command for applying structural changes is aigne web generate. For more details on the creation process itself, see Create Website.

The Structure Update Process#

When you run the aigne web generate command, the system first analyzes your content sources and proposes a website structure. You are then given an opportunity to review and modify this structure interactively.

Interactive Update Workflow#

The process for updating your website's structure is interactive. Here is a summary of the workflow:

  1. Initiate Generation: Run the generate command in your terminal.

    Run command

    aigne web generate
  2. Review Proposed Structure: After analyzing your sources, the terminal displays the proposed structure and asks for your input.
  3. Provide Natural Language Feedback: At the prompt, type your desired changes in natural language. For example:

    "Add a 'Contact Us' page at the top level with the path /contact. Also, remove the page at /about/old-team."

  4. Review and Approve: The AI processes your feedback, applies the necessary changes, and displays the revised structure. You can then approve the changes to finalize the process or provide more feedback to refine it further.

Core Structural Operations#

The AI agent understands four fundamental operations for modifying the website structure. Providing clear feedback that aligns with these operations will yield the most accurate results.

  • Deleting a page:

    "Please remove the 'Legacy Products' page located at /products/legacy."

  • Updating a page:

    "Update the title for the page at /services to 'Our Professional Services'."

  • Moving a page:

    "Move the 'Careers' page, currently at /careers, so it becomes a child of the '/about' page. Its new path should be /about/careers."
