When Edit Page is Not Available

Edit Page

Sometimes this option is missing.

To edit a page in SharePoint 2013 that does not have Edit Page menu option available (pictured above), such as the Access Requests page, append the following bold text to the url (start with and include the ?):

http://SharePoint/sites/YourSite/Access%20Requests/pendingreq.aspx?ToolPaneView=2

For my little task, I actually used the following url:

http://SharePoint/sites/YourSite/Access%20Requests/pendingreq.aspx?ToolPaneView=2&pageview=personal

I added the part about the pageview=personal because I was putting in some suspect CSS in a Script Editor web part and I didn’t want to bring down the house, so I was just working with my personal view of this page.  However, you can go with pageview=shared or omit the pageview parameter altogether (and take your chances).

This brief article today simply expounds on a previous post I made in August, 2016 about this subject.
