CMS Widget - Button

Posted September 10, 2026

The CMS Widget - Button is a button that saves the CMS Page it is placed on and then sends the user to another page. It can also be configured to send the user to another page without saving. The widget can be found within the Content group. Please review Adding CMS Widget for more information.

Note: The button hides itself on a CMS Page that already holds a submit widget, such as CMS Widget - Inquiry Submit, so that only one control on a page saves the page and moves the user forward.

Label is the text shown on the button.

Behavior determines what the button does when the user clicks it.

- Save With Redirect Link saves the page and sends the user to the Save Redirect Page.
- Save And Next saves the page and sends the user to the next page in the Navigation Source menu.
- Save And Next Incomplete saves the page and sends the user to the next page in the Navigation Source menu that the user has not completed yet.
- Save And Previous saves the page and sends the user to the previous page in the Navigation Source menu.
- Redirect does not save the page. The widget renders as a link to the Save Redirect Page. Note: This option opens the page in a new browser tab.

Navigation Source is the CMS Widget - Menu whose pages the button moves through. It is required for the Save And Next, Save And Next Incomplete, and Save And Previous behaviors. Note: When the menu tracks completion and there is no further page to move to, the button hides itself.

Save Redirect Page is the CMS Page the user is sent to by the Save With Redirect Link and Redirect behaviors.

Forward Return Url carries the return address held by the current page over to the Save Redirect Page, so that the page being opened can send the user back to where they originally started. Note: A page holds a return address when the user was sent to it from a page that requires login. Use this setting on a button that offers account creation from a login page, together with Redirect To Return Url on the CMS Widget - Inquiry Submit, so that a user who creates an account lands back on the page they were trying to reach.

Preserve Selection sends the address of the current page, including any product or event selected on it, along to the Save Redirect Page as the return address. Use this setting on a button that offers login or account creation directly from a product or event page, such as a Click here to log in or create an account button on an online store product page, so that the user lands back on the item they were viewing once they sign in or create an account. Note: When the current page already holds a return address, Forward Return Url takes precedence and that address is carried instead. To complete the round trip, also set Forward Return Url on the account creation button of the login page and Redirect To Return Url on the CMS Widget - Inquiry Submit that creates the account.

Skip Saving sends the user to the next page without saving any of the widgets on the current page.

Allow Saving With Missing Requirements saves the page even when required fields have been left empty.

Enabled determines whether the user can click the button.

Start With New Line places the button on its own line instead of alongside the control before it.
