name: "frontpage_no"
file: "_nb/pages/frontpage.md"
fields:
- {label: Layout, name: layout, widget: hidden, default: index }
- {label: Language, name: language, widget: hidden, default: nb }
- {label: Page Title, name: page_title, widget: string}
Outputs
frontpage.md

But using a collections with folder.
- label: "Pages [folder]"

folder: "_folder"
name: "page_folder"
fields:
