Drafts section disappear when changing site.yml

The CMS Questions

So my client wants to have some settings that can be enabled or disabled, for example a side-wide alert on the top of each page. As a first-time-user I read here that the settings page in Kirby isn’t actually for settings (lol). So it made sense to add tabs to the panel. First tab would be the regular ‘drafts’, ‘unlisted’, ‘listed’ pages. And the other tab would only contain switches or other side-wide settings.

My blueprints/site.yml currently looks like this:

title: Site
preset: pages
pages: true
options:
  url: true

tabs:
  content:
    unlisted:
      headline: Pages not in menu
      info: '{{ page.slug }}'
    listed:
      headline: Pages in menu
      info: '{{ page.slug }}'
    drafts:
  settings:
    label: test
    icon: search
    type: fields
    fields:
      alert_show:
        label: Show alert
        type: toggle
        text: Show alert
        [...]

But when I upload it like that, no tabs show up and the ‘unlisted’ category is gone?

So then I tried to give up on the idea to have tabs, since the documentation is quite unclear about that. So I tried to add the fields to the main panel, above the categories. So I changed the lower part of the site.yml:

drafts:
unlisted:
  headline: Pages not in menu
  info: '{{ page.slug }}'
listed:
  headline: Pages in menu
  info: '{{ page.slug }}'
settings:
  type: fields
  fields:
    alert_show:
      label: Show alert
      type: toggle
      text: Show alert
      [...]

But then, the settings part doesn’t show up at all! So then I tried removing ‘drafts’ and renaming ‘settings’ to ‘drafts’. And guess what? Drafts does hide, and all settings show up!

To clarify what I did, here the final file which does show my fields, but now hides ‘drafts’:

unlisted:
  headline: Pages not in menu
  info: '{{ page.slug }}'
listed:
  headline: Pages in menu
  info: '{{ page.slug }}'
drafts:
  type: fields
  fields:
    alert_show:
      label: Show alert
      type: toggle
      text: Show alert

It seems as if ‘drafts’, ‘listed’ and ‘unlisted’ is declared somewhere. Since if I make my own section and call it ‘settings’ it doesn’t show up.

Can someone explain to me how this works or at least point me in the right direction (documentation wise)?

Thanks!

You are using a preset, from your first blueprint, remove the above two lines.

Also,

options:
  url: true

doesn’t exist. You can remove that.

When I do that, I get this error:
This page has no blueprint setup yet

You can use either the presets, but then you can’t use tabs. Or you can use tabs, but then you have to set up your sections properly like explained in the docs.

title: Site

tabs:
  content:
    label: Content
    sections:
      unlisted:
        type: pages
        headline: Pages not in menu
        info: '{{ page.slug }}'
      listed:
        type: pages
        headline: Pages in menu
        info: '{{ page.slug }}'
      drafts:
        type: pages
        headline: drafts
  settings:
    label: Test
    icon: search
    sections:
      section1:
        type: fields
        fields:
          alert_show:
            label: Show alert
            type: toggle
            text: Show alert

Thank you so much! That made sense!
