Page Actions

Page actions add a per-page dropdown menu with utilities for sharing and inspecting content.

Configuration

All keys go under params in hugo.yaml. pageShowActions can also be set per-page in front matter.

Key	Type	Description
`pageShowActions`	bool	Show the page actions menu
`repoURL`	string	Branch root URL, enables View Repo Source
`repoSubdir`	string	Path from repo root to Hugo project directory; set when the Hugo project is not at the repo root

repoURL must point to the branch root, not the repository root. For example:

hugo.yaml
params:
  pageShowActions: true
  repoURL: https://github.com/example/my-site/blob/main
  repoSubdir: exampleSite  # omit if Hugo project is at repo root

Actions

Some actions are always available. Others require additional configuration to activate.

Action	Condition
Copy URL	Always present
Copy Markdown	Requires `markdown` in page outputs
View Source	Requires `markdown` in page outputs
View Repo Source	Requires `repoURL`

Copy Markdown and View Source serve the raw Markdown of the current page. Set the markdown output in hugo.yaml:

hugo.yaml
outputs: # Custom output formats per page type
