Adding some parameters in the URL i.e. QuerySting gives some bonus , specially for the pages where “EditPage” is not available from Site Settings.
It Even works if there is no SiteSettings assigned to user( Should we take it as BIG security BUG ? )
For example there is no “Edit Page” Option available in any of lists “NewFrom.aspx”. so there is no other way then to go in sharepoint designer and then edit the page.
But this way is more easier, as to just trick the URL and you will have NewForm.aspx in Edit Mode in Browser. !!!!!!
The possible parameters with values are :
| Add Web Parts/Browse | ToolPaneView=2 | |
| Add Web Parts/Search | ToolPaneView=3 | |
| Edit Mode | mode=edit | |
| View Mode | mode=view | |
| Shared Mode | PageView=Shared | |
| Personal Mode | PageView=Personal |
Different combinations of this parameters gives some time saving benefit of editing the same page in designer.
So for example, say you wanted to edit the Shared view of the default page:
default.aspx?mode=edit&PageView=Shared
Say you wanted to Browse web parts and add them to your Personal view:
newForm.aspx?ToolPaneView=2&PageView=Personal
– Put page in Webpart Maintenance mode
placing ?contents=1 in query string(URL) lets user to have a page in webpart maintenance mode, where its possible to reset or delete any of webparts of that page.
This helps specially when some webpart is mal functioning or having error, and due to it entire page is not able to load.
e.g AllItems.aspx?contents=1 will open
Web Part Page Maintenance: AllItems

Thanks for this tip.
Ive used “contents=1” a good bit in the past, but never payed attention to the other parameters until I need them but forgotten them at the same time.

Thanks for this simple but very helpful post. I had made changes to namespace of the webparts which were existing on pages. Hence, the webpart pages were resulting in Webpart error. And i cudnt find a way to edit page/open page in maintenance mode to delete old webpart and reload new webpart. the “Contents=1” part saved me time in recreating the pages all over again.
Thanks a lot 🙂

i HAVE USED THE TOOLPANEVIEW=2 YOU CAN ALSO USE &TOOLPANEVIEW=2 TO ADD A WEB PART WHEN INSIDE THE EDIT FORM URL TO ADD A CONTENT WEB PART TO THE EDIT FORM.
YOU CAN THEN USE JAVASCRIPT TO CREATE CASCADING MENUS ON THE FORM AS WELL AS DYNAMIC ARRAY TABLES WITH JAVASCRIPT IN THE FORM.. ALL ON THE CLIENT SIDE…

Hallo, dies ist guter Text! Ich habe für meine Jungs vielfältige
Baby Thermometer immer bereit… Eins mit dem meinereiner
am Po messen kann & ein anderes für das Gehörgang!
Dieses eignet sich enorm fein, wenn man die Köpertemperatur simpel einmal untersuchen will – Auch im Schlaf.
Dabei reichen Ohr Thermometer vollkommen aus und erfassen unserer Ansicht nach
ebenfalls ganz schön.

of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same time as other folks think about worries that
