Studio → Library → Pages holds the standing pages every site needs — About, Contact, Terms, Privacy — and any others you add. Any page can carry a contact form, and its messages land in Studio → Library → Contact Inbox. Pages need the Static pages permission; the inbox needs Contact form submissions.
