Communities are managed via the Communities Portlet. This portlet can be used to create, update, and delete communities; control the permissions of communities (including permission delegation); manage the pages of communities; assign users to communities (either directly or indirectly); and join or leave open communities.

A page can have child pages

It is not clear if a child has further children.

Each page is displayed as a tab

The child pages are listed inside that tab.

It is not clear if the display of these pages and children is configurable?

A page can be a public page or a private page

public page is for guests and private only if you are logged in and belong to that community
