# Create an alias in the Content Editor

Using an [alias](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/102/sitecore-experience-manager/aliases.html "Aliases") lets you have multiple URLs for a content item. For example, if you have a URL `/hr/jobs` that activates the content item */Sitecore/Content/Home/HR/Jobs*, you can create an alias so that the URL `/jobs` also activates the same content item.

To create an alias:

1. In the Content Editor, select the target item, for example, */Sitecore/Content/Home/HR/Jobs*.
2. On the **Presentation** tab, in the **URL** group, click **Aliases**.
3. In the **Aliases** dialog box, in the **Name** field, enter the alias name, for example, */jobs* or *jobs* (both are equivalent).
4. Click **Add**.
5. When you have finished defining the aliases you want, click **OK**.

> [!note]
> If you use IIS7 with an application pool configured for the integrated managed pipeline mode, you can eliminate the .aspx extension by setting the value of the `addAspxExtension` attribute in the `/configuration/sitecore/linkManager` element in the `web.config` file. You do not need to use aliases to implement this change.
