Unable to add web parts to certain pages in Sharepoint Online

Question

Are there two different types of Pages in Sharepoint?

I'm using SharePoint Online, and when I click Add Page, sometimes I get a full (ribbon) editor that allows for web parts, etc. Other times I get an editor that only allows me to embed documents, or a Yammer feed (no ribbon). I can't replicate how I got to the first kind, the second page type I access by clicking the Gear, and clicking 'Add a Page'

Answer 1

Yes it appears this has changed somewhat, I'm having the same issue, from the site contents, go to site pages, then from there you can select new > web part pages, this will give you the old traditional style page, I'm not sure on the differences but will be doing some research on this
