Create box for "page" work type beside the Epic box, when I add a work item it's added to backlog

Question

I create work type called "Page" and added hierarchy level 2 for this work to have it as parent for the work items that I create in work type "Epic" but when I add a work item with the work type of "pages" it's added in the backlog like a user story, I want to have this work type like 'Epic' work type and create a box for this item in  beside the "Epic" box.
If you can please advise about this

Hi @Ahmed Essam , thanks for the explanation.

As I said, you can (and have) created a custom work item hierarchy but it is not possible to make the custom work item type of Pages have a panel, which is reserved only for Epics.

A possible workaround would be to create another board for your Pages but I appreciate that isn't ideal.

You could create a Plan for this project / board to see the hierarchy. Would that help / work?

4- the main thing I need is to have the pages in open box similar to the epic & version boxes as in the below images, so when I create a work item using type "page" it doesn't show up below the user stories or tasks and it appears like when I create an Epic:
