Editing a page

Opening a document

The document picker sits in the toolbar and shows the name of whatever is open. Click it to search everything on the site by name or address.

Documents are grouped by kind: pages, articles, legal, partials. A partial is a piece included by other pages — a navigation bar, a footer — so editing one changes every page that uses it.

Editing text

Click any text on the page to edit it in place. The panel on the right shows every field of whatever you have selected.

The panel is the way to reach fields that are not visible text: an image's alt text, a button's destination, a switch that turns a section on.

Blocks

A block is a section. Select one and you can:

  • Edit its fields in the right-hand panel.
  • Move it up or down.
  • Delete it.
  • Add another after it.

Add a block on the page settings panel opens the catalogue of sections this kind of document allows. An article does not offer a pricing table, because the model says an article does not have one.

If a section you need is not in the catalogue, that is a modelling decision — see Modelling.

Page settings

With nothing selected, the right-hand panel shows the document itself:

Visible to the public — off hides the page from visitors while you keep working on it. It stays visible to your team.

SEO title and description — what search engines and browser tabs show.

Blocks on this page — the full list, as a quick way to jump between them.

Saving

Save writes a draft. Your work is stored and visitors still see the published version.

The toolbar tells you where you stand:

What you seeWhat it means
Save (button)You have unsaved changes.
SavedEverything is stored as a draft.
Draft · not liveThe draft differs from what visitors see.
In reviewSubmitted, waiting for approval.

Under the toolbar, a line says what visitors are currently seeing, with two things you can do:

  • See changes — which fields this draft alters, compared with the live version.
  • Discard draft — throw the draft away and go back to the published version. It asks first, and lists what you would lose.

If someone else is editing

If another person saves the same document while you have it open, you are told, and offered their version. Nothing is silently overwritten in either direction.

History

The history button shows every version of this document: who saved it, when, and which fields they changed. You can restore any of them into your draft.
