Editing text by clicking

Click any paragraph or heading in the preview and type. It saves by itself.

A real recording of the editor. It loops; the steps below match what you see.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Hover over text in the preview. Editable text shows a soft blue outline.

  2. 2

    Click it and type your change, just like a document. Headings, paragraphs, and list items all work.

  3. 3

    Click anywhere else, or click the next paragraph, and your edit saves to the preview automatically. You can also press Save in the little toolbar.

  4. 4

    Changed your mind mid-edit? Press Cancel in the toolbar or the Escape key to put the text back before saving.

  5. 5

    Nothing you type here touches the live site. When you are happy, press Go Live at the top.

Good to know

If something looks wrong

I clicked text and nothing happened.

Text inside the header menu, footer, buttons, and forms is protected. Use the chat for those.

My edit vanished after I clicked to another page.

It saved. The preview can show the older version of a page for about a minute after a save while it rebuilds. Press Refresh at the top of the preview.
