Visual editor

Edit the page itself, not a form about the page

The page in the middle of the editor is your real website, drawn by the same code that serves it to visitors. Three panels sit beside it: Add, Navigator and Design. Click a section and its settings open. Double-click a heading and type. What you see is what gets published.

What you get

Click a section on the page to change it. Type straight onto the page, drag sections into place, and click through your pages before anything goes live.

  • Click to select, type to edit

    Every section shows its outline as you move over it. Click it to open its settings, or double-click any heading or paragraph and change the words in place.

  • Drag sections into place

    Drag a block from Add, or a section on the page, and a placeholder shows exactly where it will land. The page scrolls as you near the top or bottom. The Navigator lists every page and its sections for reordering too.

  • Quick add

    Press / to search every block and pattern, and add one without leaving the keyboard.

  • Click through

    Switch on Click through, or press P, and the links on your pages work. Follow them from page to page as a visitor would, without publishing.

  • Desktop, tablet and phone

    Switch the canvas between three widths to check the page on each. Every block is built to work on a phone without extra setup.

  • Undo, redo and autosave

    Changes save as you go and can be undone with the usual keys. Nothing reaches your visitors until you publish.

  • Preview links

    Send a private preview of unpublished changes to somebody for a second opinion. The link stops working after a set time.

In practice

  2. 2They type the new Saturday hours, use Click through to check the contact page still links up, and look at the page at phone width.
  3. 3They press Publish. The change is live and the previous version is kept in the history.
