# Edit the page itself, not a form about the page

*Visual editor*

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 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- **Preview links:** Send a private preview of unpublished changes to somebody for a second opinion.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: A new opening time, live in a minute

_An example with placeholder names._

1. User A opens the home page in the editor and double-clicks the opening hours.
2. They 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. They press Publish. The change is live and the previous version is kept in the history.
