Edit your content

Every piece of content on your site (a service, an article, a page) is an entry you open and edit from your workspace. Everything saves by itself, and nothing changes on your live site until you publish. You can work without fear: worst case, you end up with a draft to pick up later.

Open an entry

In the left menu, the Content section lists your site’s content types: services, articles, pages…
Pick a type. The list of entries appears, with a search box and a status per entry: Draft (never published), Published (live as is) or Modified (live, but with changes not yet published).
Click the entry you want to edit.

The fields of an entry

An entry is a series of fields, defined by the person who built your site. You will mostly meet:

Plain texts. Title, subtitle, button label: click and type.

Rich texts. Longer paragraphs come with a toolbar: bold, italic, bullet list, numbered list, headings and subheadings. You can add a link to a page of your site or to another site, insert an image from your media library, or a video by simply pasting a YouTube or Vimeo link.

Images. Choose an image opens the media library. Once an image is in place, Replace swaps it and Remove takes it off the entry, without deleting it from the library.

Lists of items. Testimonials, steps, frequently asked questions: Add creates an item, the arrows move it up or down, and each item can be expanded, duplicated or removed. Removed one by mistake? An Undo button shows up right away.

Two things apply to every field:

An asterisk marks a required field. The entry still saves while it is empty, but it cannot be published until it is filled in: when you try, the “Some information is missing to publish” window lists exactly what is missing.
If your site exists in several languages, the Shared across languages label marks a shared field: its value is the same in every language.

Automatic saving

There is no Save button. Moments after your last change, the entry header goes from Saving… to Saved at followed by the time. Close the tab, come back tomorrow: your draft is waiting, untouched.

Three special cases:

Fix errors to save: a value is off (a text that is too long, for instance). Click that message to jump straight to the field.
Offline: saved on this device: your connection dropped. Keep writing: everything is kept on your device and will sync on its own once you are back online.
Closing the page while a save is still pending? Your browser asks for confirmation before leaving.

Draft versus live site

Your changes stay in a draft, visible only in your workspace. Your live site keeps showing the last published version: you can rework an entire page without your visitors seeing a single comma of it.

When everything is ready, the Publish button at the top of the entry puts your changes online. The details (update delay, multilingual sites, going back) are in Publishing your changes.

To backtrack, the ⋯ menu at the top of the entry offers Discard changes: your current tweaks disappear and the entry goes back to its last saved version.

Pick up where you left off

The home page of your workspace shows the Pick up where you left off block: your recently opened entries, one click away.

If you worked offline and then closed the page, nothing is lost: when you reopen the entry, a banner tells you that “changes made offline are saved on this device”. Resume these changes puts them back in place, Discard them starts over from the saved version.

Two people on the same entry

Several people can work on the same site, even on the same entry. Two safeguards cover it:

The presence banner. If someone else saves changes on the entry you have open, a banner says so: “Camille is also editing this content right now.” The simplest move is to talk to each other before going on.
The choice on collision. If your changes and theirs truly cross paths, a window opens: “This content was changed in the meantime”. You pick Load their version (you start over from theirs) or Keep mine (your version replaces theirs). Nothing is lost: every saved version stays in the history.
