Edit text directly on your page with the page editor

Answer

The page editor lets you edit text right where it appears on your page. No more hunting through forms or switching to separate windows. Just click any text and start typing.

Opening the page editor

1. Go to My Website in the left menu.
2. Click Pages.
3. Click the row of the page you want to update, such as Home or About me.

Your page opens in the editor, ready to edit.

Editing short texts

Short texts like headings and subtitles are the quickest to update:

1. Click directly on the heading or subtitle you want to change.
2. Type your new text.
3. Click anywhere else on the page to confirm. Your change is saved within the editor.
4. Click Save at the top of the page to publish the update to your website.

Editing longer texts

For longer content like your personal story or a detailed description, a text box opens right on the spot:

1. Click on the text block you want to edit.
2. A text box appears in place, with full formatting options. Bold, italic, bullet lists, and headings are all preserved.
3. Make your edits inside the text box.
4. Click outside the text box to close it.
5. Click Save at the top to publish your changes.

Editing blocks with multiple elements

Many page sections contain several individual elements, such as the steps in your process, your core values, or highlights in a feature block. Each element is editable on its own:

1. Click directly on the element you want to update and type your changes.
2. To add, remove, or reorder elements, click the block to open the inspector panel on the right side of the screen.
3. Use the inspector to manage the individual items within that block.
4. Click Save when you are happy with the result.

Adding a Text block

The Text block is a flexible, standalone block you can add anywhere on your page. It contains a heading and one or more paragraphs, making it great for adding an introduction, an explanation, or any freeform content that does not belong to an existing section.

To add a Text block:

1. In the editor, click the + button at the spot on the page where you want to add content.
2. Select Text from the list of available blocks.
3. The block appears on your page with a placeholder heading and paragraph.

Editing the Text block works exactly like editing any other text on your page:

• Click the heading to select it and type your replacement text.
• Click any paragraph to edit it inline. Just type your changes directly.
• Click outside the block to deselect it.
• Click Save at the top to publish the block to your website.

Tips

• Nothing is final until you click Save, so feel free to experiment with small changes.
• If you want to undo edits you have not saved yet, simply navigate away from the page without saving.
• The Text block is especially handy when you want to add context between two existing sections, for example a short intro above a feature block or a closing note at the bottom of your page.
• Keep your page fresh by revisiting it regularly. A quick click and a few keystrokes are all it takes to keep your content current.
