What is the website editor?
The editor is the main workspace for building and updating a website. It includes the top navigation bar, side panel, content canvas, and design panel. You can edit pages, preview device views, add widgets, adjust styles, and publish changes.
How do I edit content?
Open the editor, select the page, and click the text, image, button, row, section, column, or widget you want to change. Use the side panel for pages, widgets, media, theme settings, SEO/AEO, blog, store, bookings, and site settings.
What is the side panel?
The side panel is the main toolkit for adding widgets, managing pages, working with layers, updating theme styles, managing CMS collections, adjusting SEO/AEO settings, and opening additional site tools.
What are rows, sections, columns, and widgets?
Rows or sections organize horizontal areas of the page. Columns control layout inside those areas. Inner rows add more structure. Widgets are the actual content and features, such as text, images, buttons, forms, maps, galleries, and HTML.
How do I publish site changes?
Use Preview to review unpublished changes, then use Publish or Republish in the editor to make the latest version live.
How do I manage pages and popups?
Use the Pages area to add, rename, duplicate, organize, hide, or manage pages and popups. Some sites may also include memberships, personalization rules, and page-specific settings.
How do I edit headers and footers?
Select the header or footer in the editor and update its logo, navigation, buttons, layout, spacing, or design settings. Global header and footer changes can affect multiple pages.
What are dynamic pages?
Dynamic pages use structured data or collections to create repeated page layouts for items like services, locations, team members, listings, portfolio items, and products.
What are AI tools used for?
AI tools can help create page content, generate SEO text, improve copy, and build flex sections. Better prompts include the business type, location, service, audience, and preferred tone.
Can I edit on mobile or tablet?
Some dashboard and editing tasks can be done on mobile or tablet. Larger drag-and-drop layout changes are usually easier on desktop or tablet.

Support and Troubleshooting
Support and Troubleshooting Answers
What should I do before contacting support?
Search this knowledge base, identify the page or feature causing the issue, note recent changes, take screenshots, and include the page URL, device, and browser when requesting help.
Why does my page look different on mobile?
Desktop, tablet, and mobile use different screen views. Review each device preview and adjust row, column, widget, spacing, and visibility settings as needed.
Why are my changes not live?
Your changes may still be unpublished. Preview shows draft changes, while Publish or Republish makes them live.

Check widget settings, required fields, connected accounts, and any custom code or recent modifications. Custom changes can break widget behavior and may need support.
