The Editor Basics

By the end of this page, you will know how a site is put together and how to get your changes live.

Pages, sections, and blocks

Think of your site like a magazine.

• A page is one screen of your site, like Home or About.
• A section is a horizontal band on a page. Sections stack from top to bottom.
• A block is one item inside a section, like a heading, a photo, or a button.

To build a page, you add sections, then put blocks inside them.

Find your way around

• The left panel lists your pages and site settings.
• The middle is your page. Click anything to select it.
• The right panel has tabs for adding blocks, changing your theme, and changing the look of whatever you selected.

Add a section

Move your mouse between two sections, or above the first or below the last one. A strip appears. Click it to add a new section right there.

Save, preview, and publish

Your changes are not public until you publish. You can edit freely without anyone seeing half-finished work.

1. Make your changes.
2. Click Save Draft to keep a checkpoint. Your work stays open so you can keep going. Saving is optional before you publish.
3. Click Preview to see the page the way visitors will.
4. Click Publish when you're happy. Your changes go live.

Discard throws away everything since your last Save Draft. Use it if you want to start over.

If you try to leave with changes you haven't saved, the editor asks you first.

Undo and redo

Made a mistake? Click Undo to step back, or Redo to step forward. They remember what you did during this visit to the editor.

Phones and tablets

Use the screen-size buttons at the top to switch between Desktop, Small Desktop, Tablet, and Phone. Changes you make while one is selected apply to that size. Tablet and Phone stack your blocks in one column by default, and you can rearrange them if you want.
