Creating & managing dynamic content

If you have Collections in your site, you can access them in the Editor through the Collections tab. The Collections panel lists all your collections. Clicking on a collection opens a new tab titled the name of the collection. This tab contains all Collection items within that Collection.

Creating and editing content

You can edit existing items by clicking on them or creating new items by clicking the ****"New" ****button and filling out the item’s various fields.

The “New blog post” button is highlighted in the Editor.

When you’re done entering content or updating fields, you can choose to:

  • Create a new item or save an existing item. It will be staged to publish and go live on your site the next time you publish it.
  • Publish your item right away (without waiting for the next site-wide publish to take place)
  • Save as Draft if you aren’t quite ready for the item to go on the live site
  • Cancel to discard changes

You can view the Collection page for that item by clicking the "page" icon to the right of the item name. This collapses the panels to show you the page for the item you’re currently viewing right in the browser. If you’d like, you can edit it there, instead of in the panel.

To go back to the Collection item's list, click the Back button.
