In this tutorial, we will learn how to edit CMS (Content Management System) on Webflow. Webflow offers a user-friendly interface that allows you to easily manage and update the content on your website without any coding knowledge. Let’s dive in and explore the steps involved in editing CMS on Webflow.
Step 1: Accessing the Editor
To begin, log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the project you want to edit. Once you’re on the project dashboard, click on the “Editor” button located at the top-right corner of the screen. This will launch the Webflow Editor, where you can make changes to your CMS.
Step 2: Selecting a Collection
After entering the Editor, you will see a sidebar on the left-hand side of your screen. Click on “Collections” within this sidebar to access all your CMS collections. A collection is a group of similar content items that share a common structure.
Note: If you haven’t created any collections yet, you can do so by going back to your project dashboard and selecting “CMS” from the top navigation bar. From there, click on “Add Collection” and follow the prompts.
Step 3: Editing Collection Items
Select the desired collection from the list within the Collections sidebar. This will display all existing items within that collection in a table format. To edit an item, simply click on it.
Note: You can also add new items by clicking on the “Add Item” button located above the table.
Editing Fields
Once inside an item, you’ll find various fields associated with it. These fields correspond to different types of content that can be edited. To make changes, click on the field you want to modify and start typing.
Uploading Images
If an image field is present, you can upload a new image by clicking on the “Upload” button within that field. This will allow you to select an image from your computer’s local storage and replace the existing one.
Step 4: Publishing Changes
After making the necessary edits, click on the “Publish” button located at the top-right corner of the screen. This will save your changes and update your live website with the modified content.
Note: You can also preview your changes before publishing by clicking on the “Preview” button next to “Publish”. This allows you to view how your website will look with the updated content.
Conclusion
In conclusion, editing CMS on Webflow is a breeze with its intuitive interface. By following these steps, you can easily manage and update your website’s content without any coding skills required. So go ahead, log in to Webflow, access the Editor, select a collection, edit collection items, and publish your changes to keep your website up-to-date!
