Add and edit

The edit screen is modelled on the WordPress classic editor: a wide content column and a 300px sidebar for publishing.

The edit screen with the Publish box, taxonomies and the floating Update button

  • Edit tells you what you are editing.
  • Add creates a new record of the same type.

The title sits at the top in a large field. Under it is the permalink — the public URL this content will have.

  1. Click Edit next to the permalink to reveal the slug field.
  2. Change the slug (the URL part after the type).
  3. Click Done to collapse it again.

Above the writing area:

  • Add Media inserts an image from the media library.
  • Visual / Code switches between the rich-text editor and the raw HTML view — see Visual and Code.

The toolbar covers bold, italic, strike, inline code, H2/H3, bulleted and numbered lists, quote, code block, link, horizontal rule, undo and redo.

Row What it does
Status Published or Draft; click Edit to toggle
Visibility Public (more options later)
Published on The creation timestamp
Update / Publish Saves everything
Move to Trash Soft-deletes the record

Shows the terms attached to this record, grouped by taxonomy. Editing terms happens under Taxonomies.

Two ways, same result:

  • the Update button inside the Publish box;
  • the floating Update button at the bottom-right of the screen.

While the save runs, the button shows a spinner and Saving…. When it finishes, a green ✓ Saved toast appears above the floating button and fades after a couple of seconds.

The footer of the editor shows the word count and the last edited timestamp.
