Editing Existing Content

Learn how to find and edit existing content pages in the Umbraco backoffice.

Content Within the Tree View

When you are looking to edit content, locate the page you want to edit in the Content tree on the left-side of the screen.

Viewing Pages in Content Section

To edit existing content, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Content section.
2. Select the page in the section tree you wish to edit. The content of the page is loaded in the right-side editor.
3. Edit the contents of the page.
4. Click Save to save the edits without publishing it.
5. Click Save and preview to preview the changes.
6. Click Save and publish to publish the changes. For more information, see the Save and Publishing Pages article.

View Page Layout

By default, you can view Page layouts in two ways: in a List or in a Grid (default).

Grid

When you enable Collection on a page, its child pages are no longer shown as nested items in the content tree. Instead, the parent page appears as a single node in the tree. Selecting it displays all of its child pages in a grid view within the main workspace area. For more information, see the Collection article.

Grid

List

You can switch to a list view by clicking the layout icon in the top-right of the screen:
