Editing Your Website
Click Website, then Pages from your Home menu to begin making changes to your site.
Understanding Your Website’s Structure
Websites are an organized set of one or more pages. Some of these pages will be linked in your header, also known as the navigation menu, helping visitors move around your website.
Pages are made up of individual sections. You can build and organize your website by adding pages, creating sections within those pages, and then adding page links to your header.
Editing sections
Edit existing sections on your website to rewrite placeholder copy, add images, or make other changes.
To edit a section, select the page you wish to edit from the navigation menu, then click on the section you want to work on in the website preview. The Edit panel will appear on the left side.
