Edit content inline - directly on the page

Move your mouse over a text element on the page, for example over this text here. You will notice the mouse cursor becomes a "pen" icon. Now click on the text. Text edit controls are shown and you can start changing the content. When you are done, just click outside the highlighted area to save your changes.

You can also replace images in the page with drag & drop. Open Galleries from the toolbar. Select for example Demo: People images from the list of existing galleries. When you place the mouse over any image, you notice the Move to page icon appears. Click there and drag and drop the image to the page.

Using the form based editor

All content in OpenCms is stored in structured content elements. You can open a form based editor that shows all elements by either clicking the pen icon that is shown on the "edit point" menu that appears on the upper right of an element, or by clicking the pen icon in the toolbar while you edit content inline.

Using either the form based editor or the inline editor is a matter of preference.
