Tips for Text Editing
Keep Context in Mind
When editing text:
- Maintain the same tone as the rest of the site
- Keep text length similar (very long text might break the layout)
- Proofread before saving
Formatting
The text editor shows plain text. If you need formatting:
- Bold, italic, etc. - Ask the AI in chat
- Links - Use the AI to add links
- Special characters - Type them directly
Placeholder Text
If you see "Lorem ipsum" or placeholder text:
- Replace it with your actual content
- Make sure to update all placeholder text before publishing
What You Can Edit
Headings
All heading levels (H1, H2, H3, etc.) are editable:
- Main titles
- Section headings
- Subheadings
Paragraphs
Any paragraph text:
- Descriptions
- About content
- Feature explanations
- Any body text
Button Text
Change what buttons say:
- "Learn More" → "Get Started"
- "Submit" → "Send Message"
- "Buy Now" → "Add to Cart"

What You Cannot Edit with the Edit Tool
Some text requires the AI chat:

For these, describe your change in the chat instead.

Text Length Considerations
