Click the text and change it

Click into the preview, type, done — and what to do when a text will not take a click

10.1 Click instead of search

That is the whole trick: click the text you want to change, right in the preview. On the right, the field editor jumps to exactly that field. Type the new text there, and the preview shows it straight away.

You do not need to know what the field is called or where it sits. The page itself is your table of contents.

10.2 When a text will not take a click

Not every piece of text is clickable. Use the field list on the right and look for it there. The list holds every text on the current page, sorted by area.

If it is not in the list either, it probably belongs to the look of the page rather than to its content. A short message to us clears that up.

10.3 Text that appears on several pages

Some text appears everywhere, in the menu at the top or in the footer. Those fields are marked “Appears on several pages”.

Change such a field and it changes everywhere. That is usually exactly right, but do take a look before you save.

10.4 Pages where something moves

Some pages show different content one after another, for example changing examples at the very top. miraCMS holds that movement still and offers you the individual steps. Pick a step to see and edit the text that appears there.

Long pieces of text

You are editing plain text. Bold type, paragraphs and spacing come from the way the page is built and stay as they are, even if you replace the text completely.
