Text editing
From the Texts page you can edit your site's texts directly without the chat. This is a quick way to make small changes like fixing typos or updating contact details. Editing texts does not use Kamusaldo.
How does it work?
- Open your site in the dashboard
- Go to the Texts page
- Pick a page from the list on the left. Shared parts are parts shown on several pages, such as the menu and the footer: a change to them shows on every page that has the part.
- The left column has the current text. Type the new text in the right-hand field.
- Press Publish
Changed rows are highlighted, and the top shows the number of unpublished changes. Pressing it shows only the changed texts. You can undo a single change with the arrow button on its row, and all changes at once with Discard changes.
Unpublished changes stay in the browser you made them in until you publish or discard them. If someone else changed the same texts at the same time, the conflicting rows are marked and you see the other editor's text. You can use theirs or keep yours and publish again.
Search
With the search field in the left list you can search all texts. This is handy when the site has many texts and you want to find a specific section quickly.
Multilingual support
If the site supports multiple languages, you can switch languages from the dropdown at the top of the page. In other languages the default-language text is shown on the left, and the translation goes in the right-hand field. If a field is left empty, the default language text is used.
When to use the text editor vs. chat?
| Text editor | Chat |
|---|---|
| Quick small changes | Larger changes |
| Fixing typos | New pages or sections |
| Updating contact details | Design changes |
| Precise text changes | Replacing images |
You can also change a single text by asking the assistant behind the dashboard's ? button. It finds the text and shows the change on a card, where you publish it.
Published texts are always visible at the preview address {site}.kskamu.app. If automatic publishing is on, they also appear on your own domain. See Publishing.
