Blog Post Editor
How the blog post editor is laid out, what the action buttons do, and how the article body area works.
The blog post editor is the workspace used for both new and existing posts. Everything important sits on one screen: title and publish settings at the top, categories and tags in the middle, and the article body builder underneath.
Action Buttons Across The Top
- Preview: prepares a preview of the post so you can check the final output before publishing.
- Save post: stores the current changes.
- Desktop and Mobile: switches the body builder preview between larger and smaller layouts so you can spot spacing or image problems earlier.
- Delete post: only appears when editing an existing post.
Working Through The Editor
- Start with metadata: title, slug, author, status, publish timing, and featured image.
- Add the excerpt next: this does a lot of work on archive cards and previews, so it is worth writing properly rather than treating it as filler.
- Choose categories and tags: this keeps the archive tidy and makes related content easier to browse later.
- Finish in the article body: build the main content after the surrounding metadata is settled.
The Article Body Area
The Article body builder is where the full post content lives. It supports media from the blog library and can preview against the current website template when tenant website templates are available. That makes it easier to check how the post will feel inside the live site rather than as a plain editor document.
Why The Editor Splits Things This Way
The top fields control how the post is found, grouped, and published. The lower builder controls how it reads. Keeping those separate makes it easier to update SEO or scheduling later without rewriting the article itself.
