Editor tour
With the storefront editor’s tools, you can easily make and publish changes directly on your site. Here’s a quick tour of the editor:
The editor includes the following sections:
- Components: The components panel contains all the components you can drag and drop into your page. It’s organized into categories like Layout, Text, Content, Product Catalog, and Footer. Select and drag a component onto the canvas to start customizing it.
- Outline: The outline panel provides an outline view of your page, showing the hierarchy of all components added to the canvas. Use this to quickly navigate between sections or components on your page.
- Canvas: The central workspace where you build your page. You can see a live preview of your design as you add and customize components. Drag components directly onto the canvas to add them to a page. Select on any component in the canvas to customize it.
- Preview tools: The preview tools above the main canvas allow you to zoom in and out and preview your page in different screen sizes. Toggle between different device icons to see how your page looks on mobile, tablet, or desktop.
- Settings: When you select a component on the canvas, this panel displays its customization options to modify properties like color, text, and images.
- Page actions: The actions toolbar contains actions for managing your page, such as publishing, saving drafts, and undoing or redoing changes:
