Have I ever mentioned how amazing Webflow is? This is how amazing it is.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:09,770
Besides the Designer, it has another view called the Editor, which you can access from here.
2

3
00:00:09,930 --> 00:00:15,600
Editor is a place for clients and collaborators to edit the content of the website. And they can do
3

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,800
this right on the live site. Literally, on the live site.
4

5
00:00:19,870 --> 00:00:23,160
No ugly content management and text editors.
5

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,040
You can just click on the content and start editing.
6

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,960
This is so incredibly useful for clients, that I can't even put it in words. Your clients aren't usually
7

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,360
tech-savvy and last thing they want to do is figure out how content management systems work.
8

9
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:42,330
And the last thing you want is your client e-mailing you every time they need some sort of small change
9

10
00:00:42,330 --> 00:00:46,650
in the headline, to remove a comma or add a new word to it.
10

11
00:00:46,710 --> 00:00:51,720
These sort of requests will creep up on you after you have finalized and shipped your project to clients.
11

12
00:00:51,810 --> 00:00:57,390
Well if you're getting paid hourly, that's fine. But if you're getting paid per project, then you are working
12

13
00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:58,610
for free.
13

14
00:00:58,620 --> 00:01:04,660
We cannot change any styles or layout from the editor. That's inside the Designer. Here it's just content
14

15
00:01:04,670 --> 00:01:10,640
be it text, images or links. You can change an image just by clicking on it and uploading a different one.
15

16
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:22,350
You can also change a link's destination URL or the text.
16

17
00:01:29,940 --> 00:01:34,270
The changes won't be reflected on the live site until you click the publish button.
17

18
00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:41,270
After that, all the changes will go live instantly and it's that simple.
18

19
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,520
And obviously, these changes will be reflected in the designer too. Which we can switch to from here.
19

20
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,340
In case we want to restrict access to some parts of the content from the editor, inside the designer,
20

21
00:01:58,340 --> 00:02:03,980
we can go to the elements setting panel and uncheck "collaborators can edit this element".
21

22
00:02:04,610 --> 00:02:10,340
And now the headline won't be editable inside the editor. Inside the project settings we can add
22

23
00:02:10,340 --> 00:02:11,760
extra collaborators.
23

24
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,580
This is independent from the main account and it's going to give access to the content management
24

25
00:02:16,580 --> 00:02:17,750
of the site.
25

26
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:23,400
This gives access to the editor to form submissions, page settings, creating new CMS items,
26

27
00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:25,610
like blog posts and so on.
27

28
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:28,610
So that's the Editor. Quite simple yet powerful.
28

29
00:02:28,610 --> 00:02:31,270
There is nothing that we actually need to do about it.
29

30
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,080
I just wanted to show you around, because I don't usually work with an editor, as... because I work through
30

31
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:36,760
the Designer.
31

32
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,750
But this is usually something that you, sort of teach your clients. And tell them,
32

33
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:42,000
"OK,
33

34
00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:47,600
so this is the option and this is how you do it, this is how you edit the pages and so on. Webflow actually
34

35
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,130
has tutorials on the Editor.
35

36
00:02:49,130 --> 00:02:54,150
So sometimes you can just send the video tutorial like that. Or you can record your own video tutorial.
36

37
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:54,710
Up to you.
37

38
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,600
And that concludes the third and big part of this course, which was about Webflow and development.
38

39
00:02:59,660 --> 00:03:02,920
In the next part we're going to do a full client project.
39

40
00:03:02,930 --> 00:03:03,470
Stick around.
