2sxc has powerful CMS features, most of them just work by magic. You can also modify the behavior to fit your needs.

When users edit content they usually use in-page buttons to access edit-dialogs and more. Here is a short overview and links to what you need to know.

The Standard Edit Dialogs

Editing mostly happens in stand-alone dialogs which are JavaScript based (built using Angular). These dialogs are typically dialogs like

edit an item
edit a combination of items - like a content item and an assigned presentation-settings item

Note that other edit-actions happen in-page directly, like move-up/down in a list etc.

In-Page Item Edit Toolbars
