Edit Text Without a Developer
You do not need a developer to fix a typo, update your hours, or reword a headline. With the DCS portal's Visual Editor you change the words on your website yourself, on a live preview of your real site, and queue the update for your next release. No code, no ticket, no waiting on someone else's calendar.
This page is a quick orientation. For the full walkthrough, see the Visual Editor guide.
How it works
- Open a page. In the portal, go to your site's Content Pages and pick the page you want to change.
- Double-click the text. The editor shows a live preview of your site. Double-click the words you want to edit and type your new copy in place.
- Review what you changed. Every edit is held in a pending-changes tray in the toolbar, so you can see everything you have staged before committing.
- Save to queue it. Click Save, and your changes are queued for your next release.
Save queues your change — it doesn't publish instantly
When you Save, your text is queued for deployment. It goes live with your next release rather than the instant you click Save. This is deliberate: it lets you stage several edits, review them together, and ship them as one clean release. To follow a queued change all the way to a live site, see Releases & Version History.
What else you can do yourself
The same editor lets you do far more than swap words:
- Replace images directly on the page — see Images & Media.
- Write blog posts and events in a full rich-text editor.
- Check every screen size with the built-in device and zoom controls.
- Ask the AI assistant to draft a change, then review and Save it yourself.
