Content edit mode | Slots

At a glance

The community member built a website for someone and gave them "content edit" mode. They noticed that the slots, while highlighted in a different color, did not have any explanation for what the colors meant. The community member suggests adding a message to the slots to inform the content editor that the changes will affect the entire site. The community member also notes that the content editor found the "content edit" mode very easy to use, in contrast to their previous experience with WordPress.

In the comments, another community member suggests that the ability to add descriptions should not be limited to just the slots, but should be available for any instance.

A few days ago, I showed someone how to modify the website I built for them. I gave them only "content edit" mode.

The one thing I noticed was the slots, while still called out as a different color - it would be helpful for the content editor users to know what those colors mean. Could a message be attached to the slot that tells them it will change across the entire site? (see my screenshot to see what I mean).

Side note: She loved the content edit mode as it was super easy for her to understand. She previously had a WordPress website and hated it.
