Most day-to-day changes in the Website Editor happen directly on the page. You edit content in place, see updates immediately, and stay in control as you go.
Editing text on a page
Anywhere you see text on a page, you can click into it and start editing.
You can:
Type and edit text manually
Replace existing copy
Adjust wording without opening a separate editor
Changes appear instantly on the page, so you always see what your site will look like as you edit.
Using AI to generate or improve content
Instead of writing everything yourself, you can ask Durable to generate or update content for you.
When AI is available for a text area, you can describe what you want and Durable will generate content directly on the page. You can then edit, refine, or replace it as needed.
AI-generated content is just a starting point. You stay in full control of the final result.
Undoing changes
If you make a change you do not like, you can undo it.
Use Control-Z to step backward through your changes. You can undo actions all the way back to the start of your current editing session.
Undo works for:
Text changes
Editing images
Images inside sections can be edited individually.
Hover over an image and click Edit to:
Replace the image
Generate a new image
Upload your own image
Update the image’s alt text
Alt text is generated automatically, but you can edit it to better describe the image or support accessibility and search visibility.
Editing buttons and links
Buttons are editable wherever they appear.
Hover over a button and click Edit to change:
The button label
The link type
What the button links to
Buttons can link to:
A page on your site
An external website
An email address
A phone number
A specific section on a page
This makes it easy to guide visitors exactly where you want them to go.
Understanding editing scope
Edits you make inside a page affect only that page.
Editing content:
Does not affect other pages
Does not change global styles
Does not publish automatically
Design changes and page settings live elsewhere and are covered in separate articles.
Saving your content changes
Content edits are part of your current editing session.
When you are finished editing, click Publish Changes to save and make your updates live.
Path: Website Options Bar > Publish Changes
Important: If you leave the editor without publishing, your changes will not be saved.

Once you are comfortable editing content, the next step is learning how sections themselves work.
