Feature Overview: Visual Editing in Payload CMS allows content creators to see how their articles will look directly on the website as they edit. This real-time feedback reduces back-and-forth adjustments and streamlines content workflows.
How It Helps for Articles:
- Inline Editing: Make changes to article content, like headings or body text, and see updates instantly.
- Live Styling: Adjust styles such as fonts, colors, and spacing without leaving the editor.
- Content Blocks: Use reusable blocks (e.g., for hero images, callouts, or quotes) and preview how they integrate into the article layout.
Implementation Steps:
- Enable the Visual Editing feature in the Payload CMS settings.
- Configure your frontend framework (e.g., Next.js) to support live previews.
- Add a preview mode in your website to render unpublished drafts.
Real-World Use Case: A blog editor can write an article, format it using rich text tools, and preview how it fits with the overall design of the blog page before publishing.
