Editor (Advanced)
The Page Editor in the admin is a powerful text editor and page manager that enables you to create your page's content (including media files), its publishing and taxonomy options, settings, overrides, and theme-specific options.
It's essentially a one-stop-shop for managing a specific page.
In this page, we will go over the features and functionality found in the Advanced tab of the Page Editor.
Accessing the Pages functionality requires an access.admin.super or access.admin.pages.list permission, see User Accounts and User Groups
