Editor (Content)
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.
Accessing the Pages functionality requires an access.admin.super or access.admin.pages.list permission, see User Accounts and User Groups
Tabs that appear in the Page Editor are not universal. There are a default set of form fields that are commonly found in Grav themes, however these can vary between themes. The admin pulls form field information from a number of sources including the theme and the template used for the specific page.
The tabs and options represented in this documentation are by default. Theme developers have the ability to add their own options to these tabs, or even to do away with these tabs and replace them with something entirely different. We are documenting a common-case scenario based on the Antimatter theme to serve as an example.
In this page, we will go over the features and functionality found in the Content tab of the Page Editor.
Controls
Along the top of the page, you will find the administrative controls that enable you to save, delete, copy, and move your page. Additionally, you can hit the Back button to get back to the main Pages area of the admin.
The Save and Delete buttons are pretty self-explanatory. They save and delete the currently-accessed page, respectively.
Selecting the Move button activates a popup that gives you the ability to assign a new parent to the page. You have the same option in the Advanced tab.
Copy creates a duplicate of your current page, appending a -2 (or other numeric prefix if -2 is already in use) to the end of the folder name. You can change both the folder name and title as you see fit.
Title
The title of a page is typically set during that page's creation, however you can edit it after the fact here. Note that changing the page's title here will not have a direct impact on the folder name (which is used for navigation purposes) but it will change what people see on the front end.
Page Editor Content
This is the heart of the Page Editor. It is where your page's content body is written and edited. It features many powerful tools typically only found in premium browser-based text editors.
For example, you can switch between edit and preview views using the and buttons located in the upper-right area of the editor.
Because Grav's content is primarily based in markdown, the editing shortcuts automatically append markdown tags to your content. For example, highlighting a block of text and selecting the B icon surrounds the highlighted area with **(selected area)** bold tags.
Here is a breakdown of the tools found in the content editor:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| Adds Bold tags to your content. | |

| Toggles to a full-page edit or preview view. |
Page Media
The Page Media section at the bottom of the Content tab is all about media files for your page. These files exist in the same folder as the page's markdown file. Uploading new media files is as simple as dragging-and-dropping a file, or tapping in the white area of the section. This will bring up a file selector that enables you to pick files for upload.
Already have media files you'd like to insert into your page? Just move your mouse cursor over the image thumbnail and drag-and-drop the image into the editor.
Alternatively you can select Insert option on the image thumbnail. This will insert the media directly into your page's content.
You can also delete media files by selecting Delete.
