Site Editor

The Site Editor allows you to make simple changes to the source content (i.e. native language) of your website using the Localize dashboard, without having to go through the expensive and time-consuming process of involving your development team.

Enabling the Site Editor

To enable the Site Editor, click the Site Editor checkbox in your Project Settings: Project Profile, or click the Try Site Editor button on the Site Editor overview page.

Setting Permissions

You will also need to modify your team permissions here, and add the Site Editor permission to the desired team member(s) and project(s).

• Click Manage Access on the Team page for each team member that will be using the Site Editor.
• You can either add the permission across all projects, or grant it for specific projects.
