  • Enable Quick editing

Although the selected widgets are highlighted in the preview of Quick Editor, we recommend renaming the widgets in the Layers sidebar.
  • This way the Quick editing will be more seamless, and the target widgets will be more recognizable if too many widgets are presented on the page.

Widget behaviour​

  • Widget is empty before Quick Editing

    • If you edit a widget in Quick Editor that does not contain any value, the widget will display the value you set in the Quick Editor.
    • If the widget is unable to handle the given value, it will show nothing due to non-existing fallback value.

  • Widget is not empty before Quick Editing

    • If you edit a widget in Quick Editor that contains any value, the widget will display the value you set in the Quick Editor.
    • If the widget is unable to handle the given value, it will show the original value.

  • Widget is bound to datasource while Quick Editing

    • If you edit a widget in Quick Editor that is bound to a datasource, the widget will NOT display the value you set in the Quick Editor.
    • This value cannot be overwritten manually.

  • Widget is bound to base datasource while Quick Editing

    • If you edit a widget in Quick Editor that is bound to the base datasource, the widget will NOT display the value you set in the Quick Editor.
    • If you wish to change this value in the widget, use the Base datasource Quick Edit feature.

Channel widget​

In the case of the Channel widget, you can change only the tags used for channel filtering from the quick edit panel — you cannot switch the referenced channel directly. Quick Edit adjusts which channels play by updating the tag-based filtering, while the widget's channel reference stays unchanged.

Custom widget (URL type only)​

In the case of the custom widget, you can overwrite the URL inside the Widget properties >> Main >> URL.

URL Type Only

Only custom widgets set to URL type support Quick Edit functionality. Custom widgets set to HTML Code type do not support Quick Edit.

Quick Editable Widgets (Performance mode required)​

Performance mode requirement

Quick Edit on the Slide, Playlist, Content, and Contents widgets only works when Performance mode is enabled on the widget — or when the widget is inside a Slide that is embedded into a Playlist (Playlists always run in Performance mode, so anything nested inside them qualifies automatically).

Slide widget (Slide only)​

In the case of the Slide widget, you can change which slide the widget embeds directly from the quick edit panel. Instead of overwriting a value, Quick Edit presents the slide selector so you can pick a different slide.

Playlist widget (Slide only)​

In the case of the Playlist widget, you can change which playlist(s) the widget references directly from the quick edit panel. Quick Edit opens the playlist selector so you can swap the referenced playlists without opening the full Content editor.

Content widget (Content only)​

In the case of the Content widget, you can change which Content item the widget references directly from the quick edit panel. Unlike the Slide and Playlist widgets, the Content widget has no restriction on what content type can be selected from Quick Edit — any Content item is allowed.

Contents widget (Content only)​

In the case of the Contents widget, you can change which Content items (multiple) the widget references directly from the quick edit panel. Like the Content widget, the Contents widget has no restriction on what content types can be selected from Quick Edit.
