Edit from the live preview
Updated October 2, 2026
The live preview in the Website editor is the real site, not a mock-up. You can use it to find and edit things quickly.
Switch between phone and desktop
Use the phone and desktop buttons above the preview to see your site at each size. Most customers order on a phone, so check that view first.
Click to edit
- Click a section in the preview.
- The matching settings open in the left column and the preview scrolls to it.
- Change the text or image. The preview refreshes a moment after you stop typing.
Edit text directly
Some headline and text fields can be edited right in the preview. Click the text, type your change, and the matching field on the left updates.
Preview before publishing
The preview shows your draft, including changes you haven't published. Customers still see the last published version until you click Publish.
Note: If the preview says it couldn't load, click Try again. A brand-new site can take a moment to be ready.
