The page editor is the central workspace in Limecube where you build and manage your website pages. It provides drag-and-drop editing, real-time previews, and full control over layout, content, and styling.
No changes are saved until you press the Save button. Always save your work before navigating away from the editor to avoid losing changes.
Header and Navigation
The header appears consistently across all pages, and header changes reflect on every page that displays it. Your logo, call-to-action and other header pieces are edited in the page editor, while your menu, header layout and footer are now managed in the Navigation Manager, open it with the Navigation button in the top function bar.
Looking for where to add pages to your menu, build a dropdown, or change your header layout? Those moved out of the page editor and into the Navigation Manager.
Page settings: the tabs have changed
Open a page's settings and you'll find four tabs (the panel docks to either side of the screen).

Changes to the page you're on preview live and are saved with the editor's main Save.
Editing the same page in two tabs
Limecube protects you from two browser tabs overwriting each other.
If another tab saves while you're working, a bar appears across the top of your screen: 'This page was just saved in another tab. Reload to see the latest version.', with Reload and Dismiss. Nothing is lost at this point; it's just letting you know your tab is now out of date.
If you save from the out-of-date tab, Limecube stops and asks you to choose:
- Overwrite: saves your version, replacing what the other tab saved
- Reload: loads the latest version. Anything unsaved in this tab is discarded, so only choose this if your changes don't matter.
Reload discards unsaved changes with no second chance, so if you're unsure, copy your text somewhere safe first. The same protection covers your header, footer, navigation menu and style editor, and applies to page settings as well as page content.
The Left Sidebar
The left sidebar provides quick access to your major editing functions: pages, section management, the elements library, the style editor, and shop management. It mirrors your site's page structure so you can switch between pages without leaving the editor. (Your menu structure and header/footer navigation are managed separately in the Navigation Manager.)
The Editing Area
The main canvas displays your page content as it will appear to visitors. Click on any element to select it, then use the floating toolbar to edit, move, duplicate, or delete it. Sections can be rearranged by dragging, and new content blocks can be added anywhere on the page.
Footer
The footer appears at the bottom of every page and can be customised with different layout options, colours, and content. Like the header, footer changes apply site-wide.
Previewing Your Page
Click the 'Visit Page' button in the top-right corner to preview your page in a new tab. The page must be marked as active for the preview to work. This shows you exactly what visitors will see.
Use the responsive preview modes to check how your page looks on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices before publishing.
