Using the Editor

The Simple Page editor runs inside every Simple Page site. Click Edit to start changing the site in your browser.

Editor Tabs

Tab What it does
Preview See the current page as visitors will see it.
Edit Write markdown with syntax highlighting and optional side-by-side preview.
Pages Create, preview, edit, delete, and restore pages.
Files Upload files, create folders, preview media, copy paths, delete or restore files.
Agents Authorize CLI agent keys to submit signed drafts.
Drafts Review and publish agent-created drafts.
Publish Stage changes and sign the ENS contenthash transaction.

The hamburger menu opens Settings, Subscription, and Quit editor.

Writing Markdown

The editor is markdown-first. Every change is saved locally.

  • Use standard markdown for headings, links, images, lists, tables, code blocks, and HTML.
  • Use frontmatter for page title, description, navigation, and RSS settings.
  • Use the side-by-side toolbar button to edit and preview at the same time.
  • Use internal links like [About](/about/) to link pages.

Preview

Preview renders your local unpublished changes with the current template, theme, sidebars, media, and internal links.

Preview does not publish anything. Visitors only see changes after you use the Publish tab.

Pages

Pages are folders with an index.md file.

/                       homepage
/about/                 about page
/blog/first-post/       nested page

Reserved paths such as /feed and /rss.xml cannot be created as pages because they are used for RSS.

Files And Media

Files live under /_files/. Upload them in the Files tab, then embed or link them from markdown:

![Photo](/_files/img/photo.jpg)
[Download PDF](/_files/docs/file.pdf)

Audio and video files render as media players when embedded with markdown image syntax.

Agents And Drafts

Agents and Drafts are for CLI and team workflows.

  • Agents lets the ENS owner authorize a CLI-generated did:key for a limited time.
  • Drafts lists signed draft refs submitted by agents and lets the ENS owner preview and publish one.

See CLI Reference for the terminal side of this workflow.

Settings

Settings control appearance, search, donation notices, and local cache cleanup.

Changes to settings are local until you publish.

History

The shield/history icon beside the domain opens the History page. History shows indexed previous versions and lets the ENS owner restore an older CID by publishing it again.

Offline Mode

You can keep editing pages while offline after the site has loaded. Local edits remain in your browser. Publishing, uploading files, loading new upstream data, and wallet transactions require a connection.
