Edit content from the display page template

[cfnz]

Hi, just exploring the new CMS features and comparing them to the older “Maintenance Mode” web content feature, and I have a question…

With the old way, when you navigate to view web content using a display page template, you get the option of editing the content from where you naturally view it:

With the new CMS way, the display page content does not have the edit content menu:

The only way I have found that you can edit the content is via the CMS assets page, so if a user is navigating the site, find something they want to change, they then have to go out of the browsing mode, go into the CMS view, try and find the same article they were viewing in “the view mode” and then edit it. They will then probably want to go back to the area they were viewing to see if the change looks good in place.

This seems like a backwards step, or am I missing something?

Thanks for any suggestions

Hey @cfnz, thanks for opening the topic. I see your point, but there is a conceptual change we we decouple the content from the sites. When the content is decoupled from the site, it can be used from multiple different sites, facilitating the user to edit it directly from the site can generate changes in other sites/channels that this content is being used. I see your point in facilitating the navigation to find it more easily.

I will investigate with the team how this could be facilitated, but it makes sense to me that we enable users (with the proper permissions) to find what they are looking for in a easier way.
