Editing Blog Posts

Edit a post

In writing mode, text inside rich text blocks can be selected and edited directly without triggering page-builder drag or selection controls.

Opening a post no longer pulls focus away from the title or shows the rich text toolbar before you click into the body. Click the body when you are ready to write; the editor keeps the caret near the clicked text, keeps slash commands inside the editor, and hides page-builder drag handles while you are editing the post body.

Type / while writing to add headings, lists, media, dividers, or a Code Embed. Code embeds keep custom HTML, CSS, or JavaScript inside the article, with a reserved height and a choice to load when visible or immediately. See Dynamic Text Widget for the full rich-text controls.

If a supported frame is missing from an imported post, an approved connected assistant or Website API Key workflow can add the embed before or after an existing paragraph without rebuilding the rest of the post. Review the saved draft and the embed's source before publishing.

Draft behavior while editing

• Saved draft content now reopens automatically when you return to a post.
• The editor requests fresh post and draft data while you work, which helps avoid stale versions.
• If draft save fails, the editor now shows the returned error so you can fix access or validation issues quickly.
• If a save or publish attempt fails, Hiveality tries to keep a recovery copy when the post contains meaningful content.
• If a post draft changes in another tab or session, Hiveality tries to save a recovery copy automatically so you have another restore point before reloading.
• When edits happen quickly while a save is still finishing, Hiveality queues the newest draft and saves it next so the latest post content is preserved.
• Title, settings, featured media, and publish actions use the same shared-draft safeguards as content edits, so conflicts are surfaced before another session's draft is overwritten.

Shared draft editing

• If someone else is editing the post, it opens in View-only mode until they hand it off or you reload the latest draft.
• Use the collaboration status pill to see whether the post is in Editing, View-only, Waiting, Paused, or Conflict.
• Paused means the active editor stepped away during a shared-editing session. Their session can still resume editing if they return soon.
• Open the collaboration status panel to see who is here now, whether another session is actively editing or only viewing, and when someone was last active.
• Choose Request editing when you want the current editor to pass the draft to you.
• If you receive a request, use the checkpoint handoff option to save a recovery copy and pass the latest draft. Choose Keep editing if you want to stay in control of the post for now.
• Open the collaboration status panel to send quick notes, review short message previews, and dictate a message before you send it.
• Short tab or app switches keep your editing session for a brief grace period, so returning to the post is less likely to force a fresh handoff.
• If your workspace allows it and the post stays stuck in Waiting, use Force takeover to move editing access to your session.

Version history for posts

• Open Version History to preview Saved Draft, Snapshot, and Live Version entries.
• Draft changes saved through a connected assistant or Website API Key workflow create usable checkpoints without changing the post's live status.
• Restore Content brings back the title, featured media, and body content while keeping your current post settings.
• Restore All brings back the full post state, including categories, tags, CTAs, and other saved settings, into the current draft.

Manage posts from the list

• Use Search posts... to filter by title or slug.
• Each post shows its status: draft, published, or scheduled.
• Open the Settings menu to:
  • Edit
  • View (published posts only)
  • Delete

Link choices and blog cards

In writing mode, clicking inside the link selector no longer refocuses the article and dismisses its dropdowns. Choose the destination, confirm the link, and review it in the saved draft.

Blog List cards on preview and published pages refresh after published post changes even when the page previously saved an older set of cards. Draft-only post edits remain unpublished. You do not need to republish the containing page to refresh its listing cards.
