Open Editor

In ImCMS, there are three modes of text editor: plain text, html and what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor.

There are several ways to open Text Editor :

  1. Over text editor’s label:

    • Go Edit Mode on admin panel. On each text tag in this mode you will see the pencil icon:

  2. Over direct editing feature - go to /api/admin/text?meta-id={id-of-doc-here}&index={index-number-of-text}, example: http://imcms.dev.imcode.com/api/admin/text?meta-id=1001&index=1
