How to Edit Your Wix Studio Template in Content Mode

When you purchase a Wix Studio template, you don’t need full design access to make updates. Content Mode lets you safely edit your site’s text, images, and links without affecting its layout or design structure. It’s the easiest way to personalize your new website.

Key Takeaways

• Content Mode simplifies editing. It’s built for quick, safe updates to text, images, and links without touching your design.

• Best for non-design users. Perfect for template buyers, assistants, or team members who only need to manage content.

• Accessible from anywhere. You can open Content Mode from your dashboard or the editor menu in seconds.

• Switch when needed. Use Full Mode only for advanced design edits like layout changes or animations.

• Safe by design. Content Mode prevents accidental layout edits while keeping your site easy to maintain.

What Is Content Mode?

Content Mode is a simplified version of the Wix Studio Editor that allows you to:

• Update text anywhere on the site

• Replace images and videos

• Change links and buttons

• Edit collection (CMS) content

• Preview and publish updates instantly

This mode is ideal for template users who only need to update content, not redesign the site.

Who Should Use Content Mode

Content Mode is designed for users who want to manage their website without needing to understand design tools or layout settings. It’s ideal for:

• Template buyers and small business owners who want to update copy, images, or links without changing design structure.

• Team members or assistants responsible for keeping site content up to date (e.g., updating blog posts, listings, or bios).

• Agencies or freelancers who deliver sites to clients and want to prevent them from accidentally editing the layout.

• Businesses that delegate content management to non-design staff such as marketing or admin teams.

If you’re not planning to adjust structure, animations, or advanced layouts, Content Mode provides all the control you need.

How to Access Content Mode

There are two main ways to open Content Mode:

Option 1: From Your Wix Dashboard

1. Go to your site’s Home tab.

2. Click the small arrow next to Edit Site.

3. Select Content Mode.

   (See screenshot below for reference.)

Option 2: From Inside the Wix Studio Editor

1. Click the hamburger menu (☰) in the top-left corner.

2. Hover over Site.

3. Click Open in Content Mode.

What You Can Do in Content Mode

Once Content Mode opens, you’ll see your live website with editable fields highlighted on the right-hand side panel.

You can:

• Change titles and headings directly in the panel.

• Edit paragraph text to fit your brand’s tone.

• Swap out photos or videos by clicking “Change.”

• Update buttons and links (e.g., contact forms, social links, navigation).

• Edit CMS items like blog posts, listings, or team members (if your template includes them).

Going to the Full Editor from Content Mode

If you want to make deeper design edits—like changing layout, structure, or animations—you can switch from Content Mode to Full Mode.

To do that:

1. Click the arrow next to “Content Mode” at the top-left of your screen.

2. Choose “Open in Full Mode” (or “Edit Site”).

3. The site will reload in the full Wix Studio Editor.

In Full Mode, you can:

• Modify layouts, spacing, and design structure

• Add or remove sections

• Change fonts, colors, and animations

• Manage advanced site settings

Only use Full Mode if you’re comfortable working with the Wix Studio Editor, as it allows full access to your site’s design.

Why Use Content Mode For Your Wix Studio Template

• Safe editing: You can’t break the site layout or delete design elements.

• Fast updates: Instantly preview and publish changes.

• No design skills needed: Perfect for quick copy, media, and link updates.

• Ideal for teams: Content Mode is permission-based, so others can help manage content safely.

When using a template, always start with Content Mode for basic updates. Switch to Full Mode only when you need design-level control.

Final Notes

Content Mode gives you complete control over your site’s words and visuals without needing design experience. It’s built for everyday updates—swapping photos, rewriting headlines, fixing links, or keeping your listings fresh. For most users, this is all you need to maintain a professional, up-to-date website.

If you ever want to redesign or restructure your layout, you can easily switch to the full Wix Studio Editor. Until then, Content Mode keeps your Allioo Studio template secure, editable, and simple to manage.

• Personalize your content

• Replace demo images and videos

• Update your business information

• Adjust buttons and links

This gives you full control over your website’s message without touching the design structure.
