**Framer officially launched On-Page Editing**, a feature designed to **democratize website content editing**, reduce CMS complexity, and usher in a new phase of **true collaboration between designers, marketers, writers, and developers**. Here's everything you need to know.

---

## Why This Feature Matters

[Framer](https://framer.link/pNQ39J0) has always delivered pixel-perfect design tools with powerful customization. But **for non-designers, even the cleanest UIs can be intimidating**. While teams often bridge this gap using Framer’s CMS to let marketers and writers manage content, even the CMS interface can overwhelm casual users or busy stakeholders.

Framer asked a bold question:

> *What if anyone could confidently make content updates, directly on the site, without touching the design canvas or navigating a CMS?*

**Enter: On-Page Editing.**  
It’s not just a quality-of-life improvement, it's a **foundational step toward a future where websites are built for collaboration, not just creation.**

---

## ✨ What Is On-Page Editing?

### TL;DR:

Framer's *On-Page Editing* allows **any team member,** designer or not, to:

- Edit live site content in the browser
- See changes reflected in real-time on the design canvas
- Create and manage CMS content without opening the CMS
- Collaborate asynchronously or in real-time
- Add entire new CMS-driven pages using simple on-page tools

## 🔍 Feature Breakdown

###  Edit Inline, Right on the Site

Click the new **"Edit"** button on any live Framer site (browser view), and editable areas are outlined in blue. Just click and type, no code, no complexity.

It works on:

- Static pages
- [CMS-powered content](https://framer.link/pNQ39J0)
- Components with editable variables (text, images)

**Image editing?** Yep, that’s built-in too. Users can:

- Swap images
- Crop them
- Set fit, position, alt text
- Use familiar controls, not complex UI panels

---

### 🔁 Real-Time Collaboration

Changes made in edit mode update **instantly** on the design canvas. Designers working in Framer see these updates live, and vice versa. It’s a **true single source of truth**.

---

### ✅ Controlled Editing Permissions

Editors only see what they’re allowed to change:

- Designers control what’s editable via component variables
- Role-based permissions prevent unintentional design changes
- No publishing rights? No problem, edit, then hand off for review

---

### 📄 CMS Editing: Now Visual

Forget digging through backend CMS interfaces. Now, users can:

- Edit CMS collection content right on the site
- Update any visible field
- Get prompted to complete required fields

And yes, **rich text editing is here**, with inline tools like:

- Headings
- Lists
- Images
- Embedded YouTube videos (with popovers for autoplay/thumbnails)
- Date pickers for date fields

---

### 🆕 Add [New Pages Visually](https://framer.link/pNQ39J0)

Users can now **create new CMS items** directly from the site, generating new pages complete with:

- Placeholder fields for content
- A real-time view of how it will look
- Draft-saving for approval flows

It’s like Notion meets Webflow, **but on a live website**.

## 🧑‍💼 Who Is This For?

> But editable and expandable by anyone.

In the near future, we can expect:
