Overview

Depending on your permissions within a web, you may or may not be able to take certain actions (including viewing, commenting, or editing) on a page.

Types of modes

"Edit" vs "view"

• →

  Editable: a page is fully editable. Click inside a block to edit it.

• →

  Editable (locked): even with edit permission on a page, you may find it has been "locked" to prevent its accidental editing. It is easy to lock and unlock a page (when you have the appropriate permission to do so), by clicking the "Lock"/"Unlock" button in a page's header, next to the "Share" button.

• →

  View only: a page cannot be edited. Blocks will be selectable, but not editable. Certain blocks may be interactive, but changes will not be persisted for other users.

Additional permissions

Additionally, you may have the following capabilities available to you on a page:

• →

  Comment: you may be able to leave comments on a block, or with reference to a particular part of a page.

• →

  Suggest: short of the ability to edit a page directly, you may have the ability to propose changes to a page (adding new information, or updating existing information).

Previewing modes

Depending on your permissions, you may be able to toggle between different modes, to preview how a page looks to others.
