Page Editor

Last updated 7 August 2026

Builds the pages a Web Console serves. Blocks are dragged onto a canvas, bound to things in the show, and served to a browser. Opened from the Web Consoles window, or from a Web Console's Inspector.

With nothing chosen the editor reads Select a Web Console to edit its page.

Applying changes

Edits live in the editor until applied. Nothing reaches a browser before that.

Control	Description
Apply	Saves the page and keeps editing.
Apply & Close	Saves and closes the editor.
Close	Closes without saving.
Revert	Discards unsaved changes and reloads the last applied state.
Reset	Clears all content and returns the page to default. Asks first.

Opening the served page with edits pending prompts first.The page has unsaved changes that won't appear until saved. Save and open? — the served page shows the last applied state, not what is on the canvas.

Viewing the page

Control	Description
Open in Browser	Opens the served page in the system browser.
Open in Window	Opens it as a tab in the Web View window.

Style

A page's style is CSS, and it applies to every page of the console and to the served output, not only the page being edited.

Control	Description
Export Style	Downloads the current style as a `.css` file, or a template to edit.
Import Style	Uploads a `.css` file as the style.
Copy HTML	Copies the canvas HTML and its computed backgrounds to the clipboard.

Pages

A console holds one or more pages; the first is served at the base path unless another is the default.

Control	Description
Page list	Select a page to edit it. Double-click to rename.
+	Adds a page, named `Page N`.
Set as Default	Makes this the page served at the console's base path.
Duplicate	Copies the page, with its content.
Delete	Removes the page.

Images and media

Drop image files onto the canvas to place them. They are copied into the page's media folder under the media root, so the served page does not depend on the file staying where it was.

A media root has to be configured, and has to exist. Without it the editor reports Media root path is not configured or does not exist. Cannot copy files for page editor. and the drop does nothing.

Video, background video and PDF files are not placed on the canvas by dropping. They are copied into page media, and the editor then says: add a Video, Background Video or PDF block and pick the file from the block's Source dropdown.
