Editor Guide 

The Page Module is where a Grid Element's structure becomes something an editor actually works with. Its rows, columns and cells show up as real areas on the page, and each one behaves like any other column an editor already knows how to use: content can be created in it, moved into it, or removed from it, right where it belongs.

This guide covers that everyday work. An editor can place content directly in the structural area it belongs to, move existing content between areas, nest one Grid Element inside another to build more elaborate layouts, and bring in content that already exists elsewhere by referencing it instead of duplicating it. Restrictions configured on a cell narrow down what can be placed there, so the structure itself steers an editor toward a valid result instead of leaving the rules to memory.

Two tools cover most day-to-day content creation inside a grid. TYPO3's standard New Content Element Wizard remains available, exactly as on any page column. Grid Elements also provides its own Drag-In Wizard, which lets an editor pick an element and place it in one motion, without a detour through a separate dialog. Used consistently, the Drag-In Wizard covers that workflow directly.
