Edit Menu

Each content element on the page displays an edit button when you hover over it. A small label also shows the content element's type and its position on the page.

Clicking this button opens the Edit Menu with various actions:

Edit Content Element - Open the content element in the backend editor
Edit page - Open the current page properties
Hide/Unhide - Toggle visibility of the content element
Info - Display content element information
Move - Reorder the content element
History - View the content element's history
New content after - Add a new content element after this one
Delete - Delete the content element (with confirmation dialog)

Note

The New content after entry can be hidden via the frontendEdit.showInsertButtons site setting, which also controls the hover insert buttons.

Note

The Edit Menu is only displayed if the backend user has the necessary permissions to edit the content element.

Delete Confirmation

New in version 2.3.0

Clicking Delete opens a confirmation dialog before the record is removed. The dialog shows the record title and identifier (e.g. My Element [tt_content:42]) so editors can verify they are deleting the correct element.

Escape, the close button, or clicking the backdrop cancels the action
Focus returns to the previously focused element after closing
On success, a notification is shown and the page reloads automatically

Requirements

The Edit Menu needs each content element to be identifiable in the rendered HTML. With fluid_styled_content this works out of the box; custom templates need one small addition.
