Working with XM Cloud Pages

XM Cloud Pages saves your changes automatically at regular intervals, or when you click away from the field that you are editing.

You can undo your edits, or inversely reinstate undone changes

When you create new pages or edit existing pages in XM Cloud Pages, you must publish your changes so they appear on your website. This lets you save unfinished items and decide exactly when your changes appear on the website.

XM Cloud is designed to let various users work simultaneously on the same content. In XM Cloud Pages, the tracking of changes happens at the field level. So, if user A edits field 1, and user B edits field 2 on the same page, both changes can be automatically saved without any issues.

However, all layout changes in the same page (such as adding, removing, or rearranging components, or changing the data source for a component) are considered as changes of the same field. In this case, all users working on the page will get the following notification: The item has been modified. Reload the item to see the latest changes.

This notification is usually displayed when the page that is currently open in your browser has been modified by another user, but it can also show if you yourself have modified the page in a different tab of the browser. In both cases, to ensure that you work on an updated page that includes all latest changes, as well as to avoid overwriting any new changes, refresh the browser tab when you see the notification and before you continue editing the page.

You can use keyboard shortcuts to apply formatting to text in the rich text editor.
