Editors

Open the overlay

Enter edit mode on a live site with Mod+Shift+M, sign in as a site user, and use the overlay chrome to navigate and edit.

Keyboard shortcut
Default shortcut is ⌘⇧M (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+M (Windows/Linux), also written as Mod+Shift+M. Your site developer may customize it in macro.config.js — ask them if the default does nothing.

Sign in

  1. Open the website

    Visit the page you want to edit in a normal browser tab (production or staging).

  2. Press the shortcut

    An in-page sign-in modal appears. There is no separate /login page for editors.

  3. Use your site-user account

    Sign in with the email and password your team set up under Dashboard → Users (website editors). Dashboard collaborator logins are not the same as overlay site users.

Overlay chrome

After login, Macro wraps the page with editor UI. Typical pieces:

NameTypeDescription
Inline highlightspageEditable keys glow or outline on the page so you can click them in context.
Right sidebarpanelField inspector for the selected key — text, image picker, richtext, or component fields.
Rail / treenavNavigate structure (pages, groups, components) when the page has nested content.
Version bartoolbarSwitch draft vs live, create drafts, preview older versions, and publish.
Click what you see
Highlighted regions on the page are editable. Click text to type inline; open the sidebar for fields that need a picker, rich editor, or component settings.

Leaving edit mode

Use the overlay’s exit / logout control when you are done. Unsaved prompts may appear if a draft still has pending changes — finish editing or discard before leaving.
