One of the first projects that was kicked off with the merger of Adobe and BC was to integrate InContext Editing and make it available within BC to replace Sitewalk as the 'live view' editor that your clients use to edit their site content. A lot of effort has gone into this project and the results are now available for you and your clients to try by clicking on 'Website > InContext Editing' in your Admin Console.
InContext Editing is a huge improvement over Sitewalk, a few highlights that I'd like to point out include:
What's happening to Sitewalk?
- As a BC Partner you can now set editable regions using Dreamweaver to control which parts of their BC sites your clients have the ability to edit when they are using InContext Editing
- Content editing is more intuitive - you edit 'InContext" on the page rather than having an editor pop-up as was the case with Sitewalk
- The new InContext content editor is much more robust compared with the Sitewalk text editor
InContext Editing will be in Beta for the next 12 weeks during which Sitewalk will continue to remain available. When the Beta period ends, Sitewalk will reach end-of-life and be removed from Business Catalyst. During the Beta period for InContext Editing we will continue to make small improvements and also take the opportunity publish extensive documentation on how to use it in the new Knowledgebase.
So what are you waiting for? Go on...demo InContext Editing to your clients. :)
