The Admin Panel of the Simple Editor allows you to customize and configure your own Simple Editor flow with zero development effort.

Sections
There are 10 sections available, each with different layouts and purposes. From the Admin Panel, you can customize which sections are available, edit the sections, change the order sections are displayed during onboarding, and which sections are pre-selected for the client during onboarding.
The following are the actions you can take:
Order. Drag and drop sections to change the order in which they are displayed during onboarding.
Pre-Selected. Select the checkbox to make the section automatically selected when the user is onboarding.
Availability. Turn off the toggle to remove a section. Users will not be able to use or view this section during onboarding or in the editor.
Edit. To edit the default state of a section, hover on the desired section, click the three horizontal dots, and select Edit section. You can edit existing elements, including removing elements by toggling them off. You can also change the section’s name, description, title, and Reset to default settings. Customer’s will have the same options when creating their site, for example, if an element is toggled off, they will be able to toggle it back on. Additional elements are not able to be added.
Themes
Themes consist of fonts and color palettes that determine the visual appearance of the site. The user can select a theme during the onboarding process and replace it at any time in the editor.
In the Admin Panel you can control which themes are available during both onboarding and in the editor. To remove a theme, switch the Availability toggle to off. You can also change the order in which themes are displayed during onboarding and in the editor. To change the order, drag and drop the theme into the desired place in the list.
