> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

There are two main differences between editing structured pages and Page (menu item) pages in Kentico:

- In the **Pages** application, you mainly edit the content of structured pages on the **Form** tab.
- In the **Pages** application, you mainly edit the content of Page (menu item) pages on the **Page** tab.

In this topic, you can learn about:

## Editing pages in the Pages application

1. Open the **Pages** application.

   **Editing structured pages**

   1. In Content tree, click on the page that you want to edit.

   2. Switch to the **Form** tab.

      ![](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/k82/editing-pages/editing_document_interface.png)
   3. Use [the editor](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/managing-website-content/working-with-pages/editing-pages/using-the-editor.md) to make changes to the page.

   **Editing Page (menu item) pages**

   1. In Content tree, click on the page that you want to edit.

      ![](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/k82/editing-pages/selecting_page.png)
   2. Make sure you are on the **Page** tab.
   3. Click into an editable region.

   4. Use [the editor](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/managing-website-content/working-with-pages/editing-pages/using-the-editor.md) to make changes in the editable region.
2. **Save** the changes that you made.

The system reloads the page to display the updated content. You can now preview  the changes that you made to the page.

### Previewing the changes that you made to the page

You can preview how the changed page looks by switching to the **Preview** view mode.

The **Preview** mode allows you to see how the page looks even if it hasn't been published yet. That is, you always see the last version of the page.

**Live site** allows you to see the page the way site visitors currently see it. Note, however, that **Live site** doesn't have to show the latest version of the page that you edited. For example, when the latest version of the page hasn't been published yet. To open Live site, use the **Live site** button in the [Applicationlist](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/using-the-kentico-interface.md).

## Editing pages on the Live site

1. Log on to the live site.
2. Click on **Edit page** in the top left corner.

   ![](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/k82/editing-pages/edit_page_onsite.png)

   Navigate to the page that you want to edit.

   **Editing structured pages**

   1. Click on the **Edit** button on the top panel. An **Edit page** dialog appears.
   2. Edit the page using [the editor](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/managing-website-content/working-with-pages/editing-pages/using-the-editor.md). This editing dialog is equivalent to the one on the **Form** tab of the **Pages** application.

      ![](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/k82/editing-pages/editing_document.png)

   **Editing Page (menu item) pages**

   1. Move your mouse over the section of the page that you want to edit. The system automatically highlights the editable regions as you move your mouse over them.

      > **Tip:** You can use the **Highlight** action on the on-site editing toolbar above the page. The button makes all editable items placed on the page visible at the same time. This way you can easily find all editable text regions and editable images and modify them as necessary.
   2. Click on the **Edit** () button of the editable region that you want to edit. An **Edit text** dialog appears.

      ![](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/k82/editing-pages/editing_page_on_livesite.png)
   3. Use [the editor](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/managing-website-content/working-with-pages/editing-pages/using-the-editor.md) to make changes to the text.
3. **Save** the changes that you made.

The system reloads the page to display the updated content.

**Live site** allows you to see the page the way site visitors currently see it. Note, however, that **Live site** doesn't have to show the latest version of the page that you edited. For example, when the latest version of the page hasn't been published yet. To open Live site, use the **Live site** button in the [Applicationlist](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/using-the-kentico-interface.md).

> **Info:** In many cases, page lists are configured to provide edit mode buttons, which are also visible when editing the live site. Such buttons are shown both on the list page next to individual items and when viewing the details of a specific page.
>
> The **Edit** button works the same way as the corresponding action on the main toolbar.
