CMS 10.0–10.5 Using In-Context Editing (ICE) Mode

In-context editing (ICE) bridges the gap between entering content and previewing the results. Content contributors can enter content directly into a page's layout and see the results of their work immediately.

ICE makes it possible to edit this rendered content directly if users have appropriate permissions and an ICE layout has been added to the page's ASP.Net view.

To access and use in-context editing:

Navigate to Site > Site Tree.
Check out the page you want to edit.
Open the Edit tab, and select In-Context Edit View from the drop-down list.
Select an editable field to open for ICE, and make your changes.
- Edit text fields.
  When you click a text element in ICE mode, a text field opens where you can enter, delete, or copy/paste text. The size of the field adjusts to show all the content.
- Edit XHTML editor fields.
  The XHTML editor element differs from text elements. When you select content contained in the XHTML element, the XHTML editor opens above the ICE rendition. The ICE version of the XHTML editor displays the same XHTML editor controls as other modes.
Note
When you click a content area that takes a component, the Edit this field In-Context dialog displays. Make changes in this dialog. Click Apply Changes when finished.
Select the checkmark icon (✔) in the upper right corner of the ICE field to save your changes.
Note
Your changes to ICE fields save automatically if you move to a new page.

Next Steps (optional): For list elements, users can add list items to existing list elements via ICE mode in page layouts.
