Updating Homepage and Public Sections With Inline Tools

Confirming You Can Edit Public Page Content

In Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, inline editing only appears when you are signed in with an account that has permission to update website content. If you open the public website while signed out, you will only see the normal visitor view with no editing controls. Before you try to change anything, make sure you are browsing the actual homepage or another public-facing page, not an admin area such as Dashboard, Content, Services, Pricing, SEO, Users, or Settings.

A quick way to confirm you are in the right place is to look at the page itself. Public pages show the website layout visitors see, including sections such as the homepage hero, business service highlights, ERP module promotions, comparison blocks, trust content, team content, FAQs, and contact calls to action. Admin pages, by contrast, show lists, forms, and management screens.

When inline editing is available, you will see on-page editing controls layered onto the public page. Depending on the section, this may appear as:

• a page-level edit control
• section action buttons
• visible edit handles when you hover over a block
• highlighted boundaries around editable sections

Typical areas you can update inline include:

• homepage banners and hero text
• public text sections
• callout blocks and promotional sections
• visible button text
• section-level content that appears directly in the page layout

If you previously managed service entries from the admin side, use Managing Service Catalog Content in Admin for those list-based updates. Inline editing is best when you want to change what you can already see on the page.

Opening Inline Editing from the Homepage or Public Page

1. Sign in to Sherkety ERP & Website Platform with your content editing account.

2. Open the homepage or the public page you want to update. This should be the normal website page, not an admin management screen.

3. Look for the page-level edit control that appears on the public page for authorized users. Use that control to switch the page into inline editing mode.

4. Once editing mode opens, move your pointer across the page and watch for editable regions. Sections usually become easier to identify through visible outlines, hover highlights, or action handles attached to each block.

5. Click into the area you want to work on. The page remains in its public layout, but the selected section becomes active for editing.

This editing flow is useful because you can work directly where the content appears. Instead of searching through a list of entries, you can open the homepage, find the hero banner, a comparison section, a startup package block, or another visible area, and edit it in context.

There is an important difference between page-level editing and section-level editing:

• Page-level editing puts the whole page into editable mode so you can move through multiple sections before saving.
• Section-level editing focuses on one visible block at a time, such as a headline area, a callout section, or a button group.

If you do not see any edit controls after signing in, refresh the page and confirm you are still on the public website view. If the page only shows management menus and admin navigation, return to the public page first.

Targeting the Right Section Before You Make Changes

1. In inline editing mode, scroll to the exact section you want to update.

2. Hover over the block until its boundary, highlight, or action menu appears.

3. Click the section itself, not just nearby whitespace, so the correct content block becomes active.

4. Confirm you selected the right area by checking the visible heading, image space, button row, or surrounding content.

5. Start editing only after you are sure the selected block matches the section you intended to change.

This step matters most on pages where several sections use a similar layout. On the homepage, for example, you may see multiple stacked content blocks with the same spacing, card style, or button placement. The safest way to tell them apart is by what is already visible on screen:

• the section’s heading text
• its position on the page
• the image or illustration area beside it
• the nearby call-to-action buttons
• the content directly above and below it

Common editable items inside a selected section include:

• headline text
• paragraph text
• button labels
• link text
• media or image placeholders
• short promotional statements

Be especially careful with repeated section styles. A trust block, value section, or feature row may look very similar to another block farther down the page. If you click the wrong one, you may update a different section without noticing until after saving.

A good habit is to pause for a moment after selecting a block and read the visible content before typing. If the selected section does not match the wording or placement you expected, click away and choose the correct block again.

Editing Text, Links, and Visible Content in Place

1. Click inside the selected heading, paragraph, or visible text area to begin editing.

2. Replace the existing wording with the updated content you want visitors to see.

3. If the section includes a button or linked text, select that item through the inline controls attached to the block and update the visible label.

4. Review the section immediately in the page layout before moving on.

5. Continue to the next editable item in the same section only after the current change looks correct on screen.

Inline editing in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform is designed for visible website content, so work directly with the text as it appears in the section. This is especially useful for homepage headlines, supporting copy, promotional statements, and call-to-action buttons because you can judge the result without leaving the page.

When you edit, keep the layout in mind:

• Short headings usually fit better than long multi-line titles.
• Button labels should stay concise so they do not stretch awkwardly.
• Paragraphs should remain easy to scan within the available space.
• Line breaks should look natural next to nearby images, cards, or buttons.

After each change, look at the full section instead of only the text cursor area. Check whether the updated wording still fits the design and still makes sense beside the surrounding content. For example, a revised hero message should still match the button beneath it, and a callout paragraph should still support the section heading above it.

If you are updating multilingual content, use the language controls available in your editing workflow and verify that you are changing the correct language version before saving. For language-specific editing details, see Editing Multilingual Content in the Editor.

Saving Changes and Publishing the Updated Page View

1. Finish all edits in the current page view before leaving the page.

2. Click the page-level Save control to store your changes.

3. Wait for the save process to complete. Do not close the page or switch away while Sherkety ERP & Website Platform is processing the update.

4. Watch for the confirmation state, such as a success message, refreshed content, or the page returning to its normal viewing mode.

5. Review the saved section once the page settles back into its standard layout.

The most important part of inline editing is using Save before you navigate away. Changes you make while a section is open are not fully published to the public page until you complete the save action. If you leave the page too early, your edits may remain only in the current editing session and never appear to visitors.

A normal save flow looks like this:

• select a section
• edit the visible content
• click Save
• wait for confirmation
• check the page again in normal view

After saving, Sherkety ERP & Website Platform may show one or more visible cues that your update was accepted:

• a success notification
• the edited section refreshing with the new wording
• inline controls closing
• the page leaving edit mode

If you do not see a confirmation message, stay on the page a moment longer and verify whether the updated text remains visible after the interface refreshes. If the page still looks uncertain, avoid making more edits until you confirm the first save completed properly.

Checking That Visitors Can See the Updated Homepage Sections

1. Refresh the homepage or public page after saving.

2. Scroll back to the edited section and confirm the new text, button label, or other visible content appears correctly.

3. Open the same page in a signed-out browser window or a private browsing session.

4. Compare the public-facing version with what you expected to publish.

5. If the update is missing, return to the page and confirm you saved the correct section.

This final check helps you catch two common problems: the section was never saved, or the wrong block was edited. Because inline editing happens directly on the page layout, it is possible to make a change in a similar-looking section farther up or down the page. A quick public-view check confirms what visitors actually see.

When reviewing the saved result, look for:

• the updated headline appearing in the right section
• the revised paragraph matching the surrounding content
• the correct button text showing in place
• spacing and alignment still looking normal
• no old wording remaining in the public version

If the page still shows the previous version, try these checks in order:

• confirm a success message appeared when you clicked Save
• reopen the page and verify the edited block contains your latest wording
• refresh the page again
• open the page in a signed-out or private window
• use a hard refresh if your browser is showing an older cached version

If the content in edit mode looks correct but the public page does not, reopen the same section and make sure you targeted the intended block. This is especially important on the homepage, where repeated section styles can make similar blocks easy to confuse.

Overview

Sherkety ERP & Website Platform lets authorized users update many public website sections directly from the live page layout. This approach is most useful when you want to change visible homepage content and immediately judge how it looks in context. Instead of opening an admin list and guessing which entry controls a section, you can go straight to the public page, turn on inline editing, select the section on screen, and update it where it appears.

Inline tools are especially helpful for sections such as:

• homepage hero content
• promotional text blocks
• comparison or value sections
• trust and highlight sections
• call-to-action areas with buttons
• other public-facing content blocks visible in the page layout

The main advantage is accuracy. You can see the heading, paragraph, buttons, and surrounding design while you edit, which makes it easier to keep wording aligned with the page structure. This also reduces the chance of changing the wrong content entry when several sections have similar names in the admin area.

Use inline editing when you need to:

• revise homepage messaging
• update visible public text quickly
• adjust button wording in context
• confirm spacing and layout before saving
• review the final result from a visitor’s perspective

If your work involves managing catalog-style service entries rather than editing visible page sections, return to Managing Service Catalog Content in Admin. That workflow is better for structured service records. This guide focuses on direct page editing from the public website view.

Prerequisites

Before you start inline editing in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, make sure these conditions are in place:

• You are signed in with an account that can edit website content.
• You can access the public homepage or another public website page while signed in.
• You are working on the public page itself, not inside Dashboard, Content, Services, Pricing, SEO, Users, or Settings.
• The inline edit control or section edit handles are visible on the page.
• You know which section you intend to update before entering edit mode.

It also helps to prepare the content you want to publish before you begin. Inline editing works best when you already know the exact headline, paragraph, or button wording you want to replace. Because you are editing in the live page layout, shorter review cycles make it easier to stay focused on the correct section.

Before saving, check these practical points:

• the correct page language is active
• the section you selected matches the visible content you intended to change
• any revised button text still fits the design
• nearby sections still read naturally after your update

If you are unsure whether a section should be edited inline or from an admin management page, compare this guide with Using Section and Footer Edit Controls and later continue to Choosing Between Inline Editing and Admin Pages.
