Editing content
Entries
Writing a page, the fields you see, how URLs are made, and what deleting does.
An entry is one piece of content: a page, a post, a guide, a recipe. Entries live in collections, which you will find in the sidebar under Content.
The listing
Opening a collection shows its entries in a table you can search, filter and sort. You can choose which columns to show, and the choice is remembered for next time.
What you see is what you may do. If your role cannot publish, there is no publish button — not a button that tells you off when you press it.
Writing
Choose Create, or open an existing entry, and you get a form grouped into tabs and sections.
Those fields are not Nibble’s idea of what a page needs; they come from a blueprint written for this site. If a field is missing or confusing, that is a conversation with whoever builds the site, and a small change for them.
Some field types are worth knowing by name:
| Field | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Rich text | a proper editor: headings, lists, links, images, tables, code, find and replace |
| Markdown | plain Markdown with a Preview button showing exactly what the site will render |
| Assets | opens the media library to pick images or files, rather than a text box |
| Relationship | picks other entries or terms — an author, a category, related posts |
| Replicator | build a page from blocks, in any order: text, quote, gallery, call to action |
Fields marked with a red asterisk are required, and the form will tell you what is missing rather than failing silently when you save.
Saving does not publish. See Drafts and publishing — it is the single thing most worth understanding on your first day.
URLs
An entry’s address comes from two things: the pattern its collection uses, such as /blog/{slug}, and the entry’s
slug, which is the readable part of the URL. The slug is filled in from the title as you type, and you can
change it.
Change the slug of a page that is already live and Nibble records a redirect from the old address to the new one automatically. Links you have shared, other sites linking to you and search results all keep working. You do not have to do anything, and you can see the result under Redirects.
Organising
In collections that are structured — usually Pages — entries can sit under one another, and the sidebar lets you drag them into order. The URL follows the structure, so moving a page under another changes its address, with a redirect recorded as above.
Deleting
Deleting moves an entry to the trash, where you can restore it. The trash is emptied on a schedule the site sets, 30 days by default.
Restoring brings the entry back as it was, including its URL — so if you delete something by accident, put it back and nothing is lost.
